From the owner: Das Göttinger Tageblatt schreibt über Dabis Kaffeestube:…read more "Göttingen. "Es ist ein klassisches Kaffeehaus, in dem man gemütlich sitzen und ins Gespräch kommen, aber auch ganz ungestört seine Zeitung lesen kann", beschreibt Dabergott das Ambiente. Das beinhalte für ihn auch, dass er nicht an den Tisch herantreten und fragen werde, ob es noch etwas sein soll: "Ich glaube, meine Gäste sind selbstständig genug, sich zu melden, wenn sie noch etwas möchten." Der Vater von vier erwachsenen Kindern und bekennender Grüner freut sich über interessante Gäste wie Jürgen Trittin, der eine Bürgersprechstunde im "Dabis" hatte. Auch die Einrichtung im Vintage-Stil sowie Getränke und Speisen spiegelten seine "linke Überzeugung" wider, sagt der geborene Münsteraner: "Meinen Kaffee beziehe ich vom Hamburger Libertad Kollektiv, das Projekte in Südamerika unterstützt." In seinem Café will Dabergott Lesungen und Konzerte veranstalten. Von Hauke Rudolph" Zudem gibt es einen leckeren Masala Chai.

Coming from a city that's known for its cultural diversity and hipster neighbourhoods, I was eager…read moreto pay a visit to Kassel's so-called hipster coffee shop "Rokkeberg", per recommendation by family. Easy to find, I made my way to the chain's newest outlet at Ständeplatz crossing Wilhelmsstraße on a rainy day. Upon entering I was greeted by a white-tiled bathroom-reminiscent floor, a Soundcloud playlist featuring an eclectic mix of acoustic folk, singer-songwriter and "we listened to them before they became famous" kinda artists and a team of three baristas/waiters, presumably local students. Without the typical snobbiness or flakiness you might encounter at various coffee outlets in Berlin, I placed my non-complicated order and enjoyed 400 ml of lactose-free "Ettli organic brew" cappuccino (3,60€) goodness by the window. However, this branch is rather small with 12 "people watching"-worthy seats (bar stools in pastel pink and blue) on the bottom floor and about another 15 on the first floor, which I'd avoid at any costs 'cause it might as well have been a broom closet in its former life. It lacks decoration and warmth and overall 'hipster chic'. In conclusion, come here for the coffee and not the interior.

If you plan to do work or use an electronic device while having coffee in Göttingen, you are better…read moreoff visiting another cafe. I've gone to Espresso-Bar Barista many times over the past two years, but have decided to quit going there after my last visit. The staff are ok, but the owner and his wife are very unwelcoming to those trying to do work on computers or using wifi. On my last visit, my husband and I got drinks and worked on our electronic devices for about an hour and a half. Then the owner's wife asked us if we wanted more drinks, but we decided against it because we only planed to stay for about 15 more minutes. At that point she said we would have to pay a Euro and hour for the wifi if we stayed any longer. We weren't even using the wifi -- I was reading my kindle and my husband was doing work oh his computer that didn't require Internet. This was extremely irritating because 1) we felt like we were being monitored, 2) nobody else was inside the cafe creating competition for seating space, and 3) we don't think only ordering one beverage each in under two hours is overstaying our welcome, especially when we have spent a fair amount of money at this place in the past. Needless to say we immediately paid up and left, telling them we wouldn't be returning. Normally in Germany cafes and restaurants have no problem with you staying well after you have finished drinking or dining -- not this place though.
