My Sweet Stop at Dallmayr Café-Bistro

Located in the heart of Munich, Dallmayr Delicatessen is a renowned gourmet destination combining a delicatessen, bakery, bistro, and fine dining restaurant under one roof.

This impressive and beautifully laid-out gourmet grocery store offers an extensive selection of premium products — from artisanal breads, fresh fruits and vegetables, and high-quality meats and seafood to charcuterie, fine cheeses, specialty dairy products, and an exceptional variety of coffee and tea. As the word “gourmet” suggests, the prices are on the higher side, but the quality and presentation reflect the cost.

I visited the café bistro on a weekend. Though it was quite busy, the lines moved quickly, and I only waited around 10 minutes. The café is located on the second floor, featuring spacious, elegant, and timeless décor with a warm and inviting atmosphere. They offer both breakfast and lunch menus, along with an extensive selection of coffees and teas.

The staff were friendly, efficient, and spoke excellent English, which made the experience smooth and welcoming.

I ordered a cappuccino with oat milk and a chocolate Charlotte cake. The cappuccino was well balanced. The cake was beautifully presented, with a silky ganache topping and perfectly layered cream. Sweet, creamy, and indulgent, it was a treat worth savoring.

Kanso Coffee Lab: A Hidden Courtyard Gem for Coffee Enthusiasts

Kanso Coffee Lab is a specialty coffee shop tucked away in a charming courtyard near Max-Joseph-Platz—a true hidden gem. The indoor space, though small, is thoughtfully designed with a minimalist aesthetic that feels both modern and inviting. However, the real charm lies in the courtyard, where cozy seating invites you to relax and enjoy your coffee in a tranquil outdoor setting.

Kanso Coffee Lab opens its doors early at 8 a.m., allowing you to savor a cup of freshly brewed coffee before it gets busy—a perfect way to start your day on a peaceful note. The service at Kanso is warm and welcoming, with a friendly barista who takes pride in their craft.

During my visit, I ordered a flat white with oat milk, and it exceeded my expectations. It was expertly crafted with a velvety texture and rich flavor and arrived with stunning latte art that added an extra touch of beauty to the experience.

If you appreciate a well-made cup of coffee like me, Kanso Coffee Lab is a must-visit destination.
