I haven't found a better espresso or latte than here, and if you have achey cakey pangs, they have a nice selection of muffins and cookies etc. There's even free water in a jug on the counter. It's self-service, so no waiting around to order and then pay, and you can get a card to collect stamps and get a free coffee, you can then collect the cards to get a kg of Hochland coffee. You'll find it up the side street, by Karstadt, in the pedestrian zone. You can read a magazine or today's newspaper, there are chairs and tables outside and in winter there are blankets for your knees and patio heaters, to keep the top of your head warm. It's all very civilized.

Very friendly service keen to practise speaking English as soon as the opportunity presented itself. Coffee and tea equally good. Well worth a visit in itself but a perfect reward for 2 hours sightseeing in the area.

After reading all the positive (german) reviews I decided to check out Bruno's for myself…read more Unfortunately I wasn't as pleased. If you go out by yourself you probably won't mind sitting right across the bar, and by facing it it's easy to start chatting with the owner or the waiters (unless they're already engaged in a discussion themselves). But if you're in company, it just doesn't feel that comfortable. The selection and quality is quite good thoug.

I went on Sunday around 2 pm and the place was pretty crowded, I got lucky and find an empty table just when my order was completed. Finding a place to sit may be a bit of a problem.

The staff is friendly specifically Christoph with the red bun. The menu is extensive and features diner style food. It is really cheap and tastes delicious. I definitely love the homey atmosphere.

One reason I like it is they serve the Milchkaffee Cafe au lait in a bowl, sometimes there's even a biscuit hidden under the cup. It's little things like that that I love in a cafe. One must eat is the home made waffle with fresh fruit and cream. Another must drink is the Guinness, it's the best I've had in Germany. Oh and if you're into automats there's an automat museum. Just visit the loos there and have a look. Just don't be in too much of a hurry. Speed eating is not a feature here.
