A light and airy cafe with good seating and diverse menu…read more Prices are reasonable. Cappuccino: well made, a tad on the milkier side rather than frothy. Early Grey w/ milk: a decent cup of tea, but the brand of tea isn't the most strong and aromatic one out there. Choccochino (if that's how you spell it): this was the best out of the three we tried, not too sweet, not too bitter and not too powdery, great! The large take away cup sizes were also sufficient for the price, which was an added bonus. Overall, we were happy customers and would go again :)

The people who work there as well as the customers are very uplifting and cheerful. Now that might have a lot to do with that burst of FABulous morning espresso, but my guess is this is a happy place with great people there all of the time - no matter what. The vibe is a good one.

A must-stop for serious coffee lovers. Perfectly located in the heart of Heidelberg, Coffee Nerd…read morewas a standout experience. My coffee-snob husband absolutely loved it--which says everything. The coffee was expertly made, clearly artisan, and deeply thoughtful in flavor. We left with an excellent bag of beans and a new appreciation for just how good well-crafted coffee can be. Highly recommend if you care about quality and craft.

Something that tends to set Europe apart from the states is coffee culture. While you'll find great…read morelittle cafes sprinkled around European cities they aren't quite the same as the cafes in the US. In my opinion "coffee shops" as we tend to think of them here in the states have more of a coffee first focus, where there is a lot of emphasis on how the beans are ground, brewed, and enjoyed. The difference in Europe is that a European "cafe" tends to be more about sitting down to have a coffee and maybe enjoy a pastry or some bread. It's more of a place to visit and take in the ambiance or read a book and less of a place to seek out the best coffee. Just my opinion, but I find cafes in general in Europe to be really hit or miss on coffee flavor and quality. All of that being said, when visiting Heidelberg this past spring I woke up and in need of a good cup of coffee started searching Yelp for options. Enter Coffee Nerd. It fit my criteria as it had a good rating and was walkable from my hotel. I convinced my sister to get dressed and out the door we went. It was easy enough to find and is fairly centrally located - not too far from the historic part of town, but definitely more city center and likely caters more to locals than tourists. When we walked in the door it was like walking back into the USA. It had the clean lines and minimalist design of any hip coffee house I'd find back home, which oddly enough was somewhat comforting. The menu was very simple, but that was okay as all I really wanted was some cold brew. They did have cold brew, but being Europe they were not as accustomed to folks taking it to go so they put it in a hot to-go cup for me which kind of made me chuckle, but it tasted right and I was really grateful for the stop. Why four and not five stars? Pretty much because it really lacked options and I would have liked to have seen maybe a few house made syrups to choose from, and a more robust pastry case. All in all, if I had been staying in Heidelberg more days I'm sure this spot would have stayed in my rotation.

Those in need of high quality, responsibly sourced coffee with options other than Milch can find their haven at Kaffee Sack. It's a tight but welcoming space with limited seating that's coveted, and maybe one high top table for others to stand. What few deserts they offer look delectable.

Good way to get some fast breakfast on the go. Came here for some coffee and pastries for breakfast…read moreas I needed something open before 630 am. This was a perfect choice with lots of breads and savory/sweet treats. There's also easy to find street parking right in front of the bakery. The staff also speaks English which is helpful to know what's inside the pastries. This is more of a chain than a family run bakery. On weekends for brunch they have some delicious looking bagels. The bagels in Germany have pumpkin seeds which makes them so much better.
