The decor was gorgeous (I wish I took more photos since the one below doesn't do it justice). It's awesome to see them repurpose a greenhouse like this! Even the restroom was so nice. Love that it's tucked into a massive nursery so you can look around and grab gorgeous plants and garden materials in one visit. I ordered a garden bagel the first time and a bowl the second time (I wish I could remember exactly which one) and both were delicious. I kind of wish they had a few more choices for breakfast and lunch but when they had available were delicious. The service was good and overall experience was so nice.

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.

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.

It is very comfortable, intimate, and filled with tons of friendly locals. The ladies and gentlemen who work here smiled lots and went out of their way to answer my questions about Heidelberg and the neighboring towns. They also replenished my latte many times as I entertained them with American humor, politics. With the cafe's desirable location on an old cobblestone street, the delectable drinks, sandwiches and sweets lure people walking by to lay down their roots and enjoy the cafe's treasures. Heidelberg is a romantic picturesque college town. I look forward to visiting again and spending many more afternoons at Casa del Caffe.

A bit away from the tourist crowds, however this cafe was packed with locals and lots of university students. We popped in after the hike up and then down the path into town (great views at the top) after a blog recommendation of the city. The place is small but very cute with a bunch of small tables that can be grouped together (for 4 people), a high to for a bigger group and then some space at the bar on the side of the coffee bar. Over all it feels modern with creative art but still clean. Food ranges from breakfast to lunch. The menu is nice with 5-6 sweeter dishes, 5-6 savory dishes and then some soups and salads. There are a variety of coffee items, a bunch of tasty teas in huge glass mugs, juices and then seasonal drinks. We came for a late lunch and ordered warm drinks, the warm winter shakshuka, the fritters & the Guess Who's Back and some warm drinks! Everything was tasty and fresh. The sauce on the shakshuka was wonderful and had great flavor. The grilled cheese sandwich, Guess Who's Back, was huge, with crunchy bread and yummy caramelized onions and wasn't the typical over-gooey sandwich you usually think of. My fritters were great as a perfect lighter dish, with a side salad and smoked salmon and a great yogurt sauce to bring it together. Drinks were also good and the detox juice and fresh tea stood out. The staff was also very friendly and helpful with descriptions of the menu when you are struggling to choose. Can't say enough about this place and will be making a trip back on my next Heidelberger visit!
