At any rate, the staff are begun helpful. The property is amazingly gorgeous and such a darling charm!!! I like it so much I'm tempted to book it for this summer now!

Great coffee and pastries, in the unique Freiburg old town setting! I had an iced late and a…read morechocolate eclair; very good. My friends ordered a variety of coffees and pastries, and everyone agreed it was excellent.

Given its location, the KKA has a captive audience of both tourists and natives alike who come to…read morethe Altstadt for a wander, a shop, and, perhaps, a cup of coffee. Sadly, the quality of the 'dark brew' ain't what it could be (read: extremely bitter espresso drinks) and that's a shame given how centrally located and charmingly laid out this place is. I'm a sucker for coffee sack-lined walls, funky old light fixtures and solid wood 'steh cafe' tables. To complete a place, however, one needs great product. That's where, at least java-wise, this place falls short of the mark. Props to the young gal who served us. She was so very nice. I'd like to pay for her to go to barista training school. Having said that, it could be a case of not having the best machines to work with, or, at the very least, not having them in the best working order.

When one visits the Black Forest, one must eat Black Forest Cake, right? I was on a day tour to…read moreFreiburg and we had a short amount of time on our own, so I used that time to search for the "best black forest cake" according to Google. I didn't even have time to sit and eat (though it looked like a cozy German cafe), but I ordered the cake to go and brought it back to my hotel room for a post 17,000-step day treat...and it was worth it! A tasty treat (especially the chantilly cream), but I don't know if I can quite say it's the best. Service was a little slow (particularly frustrating when I'd been waiting a few minutes with no acknowledgement and then a couple that came in after me were served first), but I know that's the nature of customer service sometimes.

Nothing was overly sweet either nor did anything feel heavy surprisingly. We met up with a friend who is born and raised in Freiburg and resides there as well-she says this is one of the best cafes/bakeries!
