    June 26, 2025 in Erlangen , Bavaria Germany. Came to this cafe-restaurant in the center of town…read more Every table taken under the sun umbrellas. Tourists eating ice cream in 80+ degree heat, under the baking sun during the great European heat wave of 2025. I'm not supposed to eat ice cream to limit my blood sugar spikes, but with the amount of walking we were doing, that was not a problem. Ordered two plain cones of single scoop sorbert at 2 euros each. The employees serving us laughed at my broken German,clearly understanding English. The two lady servers smiled and gladly posed for a picture, as this was their chance to appear internationally on Yelp. We found a place to stand in the shade, as the sorbet hit the spot during one of the hottest days of our Viking Grand European River tour.

    We went to this place in the heart of Erlangen to relax, escape the summer heat and have an ice…read morecream and maybe some coffee. After all, a walk through Erlangen is boring as &€@&, compared to the rich history and many sights in Nuremberg or Bamberg. But after the ill choice to spend an afternoon here, why not try some local ice cream? Upon approaching one of the waiters with the intent of getting seated he immediately turned around and briskly left. Ok, so we seated ourselves. When nobody came to take our order I tried to gesture another young waiter (who was desperately trying to grow a beard) to take our order. Unfortunately he was too distracted ogling the scantily clad young women in their summer dresses passing by to notice me waving my hand from 6 feet away. Who can blame him... hormones... So: the service has much room to improve. Eventually an older gentleman took our order and the ice cream was delicious! There are also breakfast and warm lunch choices on the menu, and the pictures look yummy. My ice cream plate looked as pictured in the menu. The waffle was a bit bland, but ok. Prices are okay for what you get, no complaints there. The tables were very close to each other, so don't discuss anything you don't want others to hear. I now know the story of the woman's life that was next to us, as reported to her BFF, including job, boyfriend and other juicy info I wish I had not overheard. But it would have been awkward to comment, right? Maybe she thought I wouldn't understand German, lol. Finally a warning: be prepared to walk here, parking is at least half a mile away, and parking spots nearby are scarce. It's apparently part of the city's master plan to drive (pun intended) motorists and their associated business put of town. Many boarded up businesses are Testaments to that. So enjoy a stroll through the city while there are still businesses left. Or better yet, take your business to Nuremberg or Bamberg, both of which are charming and well worth a visit.

    Casa Laura, by her fans also known as "Mama Laura" or just "Mama", is the "new" café at the…read moreHenkestr./Hartmannstr. intersection at headquarter of Siemens Healthcare. Before Laura and her family took over, this café/bakery was managed by various other owners. Therefore, if you know this place already, then you should definitely stop by again! Here is why: Laura's café is the personification of the Italian lifestyle. Dolce Vita! She welcomes everybody personally, often announces the special offering of the day and is always taking care that you have a wonderful stay at her café. The food, especially during lunchtime, is made by herself. She is like a real Italian Mama :) Opening hours: * Laura's café is open during weekdays, from morning till late afternoon, which is very comfortable for a café in this area, either for work or in your free time * during the summer, she even opens during the weekends, which is great to have a sunday afternoon coffee or ice cream Offerings: * Laura offers all kinds of sweet pastries, but also various, self-made meals during lunchtime (mainly Italian pasta) * perfect coffee, also there is her own roast available! * in the summer, she offers various coffee specialties, you should try it! * she also had delicious ice-cream! * free Wi-Fi for all visitors! * you can collect stamps for coffee or pastries - once your card is "full", you will get one coffee for free! :) I really love this place and Laura & her wonderful family! You should definitely come by as well! :)
