In Short
Porridge can be surprisingly exciting! Grain in Hamburg proves it with a really cool concept: here, you can put together your own breakfast bowl just the way you like it. There are plenty of homemade ingredients, plus coffee and matcha, all without refined sugar. We’re fans!
Industrial Charm Meets Creative Bowls
Just a short walk from Feldstraße U-Bahn station, Grain is bringing fresh ideas to Hamburg’s breakfast scene. The café has an urban look with relaxed industrial charm. There are a few outdoor seats too, although we didn’t find them particularly cozy. The concept more than makes up for it, though. At Grain, it’s all about natural ingredients, personalized combinations and plenty of homemade goodness. From porridge to granola, much of it is made in-house.

Mix It Your Way!
We love the idea of building your own bowl from scratch. Whether you go for creamy porridge with fruity berry compote or coconut yogurt with crunchy chocolate granola, you’re free to mix and match as you please. If you like things a little sweeter, you can add agave syrup, for example. We especially appreciate that so many components are homemade and that they deliberately avoid refined sugar.
The price is appealing, too. For 9,50 €, you can build your own bowl. Given the variety and homemade ingredients, we think that’s really fair! If you’d rather not put together your own bowl, you can also choose from ready-made combinations.
Our Verdict on Grain
Grain is a great spot for anyone looking for a special breakfast in Hamburg. The build-your-own-bowl concept, the many toppings and the homemade ingredients really won us over. We also really like the easygoing atmosphere, even if it’s not the coziest place. We’d happily come back and keep trying the different combinations!
