The coffee was expertly made, clearly artisan, and deeply thoughtful in flavor. We left with an excellent bag of beans and a new appreciation for just how good well-crafted coffee can be. Highly recommend if you care about quality and craft.

Something that tends to set Europe apart from the states is coffee culture. While you'll find great…read morelittle cafes sprinkled around European cities they aren't quite the same as the cafes in the US. In my opinion "coffee shops" as we tend to think of them here in the states have more of a coffee first focus, where there is a lot of emphasis on how the beans are ground, brewed, and enjoyed. The difference in Europe is that a European "cafe" tends to be more about sitting down to have a coffee and maybe enjoy a pastry or some bread. It's more of a place to visit and take in the ambiance or read a book and less of a place to seek out the best coffee. Just my opinion, but I find cafes in general in Europe to be really hit or miss on coffee flavor and quality. All of that being said, when visiting Heidelberg this past spring I woke up and in need of a good cup of coffee started searching Yelp for options. Enter Coffee Nerd. It fit my criteria as it had a good rating and was walkable from my hotel. I convinced my sister to get dressed and out the door we went. It was easy enough to find and is fairly centrally located - not too far from the historic part of town, but definitely more city center and likely caters more to locals than tourists. When we walked in the door it was like walking back into the USA. It had the clean lines and minimalist design of any hip coffee house I'd find back home, which oddly enough was somewhat comforting. The menu was very simple, but that was okay as all I really wanted was some cold brew. They did have cold brew, but being Europe they were not as accustomed to folks taking it to go so they put it in a hot to-go cup for me which kind of made me chuckle, but it tasted right and I was really grateful for the stop. Why four and not five stars? Pretty much because it really lacked options and I would have liked to have seen maybe a few house made syrups to choose from, and a more robust pastry case. All in all, if I had been staying in Heidelberg more days I'm sure this spot would have stayed in my rotation.

The woman running this little café could not have been nicer. She spoke next to no English but was as friendly, and helpful as could be. She even gave our daughter a little bag of fruit trolls.

The interior is so nice and plush, very inviting, especially as it started to rain when we got there. Plenty of room to stretch out whether at a table or on one of their well-worn, well-loved sofas. The coffee is good, but the pastries are divine. We got a pear tart and what I think might have been a red currant tart? Both were really delicious, sweet without being cloying and with very fresh fruit. A great place to come and relax for a bit, to people-watch, read, or otherwise.

This cafe was recommended to us by a family we are staying with near Bad Windsheim, as they had…read moreeaten great vegan cake here. When I saw it on Happy Cow (the website for finding vegetarian and vegan friendly restaurants worldwide) I hoped it was going to be a good experience. One of the staff (the owner?) told us she is vegan herself, but it is not just a vegan cafe. Lots of options for vegetarians and meat eaters, too. I couldn't find a website for them but they have uploaded a video showing their cafe at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYE2-d4dAzg They had five cake options when we went in (all vegan), and my husband & I shared an apple pie and a chocolate and banana pie, and also took a slice of chocolate cake to take away! I asked for an iced coffee and was offered the choice of having it 'German style', which was to have some ice cream (non-dairy) in it! I decided this sounded amazing and opted for this, and it was a delightful unexpected extra to my caffeine hit. We had a roll with smoked tofu and salad each, and we also had the option of a cashew nut salad but we felt satisfied with all we had ordered. However, that didn't stop us getting a Vego bar on the way out (a big chunky bar of hazelnut and chocolate heaven). It was a great little find in a small town, with friendly (English-speaking) staff and food options which would hopefully suit most diets.

I sat outside on the street, but it looked nice inside with ample seating and they also had outdoor seating in the back. I came in for the gelato which was AMAZING - fresh, smooth, great flavor.

If you want fresh, clean food, this is a great spot in Bad Windsheim.
