I have been living in Hamburg for quite a while now. I like to be a free spirit in different cafes around the city, as I really enjoy a change of scenery while working.

Very friendly staff and a little shop with delicious treats, coffee, tea, sweets, marmalade and jams, etc. If you’re looking for a gift to get someone from Hamburg, this is a good place to...
