In Short
Cafés in Hamburg are so diverse and lively that it is difficult to choose just a few favorites. Nevertheless, we have selected five cafés that particularly impressed us. Whether savory or sweet, coffee or matcha – these cafés have something for everyone.
Lowinsky’s – A Café That Does Everything Right
Lowinsky’s is our first choice. The café not only offers super tasty tea/matcha and coffee, but also delicious bagels, sandwiches, cookies, brownies and banana bread. We’ve had the best matcha in Hamburg here so far and keep coming back! What’s more, the owner is passionate about what he does, so the service is great and the food and drinks are carefully selected. It’s usually quite crowded, but you definitely shouldn’t miss Lowinsky’s!

Ristretto – Small but nice
Ristretto may be small, but it has it all. With its focus on high-quality coffee specialties and a selection of homemade Italian pastries such as cornetti, aragosta and cannola, it’s the perfect place for a short break from everyday life. We come here time and time again to treat ourselves to one of the incredibly delicious pistachio cornetti.

11:11 – An Asian Breakfast Experience
Sometimes you stumble across a café that does a lot of things right: great design, friendly service and a breakfast menu that will blow you away. 11:11 offers an Asian breakfast experience that is second to none in Hamburg. The combination of modern ambience and traditional flavors makes it a must for all breakfast fans.
TRUCYS Café – Pink Paradise
TRUCYS Café is a place where the sun always shines. The pink interior, the many plants and the cozy atmosphere make you feel like you’re on vacation. The menu offers everything your heart desires, from vegan pancakes to delicious cinnamon buns. A highlight for anyone who wants to bring a little color into their everyday life.

Instinct Coffee – A Must for Brunch Fans
One café in Hamburg that we visit time and time again is Instinct Coffee. With its stylish interior and a menu that offers both classic and innovative dishes, it’s the perfect place for a relaxed brunch. Especially the pancakes with pistachio cream and the delicious matcha are our absolute favorites here!
