Breakfast starts at 6:00 am, which is great for those of us who want to get a head start on holiday…read moretraffic.
Service was very friendly. The young cashier smiled warmly, explained what all I could I get for breakfast and didn't make me feel stupid when I ask her to tell me what a Strammer Max is (ham and egg over buttered toast). When the cook brought out the food, she joked with me as well. It just makes a nice start to your day to be around such nice people.
The cafe is small and clean. The decor I didn't quite understand. Walls were painted a cheery orange which didn't quite fit with the fisherman boat nets. Regardless, I appreciate that someone put a lot of effort into it.
Gambling machines and a flat screen TV available. I could imagine stopping in to watch a soccer game while traveling through.
Prices are quite reasonable for a gas station cafe. A latte macchiato will run you EUR2.60, slightly higher than the EUR2.30 you'd pay in most coffee shops in Hamburg. A good portion of Strammer Max with 3 slices of ham and 2 eggs costs EUR3.95.
Restrooms are the Sanifair sort, so money spent on the toilet doesn't have to go down the toilet.
