And the live show was phenomenal. If you get the chance to see Busker Blues Singer HanZiF go for it.

I love this kind of "normal people" cafés. The cakes were simply amazing in taste. The only big problem is that they accept just cash. Fortunately i had enough... but I was lucky

Been coming here for many years. It’s a small place with classic decor and some outside seating. One of the best cakes in town made in house by the owner. It’s proper cakes that taste delicious :-) Have been here many times for cakes and coffee and never been disappointed. They also make a mean aperol spritz.

Spacious place and have a very traditional cafe/bar vibe. The owner is really nice and super kind, and there is fresh baked marble cake. I had the chocolate marble cake, delicious. Then out of the oven coconut and mandarine cake, absolutely amazing. The coffee is also pretty good. But remember only cask works here. So yeah come with cash. I didn’t have enough cash on me and he trusted me to come back tomorrow to pay. Really kind and a rare find in Munich.
