    Wow! Definitely check this place out, well worth the trip across the bridge from Heidelberger and…read moreperfect if you are doing the Philosophers Path. 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!

    I don't know what breakfast/brunch spots are like in Germany as this was my only experience, but…read morethis was lackluster. I ordered the French breakfast. In retrospect it was the wrong choice. It comes with two slices of French toast (not very sweet, definitely not the same as US style French toast), a croissant, a crepe with chopped fruit inside, and some cheese with assorted jams. I was honestly kind of confused which jams etc went with which option, and sadly none of it tasted good. I actually traded 1 piece of French toast with my friend who ordered the healthy breakfast option for a bit of protein. The chai latte was mostly milk, very sweet with hardly any spice. My other friend ordered the omelette and said it was much better. It's a cute spot. No wifi. I guess this spot is trying to be a trendy brunch spot, but as someone from the US it didn't come close to the quality we have there. I wouldn't go again, but if I did I would try to order something more authentically German.

    What a tasty breakfast place just outside of the old town! Lots of great options, all for a…read morereasonable price (knowing how much food you get). The fresh pressed orange juice is just the start, followed by a barista who knows how to make good coffee, a fresh basket of bread & the main meal. Everything we ate was delicious. The service is quick and friendly as well. Next time I'm in town, I'm coming here.

    Loved coming here every morning for breakfast before heading to the office on an international work…read moretrip. I had to get to work between seven and 730 each day and this bakery opens at 6:15 AM each day, which was perfect to be able to leave between 630 and 6:45 AM each day. The staff inside is super friendly and she speaks English very well to be able to explain what is inside each of the pastries since nothing is labeled. It's very helpful since you can't tell from just looking at them what it's filled with. I would point to a pastry and she would tell me if it had fruit nuts, custard, or chocolate inside. They also have an espresso machine and it makes the espresso very hot, which was perfect since I had to drive about 40 to 45 minutes. They have a large variety of breads and pastries. Things are priced very well and this is a tiny shop with just standing room inside but outside they have a few tables if you want to eat versus take it on the go. I was mostly taking it on the go and eating it while driving in the car since everything is packaged in individual bags that can be used as a rapper. She would also tell me if things were very typical in Germany because I wanted to try a lot of the local pastries and foods. This was the perfect way to start each morning. This is not in your typical downtown of Heidelberg and is on a side street which was very close to my Hilton hotel. The parking is a little tight and hard to find, but there is usually a spot you can stop at for just a few quick minutes needed to order and go. Everything was baked fresh and tasted really good. There is a nut bar that is coming in Germany called Walnut Kuchen that was very delicious and to my surprise not very sweet although it is dense so it will fill you up. It's very similar to Nussecken (German Nut Corners) but was rectangular not a triangle. I also loved the pretzels with cheese (Käsebrezel). Great bakery to checkout if in Heidelberg a bit west of the old town.

    I was visiting Heidelberg from Texas and wanted to find a local bakery that was off the beaten…read morepath. Crossing over into the less touristy area of Heidelberg was refreshing. There were many sweets and breads to try and the staff were incredibly friendly. I highly recommend trying this place.
