Nachbarschaft is my favorite cafe in Heidelberg. They are now also offering Vanille Soft Eis with toppings and also ice creamed drinks! The Soft Eis happens to be vegan and it is delicious. They also have great vegan options for cake and the two shops attached Güneys Garten and Unter Freunden have many vegan options for buffet, soup, and pizza.

Great coffee. The avocado bread is delicious... Don't even get me started with the white chocolate cheesecake. Next door is a soup place, by the same owner. I love getting a soup and avocado bread for lunch. Cool, young vibe. With this place, I'm never disappointed.

A great breakfast place in the heart of Altstadt in Heidelberg The offer a few things but are all well done The service is ok, you order at the front and pay for your food, no reservations and it’s hard to get a table Grilled cheese sandwich is a classic and so simple yet delicious The bigger brunch dishes are really nice , the only thing is that the hummus is very mild in flavor which I didn’t expect a hummus to be Avocado toast? Gorgeous Hot drinks are ok too

Small cozy café with no fixed menu, only what is on display, but great vegan/vegetarian options and fair prices. The tahini halva brownie and avocado bread was nice and recommendable. The zebra cake was a bit dry. It is located very central and the service was good. The coffee from Ernst Kaffeerösterei was great as a filter (the espresso machine was repaired when we arrived.

First of all, I love to go to cafes in different places but out of all the places I’ve been, this hast to be the one with the best cake and most Awesome delicious baked goods! I loved the brownie, the carrot cake and the raspberry Schnecke, all just perfect. The coffee was good but somehow the americano I saw Someone order had virtually no crema. The mild foam is fine, our lovely briars needs just a little more training.
