9 Best Hamburg Cafés for Kaffee und Kuchen

By Andrew Harper

The Hideaway Report | October 30, 2017

One of the most delightful German traditions is Kaffee und Kuchen, or coffee and cake, which is the Teutonic version of afternoon tea. German people still treasure this ritual, and I must admit that it was quite irritating to see so many slender locals indulging in slices of decadent torte. In the name of research, I risked my waistline in order to find the best places to enjoy Kaffee und Kuchen in Hamburg.

Fairmont Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten: Whether you stay at this hotel or not, do not miss the chance to have coffee and cake or afternoon tea in the ornate and historic Wohnhalle. The torte selection is dreamy, but since we had a substantial food-and-beverage credit at the hotel, we opted for high tea, complete with savory finger sandwiches, flawless scones with clotted cream and exquisite little pastries.

Neuer Jungfernstieg 9-14. Tel. (49) 40-3494-0

The Bridge Bar

The Westin Hamburg: With floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the harbor, this ranks among Hamburg’s most dramatic locations for Kaffee und Kuchen. The quality of the baked goods matches the view; each torte and tart is a work of art.

Platz der Deutschen Einheit 2. Tel. (49) 40-8000-100

Roncalli Grand Café

In the Levantehaus, below the Park Hyatt Hamburg, this café calls itself “historic,” even though it opened in 2015. It feels classic, at least, with crystal chandeliers, bentwood chairs and leather booths upstairs. The café offers a wide variety of cakes, both traditional and modern. I opted for a moist, sweet and slightly tart torte with mango and crème fraîche. Our overworked waitress had far too many tables; expect slow service.

Mönckebergstrasse 7. Tel. (49) 40-3003-4943

Wasserschloss

The name of this establishment translates as “Water Palace,” and indeed, it occupies an exceptionally beautiful historic building on the tip of an island in the Speicherstadt neighborhood. The shady front patio is inviting, but I preferred the terrace at the rear, with better water views. The tortes are merely passable — the setting is the draw — so I opted for an Earl Grey tea-infused crème brûlée to go with my pot of Rote Grütze fruit tea. Tea is the specialty here; inside is one of the largest and loveliest tea shops I’ve ever seen.

Dienerreihe 4. Tel. (49) 40-5589-8264-0

Das Liebermann

Located in the magnificent Säulenhalle (Hall of Columns) in the Hamburger Kunsthalle, this café provides a wonderful atmosphere in which to refresh your appetite for art. The tortes and service are less formal than the architecture, but a break here is still a delight. Open only to those who purchase tickets to the museum.

Glockengiesserwall 5. Tel. (49) 40-3037-5196

Cafe Gnosa

I didn’t have time to try this café in the heart of Hamburg’s gay neighborhood, but more than one local told me it has some of the best cakes in Hamburg. Any LGBTQ visitor with a sweet tooth should put Gnosa on their itinerary.

Lange Reihe 93. Tel. (49) 40-2430-34

Should you find yourself in the western Blankense suburb along the Elbe, don’t miss the chance to have coffee and cake at Witthüs, a historic villa with a large garden patio. Its specialty is “Jellyfish on Sand,” a composition of homemade nut cake, fresh fruit, rum-soaked cherries and whipped cream.

Elbchaussee 499a. Tel. (49) 40-8601-73

Museumscafé im Jenisch Haus

This café in the elegant Jenisch Haus, a villa-turned-museum surrounded by gardens, is operated by Hotel Louis C. Jacob. As you might therefore suspect, the torte selection is of high quality. The space is small but bright and elegant, with high ceilings and suitably serious oil paintings, and in good weather, outdoor seating is also available.

Baron-Voght-Strasse 50. Tel. (49) 40-8229-0822

Just down the street from the Jenisch Haus, this restaurant floats on the Elbe River, giving patrons a front-row seat when the occasional massive container vessel or cruise ship passes by. The cake selection isn’t large or fancy, but I very much enjoyed watching the river traffic while nibbling a slice of strawberries-and-cream torte.

Fähranleger Teufelsbrück. Tel. (49) 40-8241-87

Speicherstadt Kaffee

Although very busy on Saturdays and Sundays, it was much less busy on Monday.

The coffee and cakes.

Although very busy on Saturdays and Sundays, it was much less busy on Monday.

