Görlitz is a beautiful city that miraculously survived destruction in World War II, while Dresden…read morereceived the wrath of the British and American bombardment. Later, it was not remade by the Soviet bloc East German government due to insufficient funding, which would have demolished many of its old buildings (by then seriously distressed). Consequently it became the best preserved example of German Baroque architecture in the country. The Espresso-Bar Cafe Kränzel is a jewel of a place that epitomizes the charming character of Görlitz. It is located in one of the best areas of the city -- in fact the historic core. If you are walking between the Untermarkt (the older and smaller market square) and the church of Sts. Peter and Paul (a glorious architectural colossus), your likely path will be on the street called Neissstrasse. That would bring you directly to the Cafe, at the corner with the street Kränzelstrasse. The proprietor of the Cafe is a wonderful person. I learned that he, a bright artistic type who is quite personable, studied the art of coffee (in its many magnificent varieties) in Italy, perhaps the best place to learn all about it. Anyone who visits this place will feel most welcome, and certainly they will be treated to some of the best offerings available in this lovely city. The Cafe Kränzel is a great part of discovering the wonders of Görlitz.

Wow wow and WOW! This Café in beautiful Zehlendorf is an absolute insider. It's 1,5 km from my home…read moreand I can't believe I haven't discovered it up to this day. When I first came in I was absolutely stunned by the nice and cozy flair. When I spotted the display of the deliciously looking cakes I immediately started taking pictures. The lady working at the Café seemed a bit confused, rather distanced at first (because of that reserved attitude and her lovely southern accent I was guessing she must be from Baden-Württemberg), almost worried that something was/is wrong. Quite the contrary, I was in love with this place from the first moment on! So I sat down on a very cute little table right next to the window and ordered one of the 2 soups of the day-I took the red lentils with coconut although the red beet soup with orange and ginger sounded just as good! It didn't take very long and the soup was ready to be eaten... well no... I had to take pictures first, of course! Not only the lovely presentation on a wooden board but also the fact that it was served with bread (super fresh and delicious) & butter decorated with parsley screamed for being photographed! And now the taste-very good, even a bit spicy which I love, simply delicious! Besides that I was very much enjoying the atmosphere-the white furniture, the beautiful pictures on the walls, the book shelves and magazines, fresh flowers on each table and not to forget ALL these treats behind the counter! Although the Café was well attended from when I got there, more and more people came and I noticed that a lot of them must be regular guests as the waitress (I'm assuming she's the owner of Milch&Honig, too) was talking to many in a very familiar way, she even knew their preferences offering either special cakes or varieties of lactose, gluten free, vegan. Very impressive! So as I sat there watching and observing, I couldn't get my eyes off the yummy looking cakes and each time I realized a new one that had just been brought out of the kitchen. What a tough decision but I finally decided on the cheesecake and OMG let me tell you-it was fantastic-so creamy, so tender, so fluffy, sooooooo good-I especially loved that it wasn't too sweet! It even had a bit of a lemon taste as well-hence I'm in love even more and know I'll be back here very very soon! Thank you so much for such amazing delights! BTW-the lady is from Baden ;-)
