elbgold Winterhude | Mühlenkamp 59 — Restaurant in Hamburg

I love the coffee , quality is great, and the service and the staff.

What I don’t love is that I always have to experience, no matter if I’m there on Monday morning or on a Saturday afternoon, the plague of helicopter mothers occupying the whole space with their 10 by 10 square feet baby carriers and baboe giant child carriers !!!! Yes, THAT ARE ALL INSIDE THAT TINY CAFE . What’s next ?! you park your car inside the cafe ?! The whole of Uhlenhorst, Eppendorf and Mühlenkamp helicopter mothers are drinking coffee there for ages :)) like what’s up with you ?!

Gave me the ick, tbh. If something else was bugging her, fine. I would have preferred to not be the butt of her frustrations, having asked once and politely. That left me waiting in the already crowded area near the coffee hand-outs, where her colleague at the cashier checked again whether I had everything I needed, which was really...

One of the better cafés in Hamburg but could be better though. For instance, the americano/long black we ordered was served without a trace of crema. The mocha tasted great but I felt the coffee was drowned by the chocolate taste, perhaps a stronger blend or one extra shot of espresso would do the trick. The chocolate cake was really good in my opinion (right amount of moist) and the service was quick every during...
