So, we were famished and we ran around Mannheim searching for a quick bite before we began our lovely Halloween weekend. I must be honest, I rather frequently go to restaurants/cafés based on ratings on Google. I didn’t have the time to do it today, so I was rather sceptical in the beginning. This place was basically one of those ‘hidden gems’. The place looked like a super comfy café with lovely lounge music where you could spend hours on your laptop. So I got a simple avocado toast and a cappuccino ( Beans: Helder Italiaans) . The CAPPUCCINO! - one sip and I was in love. It was hands down one of the best I’ve ever had. It tasted beautiful! (By the way, the coffee beans are sold in the café) The ever so creamy avocado on a slice of pumpkin seed toast - to top that off, yummy tomatoes and super fresh (white and crunchy) bean sprouts. It tasted healthy but yummy 😋 Also, the waiters were very friendly, efficient and clean ( a combination that one rarely sees!). I’ll definitely be returning to try some cake and obviously the fabulous coffee the next time around! Keep up the good job guys and thanks for the lovely start to...
Read moreI regularly buy their ground espresso at their shop in Q5 6-8 and became a regular at Cafe Brue when it opened in Q6Q7, so of course I was keen to check out their coffee shop. Great location near downtown, just off Kunststraße, bright, nice clean bar area and for me, perfect opening hours during the week (9 a.m.)
Ample, spacious seating, space for buggies (so kid-friendly), but not wheelchair-friendly because there's one big step to get into the cafe itself. Friendly service.
Only 4 stars because no breakfasty-type snack to enjoy with my cappuccino (I wouldn't mind just a croissant or something light). Their whole-wheat sandwiches are yummy and price is fair. I would come here for a midday snack.
One big plus: Coffee to go! Their "Recup" concept - to-go, reusable cups with a deposit - is brilliant! Finally, someone in Mannheim is doing something about the coffee-to-go trash. It's one of the only reasons I ever went to Starbucks - they let you bring your own to-go tumbler and give you a discount.
Came once on a Saturday. Yummy cakes (€3.20 each).

Read moreFood: good to very good salmon bagel - grilled cheese sandwich Drinks: good to okay hot coffee -cold latte Service : average to good Atmosphere: great This is my third visit, we always order the same, the cold latte needs more life into it & definitely bigger glass due to price. Bagel salmon tastes food bagel could be crispy, need a bit more sauce compared to the thickness of the bread, however the grilled cheese is a top Notch! The honey touch with the cheddar cheese is an amazing combo! Hot coffee was better than the latter also came with a nice artistic touch on top of it. The wait was friendly & kind. We wanted to further order but he disappeared at some point, we had to pay at the cashier because we couldn’t catch him at any time after. But we understand, it was a Saturday morning so the place is busy. I would recommend the place for a breakfast, brunch and an afternoon coffee & cake. No...
