An amazing coffee oasis near the Dortmund downtown in Germany…read more One of the best coffee beans I bought this year, has all the tastes you can smell :) The place, has comfortable and cozy, just what you need to enjoy your favorite brew. They offer different brewing methods from a syrupy espresso in a La Marzocco to aero press and pour overs. If you ever find yourself on this side of the world and missing great coffee, this is your place!

What a surprise to find an excellent third wave coffee roaster in otherwise rather uninspiring…read moreDortmund. This place is in a corner space that is light, bright and very spacious. They also have the roaster in the back so coffee is roasted on site. The coffee is nicely roasted, and they serve a wide range of hand brewed filter coffee. They offered six different coffees when I was there and I sampled all. The standout one was the Ethiopian as well as the Guatemala but they were all good. For espresso based beverages they offer two different espressos one Brazilian and one Ethiopian. Very different but both very good. I personally preferred​ the Ethiopian one on its own and the Brazilian went excellent with milk based coffees. They also serve some nice pastries and cakes. I tried the gooseberry cake and that was really delicious. Couple that with friendly, fast and knowledgeable service and you have a winner! What could improve to make it a five you may ask? I would say more food options as well as more seats - yes I like the spaciousness but it also gets full even when it would be easily possible to fit more people. This is however clearly the best coffee in Dortmund and is a solid contender for best in Germany.

Röstmeister in Oberkassel... I went, because I had to kill some time in the area…read more It's a coffee place that is roasting its own coffee and serves s small selection of snacks and cakes. You can also buy fresh coffee beans for your machine at home. I really liked the interior design as well, with its industrial design. The location is fantastic I think, close to various tram stations and restaurants. Certainly a recommendation for a coffee in the area! P.S. But... I remain a fan of DieKaffee in Pempelfort: http://www.yelp.de/biz/die-kaffee-d%C3%BCsseldorf

Got a flat white. And while I liked the space, I didn't quite love my flat white. Maybe Ill try…read moresomething else the next time before I break up with this place.

This little coffee was the perfect place to wait out the rain while exploring downtown Dusseldorf…read more The decoration is cool trending towards hipster and they offer many coffee selections to choose from. Being the boring person that I am, I ordered a coconut milk latte and was disappointed to find out they did not have coconut milk so i settled for Almond. The venue was really great and the internet was free and fast. It would be a perfect place to spend an afternoon when working remote. The service was also great and I was happy that they recognized my lack of German and switched to English graciously. My latte was a little grainy and there was something weird with the overall texture of it. It was not the best latte I ever tried but it was an overall great experience.

Found this lovely little hipster joint hiding in Düsseldorf…read more The coffee is off the scale perfect ! With cakes to match !

Very friendly staff. Most importantly they do a nice job with their roasts. Beans are not burned…read moreand they offer multiple options for a straight espresso, three to be exact during my last visit, based on roast and Desired strength. Flavor is great on all three. Also nice smoothie, sandwich and dessert options.

Another one of those places that I only found thanks to previous 5-star reviews…read more Always on the lookout for a fantastic cup of coffee, I was walking through Duisburg and stumbled across a café with an absolutely perfect 5-star rating on Yelp... needless to say, I had to try this out! The coffeehouse is situated close to the König-Heinrich-Platz, hidden away in a small alley - I am pretty sure that I wouldn't have found it, had I not been directly looking for it. It is a small cafe with plenty of seats (indoors & outdoors), a tiny counter, its own roaster in the corner (yes, they do roast their own coffee beans!!!) and enough coffeehouse atmosphere to supply the entire city with it. It is quite obvious that the people here have a deep love for coffee - it's not just another "double-ccino-caramel-froth-something"-place, this is pure coffee made with love! And what happens when people add enough love, passion and knowledge to their product? You can taste the difference! Best café in Duisburg, if you ask me! Bottom line: * Gorgeous coffee shop in the city centre * They roast their own beans... * ...and make sure the coffee is made with love! * Pure coffee romance!!! *sigh*

I love this place. Beans are freshly roasted and people who work there are attentive and warm. It…read morewas my spot during a short visit in Duisburg.
