After a long 16 hour travel from San Francisco, we checked in into our room in Marriott at around…read more3PM. Just to get out of the whole jet lag situation, we immediately came here and it was just buzzing. It was early spring in Bavaria, with a lot of people sitting outside and drinking coffee here. I know what you are thinking!! Early spring/? Bavaria? Shouldn't we be drinking some really nice Weihenstephan up on the mountain in the world's oldest brewery? I agree but drinking Beer after a 16 hour flight to combat jet lag would not be the proper if we wanted to stay awake and that is where Junker's comes in. Probably one of my top 5 or 6 coffee shops in the world but if you want to add a nibble to your coffee then I would rate this place among my top 3. For the first time ever, I had a Cafe Bombon which was awesome and completely took my jet lag away. Next day we went there again, this time for Breakfast and Coffee and the yogurt they gave was easily the best Yogurt I EVER tasted in my life. The only negative for me was they open at like 10AM or so and close by 5PM or so. I am giving this review anyway on Yelp although there are not that many reviews on Yelp in Europe. One interesting thing I found here was they serve coffee made from beans from India. While I personally prefer Ethiopia/Kenya beans, coffee made from Indian beans is not bad. While it doesn't have the same buttery nutty flavor you get from African beans, it also doesn't have the sour notes you get from South American beans and the coffee here is very good

Highlights: Easy walk from Old Town, this is a very hip shop with outstanding latte art and…read moreexcellent roast (on the more acidic side). Food: The coffee is excellent. Easily the best I've found in any European city (coming from an American latte culture perspective). Someone here clearly cares about getting the right roast, and isn't using the all too common burnt beans. Limited pastries, but all looked very good. Ambiance: Aside from the coffee, the ambiance is the other selling point. It's on the smaller side, but has comfortable seating for about 16-20 people. This would be a good place to work for a couple hours, but not for calls as the music is rather loud. Experience: Very friendly baristas, cool vibe, easy spot to get to. Highly recommend.

Man vs. Machine serves excellent coffee and sits in a great location, easy to reach and surrounded…read moreby walkable spots. The quality of the coffee really stands out -- rich, balanced, and clearly crafted with care. The only thing missing is a proper seating area. It would be wonderful if the second floor could eventually be opened or arranged to provide a comfortable space to sit, enjoy the coffee, and relax. Right now, it's more of a grab‑and‑go experience. One charming detail: from the outside, you can't immediately tell it's a coffee shop. The minimalist, almost industrial look fits the "Man vs. Machine" name perfectly -- it's unique, but it might surprise first‑time visitors. Overall, great coffee, great location, and lots of potential if more seating becomes available.

The setting of the place is very nice with tables and couches depending on your group size. It can be very home like with the setting of the couches which makes it an excellent environment to relax and get some work done. Toys for kids and nice areas for families to visit. I have yet to try their food, but everything I saw looked and smelled good.

We all decided to meet...and, I can affirm Sabine H knows her stuff. What a wonderful recommendation :) If you are familiar with Blue Bottle, Stumptown, etc in the States...Vits Kaffee will please your coffee-feigning palate just perfectly. If you aren't? Well, you're in for a treat, too! It's actually quite a large spot with many seating options, and very convenient to public transportation. Arriving around 2pm, our mellow group took over the back corner with couches. I think its meant for kids (some toys/games) but also really nice for a group of 7 or so to catch up and have some extremely lovely coffee. By 4pm all the tables were filled with weekend revelers....and the din elevated significantly. The sound was a bit loud, but very congenial and jovial. My two drinks: a cappuccino (swan milk foam art!) and a hot cocoa (this one came with a bear!). I actually preferred the hot cocoa, very rich and dark and such an indulgent treat. Some key points: *they roast in-house. It smells divine. *They have an extensive menu that describes all of the beans and procedures, and even information on how you can learn to make the milk foam designs! This may be motivation enough to learn German. So I can make milk foam like teddy bear faces. It really does make the experience better, it does! *table service or counter service is available. Our server was very helpful, and several stopped by to make sure our group had everything we needed. *cash or german bank cards only. For a large group with 2 drinks each, several desserts and great service...45euro. I thought it to be extremely economical given the location and quality of the coffee!

One of my all-time favorite coffee shops anywhere. I've known these guys for most of a decade and…read morethrough three locations (all within a space of about 200 meters). They've grown and changed names along the way. Additionally, they've added roasting their own coffee to the mix. The baked goods are top notch and service is fantastic too! It's one of the things I miss about Munich (food, friends & the Bavarian culture are a few others). In any case, the good news is that their beans are now available to buy and taste nearly as great at home as they do when they make it for me. FYI - Their location only has standing tables (inside a tent for the winter) so just be forewarned. Enjoy!

Kaffeerösterei at Viktualienmarkt has an undeniably great location -- right in the heart of…read moreMunich's famous market, surrounded by energy, fresh produce, and that classic Bavarian charm. The ambiance is warm, lively, and inviting, and the service is genuinely excellent, with staff who keep things moving smoothly even when the market gets busy. For Mr. C, though, the coffee wasn't anything special. It simply wasn't his style of caffè latte -- nothing wrong with it, just not the flavor profile he prefers. Still, the overall experience, from the atmosphere to the friendliness of the team, makes the café worth a visit for anyone exploring Viktualienmarkt. A beautiful spot, great vibes, and solid service -- even if the coffee didn't quite hit the mark for him.

If you go looking for a cafe with the name that is on Yelp, you are not likely to find it. It's…read moreactually called Felix Cafe and named after the founder of the coffee roaster. There is parking in the back of this shop and is accessible before you get to the shop itself. It's a decent sized place with tons of coffee and coffee brewing accessories. They carry a variety of teas, chocolate and other goodies. They have a number of sweet items like cakes and muffins available. Unfortunately my German experience of "looks better than it tastes" has proven right once again and hence, the four stars. I am still looking for a cafe that serves amazing coffee and cake. The coffee here is very good, and I loved it. They can brew you something special from their long list of coffees using multiple brewing methods, if you so desire. The place was packed by the time we left. Staff are friendly and the service is pretty quick. I would come back here for the coffee again. Glad I found this place and would come again when in the area.

Best coffee in the valley (ok, I haven't tried all the other places that sell coffee around the…read morelake, but I'll take a bet none of them is as good as this). A must stop for coffee lovers, they sell all kinds of specialty brands (at a price, obviously). What I really liked was the personal service by the owner himself, he told us about the coffees and different preparation methods. We could also take a smell of the different beans that are kept in large metal canisters - the difference is amazing. Upon reading the descriptions at first I thought they'd be exaggerated, but now that I've tried some of the coffee I can tell you it's worth it. The only downside is that unfortunately they don't take as much effort to find and sell good milk and croissants as they do with their coffee (why ruin a great coffee with a mediocre milk?). Also you cannot really sit outside because it's too noisy due to the road.
