Tante Emma is one of the growing lineup of hipsterish joints to open up in Munich. It's a cross…read morebetween a hipster cafe and a slightly colonial / country setting. The ambience here is quite nice and there is outdoor seating for warm days. The only drawback to the outdoor seating is that it's on a noisy main road. I have walked past this place a few times and we finally decided to give it a try. For what is a somewhat cool place I was totally disappointed at the push button coffee machines. The coffee was quite ordinary and lukewarm. I must admit I did not like the coffee here at all. We are so spoiled for choice for good coffee in the area. The menu is small but enough choices for lunch and breakfast. There is a daily specials board as well. I tried the chorizo omelette and it was ok. Without the chorizo this would have been a bland omelette. I also tried the Bircher muesli and I am afraid it was the worst Bircher muesli I have had since moving to Europe. It was tasteless and had soft overripe pear which tasted pretty ordinary. To be fair i would not rate the food more then 2.5 stars. The coffee would be a 1 star for me. Overall I would not rate it more than 2.5 but would be ok with a 3. In a suburb with so many great places for coffee and breakfast, I would have to be desperate to come back here again. As I always say no matter what the ambience is like, I come here to eat ;-) if the food is average no matter what else is great, it barely makes up for it.

We were greeted right away and got to choose to sit inside or outside, then went to the register to place our order. I got the Mr. Cherry and my bf got the Mr. Bacon.

Visiting Munich - seeing…read morethis place as a breakfast choice was fun - and honestly I wasn't initially enamored as I expect something like this to be a caricature of the real thing maybe. But the menu felt unique and interesting enough to visit. I got the Apple Almond Affair - stacks of pancakes, roasted apples and almonds - interlaced with vanilla cream, whipped cream and a side of vanilla ice cream. The Palm Beach - a coconut infused chia pudding with fruit. And - the Hermosa Beach - hash browns topped with mushrooms, onions, egg, bacon and cheese. Additionally - coffee! I was very satisfied with all the flavors - as I mentioned - better than California actually offers. The apple pancake dish was decadent but not over the top intensely rich as one may expect it to be. The hash brown dish was super flavorful and pleasantly presented, with fried eggs perfectly adorning the stack. And the chia pudding was also delicious (covered in bananas - which I removed for myself but were eaten by my companion). Currents and other fruit was atop this dish - a lovely flavorful pudding. Service was outstanding, welcoming. Seating - busy morning but no real wait. Cash only on this day due to network issues but that was ok. Just a very inviting space with lovely people and uniquely outstanding food. Must visit in Munich no matter where you are from!

We ended up at California Bean since it was one of the few places open on the Assumption of Mary…read moreholiday. It's very interesting/confusing to see other Californians review this place AND say that it is authentic to their experience going to a diner back home. Our table ordered omelettes with toast, OJ, and coffee. While the latter were fine, I take issue with the main dish. Every diner I've been to back home has Heinz ketchup and perhaps a hot sauce like Tabasco or Cholula. Every other table in sight also lacked these items, which definitely made my meal less enjoyable. We need seasoning beyond salt and pepper if we are going to call this place California-inspired. Service-wise....it's Germany, not California. Leave your expectations for cheerful and attentive service back home. It ain't happening here. Lastly, cash only? Even cash only joints here tend to post a sign somewhere to alert you in case you don't know. We found ourselves scrambling due to this policy. Ambiance and decor was boring and I have definitely seen something like this in California. SKIP California bean (unless you're in a bind like we were)

They have a buffet for Sunday brunch which is quite substantial with lots of variety from breakfast through to lunch and dessert items on offer. I really enjoyed the pasta and fish that was on offer today and absolutely loved the fresh warm Breze on offer. Coffee here is also good and the atmosphere is really fantastic. There was a piano player on who was playing some nice tunes and we hung around for 3 hours and had a fabulous brunch. Would come back here in a heartbeat for Sunday brunch :-))

The first thing that catches your eye is how cute the store is. Then you begin to notice that it is meant to be photographed. The food and decor are set up perfectly for instagramming. So much so that out of the row of 5 tables we were sitting in, at least two spent most of their time taking and posting pictures. Besides being beautiful, the food was also delicious. We had the oats and the yogurt, which looked very similar but did not taste the same. Both were light and the fruit was fresh. I had a latte with almond milk, which was so good and of course had some latte art. My husband had an americano. Great place if you're in the area and want some picturesque food and coffee.

Emmi's Kitchen is a cozy little spot hidden back in a courtyard, which I imagine is lovely on a day with more favorable weather. The inside isn't huge, but luckily there was room for our party of six -- we were able to push a few tables together. Most of the other tables were taken, so I imagine it's even busier on weekends. I got the avocado toast with tofu scramble, and a couple people in our group got the avocado toast without it. We all got coffee, and some of us also got orange juice. The food was tasty and fresh, and although I found the portion size to be a bit small relative to the price, I would probably come back here to try other things on the menu.

I was jealous... ...from the moment I walked in. If I had this cafe below me, I'd be a happy camper (and perhaps a little rounder). Cafe Ruffini has two parts: it's split into a "take away" portion where you can point at a window and take cafe eats with you if you're on the go. OR you can grab a seat inside. I was here midday and it was packed! We had to wait around for a little bit. There was something for everyone whether you were sitting for a cappuccino & a cake or there for a whole meal. Upon entering, you'll see an enticing case of pastries. As a non-German speaker/ tourist, I was pretty reluctant to ask, but there was charming man, that spoke enough english to help me with my curious sweet tooth. I picked the walnut cake (see pic). It seemed like the popular thing. By the last bites of it, I saw 2-3 others had ordered the same. If you want to spruce up your normal coffee routine, get the amaretto latte. It's a bit sweet, but a treat to top off a meal along with that walnut cake. Ok...I think I've just convinced myself that I need to go back soon. Walnut cake + amaretto latte. One more thing, I think they screen films there at night and/or have live music too. This might be another excuse to go back. They have an extensive wine list available online. Too bad my friend moved back to Los Angeles. :(

One of my favourite cafes in Munich, run by a self-managed cooperative…read more The cakes are awesome, you can also buy them in their little store at the corner. Good wine selection and good food (organic if you care), in the summertime the rooftop terrace is usually open (self-service though, but very nice for sundowns or breakfast). Often quite full, especially on weekends - if you want to come with 4+ people better to reserve a table. Be aware though, that the many good reviews received by this place not necessarily mean that this is a perfect cafe. If you see it from the outside or take a quick first impression look inside you may wonder if this is the right place - I think the reviews just show that people like to hang out here, the atmosphere is nice despite the dated interior. :-)
