Have you ever tried ice cream flavors like "basil", "matcha tea" or "blueberry lavender"? Then it's high time you did! These creative taste explosions are available at EiscafÈ I AM LOVE in Bochum (with another location in Essen). But no worries, you can also find ice cream evergreens such as "vanilla" or "chocolate" here. Many varieties are also vegan. In winter, there are delicious waffles and other pastry treats for anyone who gets too cold for ice cream. Another USP of I AM LOVE: the charming interior, which is somewhat reminiscent of a cozy classroom. Practical: you can order directly via QR code. Despite the often full seats, especially in summer, the attentive team ensures a relaxed atmosphere. 🍨✨

Café Kram is located in the heart of Bottrop - a living room café that combines rustic coziness with a chic ambience. The focus here is on one thing above all: quality. That's why the coffee beans come from the regional roasting factory Mocambo, the milk from the farmer and the sausage from the organic butcher. Everything that ends up on your plate here is handmade and/or homemade. And you can taste it. Highlights are definitely the latte macchiato with homemade salted caramel or the strawberry-rhubarb-rosemary lemonade. 🤤 There is also an outdoor area for warm days! ✨

At Café Oma Rosa, the name says it all, because a visit here is at least as pleasant as spending time with your favorite grandma: everything is bright, friendly and wonderfully pastel. You'll also be warmly welcomed, wonderfully looked after and spoiled with delicious treats! And just like Lieblingsomi, the café swears by the fact that homemade food is still the tastiest. From fresh bread and cakes to spreads and smoothies. Everything is handmade and you know exactly what's in it! That's why people with intolerances are also in good hands at Oma Rosa. And there's even a baby menu for Grandma's little ones. "Grandma is looking forward to seeing you!" 🥰

The culinary offerings at Tatis Café will transport you straight to your vacation! The many sweet dishes on the menu often have an Arabic touch. As is customary in Arab countries, tea also plays an important role at Tatis Café. But there is also delicious Moroccan coffee, spiced with cinnamon sticks, star anise and cloves. It is boiled for hours and is therefore more soothing than stimulating. In Morocco, it is therefore drunk in the evening. The menu features fusions and creations from Arabic, German and Mediterranean cuisine, which form a wonderful symbiosis. The dishes tell stories and it quickly becomes clear that owner Assia loves to travel and visit restaurants - all of which is incorporated into the menu. And what's particularly great is that all dishes are available as vegan variations. Even better: breakfast is available here at any time of day!

Anyone who likes Hamburg's Schanzenviertel district with its lovely neighborhood cafés will love the Kieztörtchen. Not only does it smell heavenly here, it even tastes divine.

Oh yes, we also love going here for breakfast and simply taking the tartlets home with us for later. Delicious!

If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and unwind with a coffee, you've come to the right place: the Mowwe café and restaurant is located in the Lanstrop nature reserve and offers the perfect balance to hectic city life. Mowwe is located on an old farm, surrounded by wide meadows, a paddock and a small wood - a great destination for excursions with children. The Mowwe farm is a family business and was first converted into a café 10 years ago by Michael and Gerlinde. Food and drinks are now served where the cowshed used to be. Thanks to his apprenticeship as a chef, son Alexander expanded the business to include a restaurant in 2016. Since then, hot meals and catering have also been offered here. The dishes on the menu are honest and down-to-earth: Tafelspitz, kale with Mettwurst and Kassler, potato pancakes and schnitzel - everything that goes with good home cooking! In good weather, the large beer garden also invites you to enjoy a cool drink and simply gaze into the distance.

With its Art Nouveau charm, tiled floor, cozy fireplace and plush armchairs from the 1950s, the Goldbar is a real institution in Essen's southern district. While you can enjoy your coffee in the armchairs during the day, the café transforms into a bar with Berlin vibes and well-mixed cocktails at dusk. 🍸There is also an outdoor terrace for warm summer nights. ✨

Eisstil is not just a café, but also a family-run manufactory with the aim of producing delicious and, above all, high-quality ice cream: In addition to natural ingredients and the avoidance of additives and artificial flavorings, this also includes a large portion of passion and love.

"Das Kaff" is a small, cozy café located at the foot of the old town in Mülheim and is the ideal place for a little break from everyday life.

Zaza's Espressobar not only serves damn good coffee, but also a variety of Italian cakes and pastries for the right dolce vita vibes! If you prefer savory food, the ingenious menemen with fresh rolls and avocado cream will knock your socks off. Or rather from the sofa - because Zaza's espresso bar with its armchairs, sofas and cushions is more like a cozy living room than a café. What a perfect place to unwind! ☕

Chandeliers, a stove, old teapots and wooden benches - the antique-rustic interior of Geli's Café transports you back in time.