The coffee and cakes were wonderful, with the choice of cakes seeming to change daily.

The venue itself was quite unique as the coffee is roasted in the warehouse building right next to the tables.

Definitely worth a pitstop if you are in the area.

Kaffee Hamburg

Mit Liebe gemacht :)

Inside it's cosy and.

Inside it's cosy and chic, always couwded but still confortable and quiet.

The pastry showcase offers always a wide selection of cakes: appletart, chocolate cakes and tart, plum crumble tart tatin and so on. Croissants are just delicious: buttery, fluffy and airy inside, crispy outside. Try them in the so called French breakfast combo, with butter, raspberry jam, cucumber and fresh cheese.

Remeber to book your table, no matter what day, what time, it's always sold out! And try to catch one of the 3 tables close to the window. In a cold sunny day, sit outside with a blanket on your knees and enjoy your hot drink!

this is rather sad because the café itself is lovely and very central.

Travel Tips: Hamburg

This is the second post in my new Travel Tips series where I provide travel tips for specific destinations, whether they be cities, regions or countries. My Travel Tips guides aim to give you some of my best tips for exploring a new place and hopefully help you to save a bit of money, maximize your sightseeing time and find the most convenient ways to get around. You can find posts in this series under Destinations – Travel Tips in the menu bar. Today I’m featuring beautiful Hamburg, Germany!

Travel Tips: Hamburg

Food & Drink

The Hamburg Franzbrötchen.

• Hamburg has a great variety of cuisine due to its history as an international harbour city. Since it’s situated right on the river Elbe, fish and seafood are abundant. A local specialty is Pannfisch, a fish dish featuring fried potatoes and a mustard sauce.
• A must-try baked good is the Franzbrötchen, a small, sweet butter and cinnamon pastry found in every Hamburg bakery. Makes a great to-go breakfast or coffee break snack.
• I only had a chance to visit a few restaurants in Hamburg, but I list my top recommendations in my Hamburg restaurant guide.

Transportation

• The Hamburg Public Transport Network (HVV) is very easy to navigate and includes S-Bahn trains, U-Bahn trains, some longer distance trains, buses, and ferries.
• Rather than buying single tickets, consider buying the 9am day ticket even if you’re only planning to travel twice in one day since it’s more economical. Up to five people can travel on a 9am group ticket for a favourable flat rate, making it a great deal for pairs or small groups of travellers.
• If you have a smartphone, the free HVV app is very handy for looking up transit schedules, travel routes, and ticket info.
• If you plan to do a lot of travelling and sightseeing within Hamburg, you may want to consider buying the Hamburg Card. The card can be purchased for a single person or group of up to five people for anywhere from 1 to 5 days. It offers several discounts to museums, restaurants, theaters, harbour cruises, city tours, musicals and more. We didn’t end up buying the Hamburg Group Card during our visit, but after looking back on the activities and amount of travel we did, it might have been slighter cheaper for us to get one rather than buying daily group transit tickets and admissions to certain sights.

• Hamburg is actually the third largest musical city in the world after New York City and London. Musicals alone attract upwards of 2 million visitors to the city annually. There are several shows to choose from, such as the ever popular The Lion King ( Der König der Löwen), Rocky, Aladdin or DasWunder von Bern. Note that the musicals are performed in German (so Be Prepared or Seid Bereit!)
• If you plan to visit Hamburg mainly to see a musical, you might want to check out some of the musical package deals available that combine musical tickets with a hotel stay.
• Musicals that take place at the Stage Theater im Hafen and the Stage Theater an der Elbe require you to board a small ferry at Landungsbrücken that will take you across the river to the theater. Ferries run regularly leading up to performance time and take you back to the mainland after the show. Make sure you leave yourself plenty of time to get to the theater!

My Top Activity Recommendations

• Check out my top sightseeing spots in Hamburg for ideas of what to see in the harbour city.
• Try a walking tour to see the key city sights in a short period of time. I really enjoyed our 2 hour free tour with Sandemans New Europe. The tour covered the Rathaus, St. Petri, HafenCity, Speicherstadt, St Nikolai Church, and much more.
• If the weather is good, go for a stroll through one of Hamburg’s many parks or take a ferry boat ride. The number 62 ferry included in the HVV transportation network visits many spots that more expensive sightseeing ferry boats visit, so you can save some money and see the best of Hamburg from the water.
