Sunday Brunch - the Hype Is Real!!

Anyone making their way from Hamburg's Old Town to the Speicherstadt (Warehouse District) to discover the secret of truly good coffee along historical paths can stop off on Deichstraße. This is where the café has set up its headquarters.

A roasting machine and coffee sacks in the entrance area, a long counter where filter coffee slowly drips into glass containers, and a board in the background explaining brewing methods: The café is a paradise for coffee nerds and followers of the third-wave movement. And for anyone whose heart beats faster at the thought of pancakes, bowls, waffles, and avocado sandwiches.

Although the café spans two floors, Nord Coast Coffee is always packed, especially on weekends. And for good reason: The waffles come with such great accompaniments as homemade apple and basil compote or caramel sauce. Delicious sourdough bread is artfully topped for the sandwiches. And the bowls are available in sweet, savory, and even vegan and gluten-free versions.

You can feel it in every detail: the love for coffee, truly good food, and relaxed industrial style. That's why you'll want to linger for a flat white or some organic scrambled eggs. The Speicherstadt isn't going anywhere...
