In Short
Picnic in Hamburg? Definitely a great date idea for the summer, if you know where to get good takeaway boxes. We tested the breakfast box from Café Dailycioso on a sunny morning, grabbed two matcha lattes and headed to the city park. The result: wonderfully uncomplicated, delicious and definitely a plan that we will repeat.
Breakfast Outside can be so Easy
Who says you always have to sit in a café? The city is full of green oases – Stadtpark, Alsterufer, Jenischpark, Planten un Blomen – and just as full of stores that offer breakfast to go. Pre-order a box, get a cold drink, grab a blanket and off you go. Ideal for a date, a meeting with friends or a spontaneous mini-vacation with the family, in the middle of Hamburg.
What’s Inside the Box
We opted for the breakfast box from Café Dailycioso (€39.90 for two people) and also took two matcha lattes with us. In the box:
- Two filled bagels
- One Portuguese croissant
- One butter croissant
- One bread roll
- Two natas
- Yogurt with granola & fresh fruit
- Two freshly squeezed orange juices
Everything fresh, everything well packed, everything ready for the picnic blanket.
Food, Sun & Conversation
The city park was the perfect spot: spacious, quiet, plenty of room, a bit of shade if you want it. The box contains exactly what you need outside, uncomplicated but good food. The bagels were hearty, the croissants buttery, the yogurt fresh and not too sweet. Natas are a must when they’re around anyway. Plus the orange juice – not a concentrate, but freshly squeezed and matcha with a slightly sweet note.
More Picnic in Hamburg
Hamburg has more than enough places for such a breakfast in the countryside. The breakfast box was not the first one we tried and certainly not the last. The idea is simple, but it works: pick up your food, find your favorite spot and get started. If you’re not a fan of the classic café visit or just want something different, just the thing.
