Cafe & Restaurant Am Finkenherd

We arrived on a sunny saturday afternoon at around PM for coffee and hot chocolate and took one of the last empty tables on the terrace. None of the waiters found it necessary to give us a menu. After minutes we got one....The coffee was bad, too weak. Well before closing time they started to remove the chair cushions. We did not feel welcome.

I come here often for a reason, several actually: the staff is genuinely nice, the dishes are not that many, but those that they prepare are excellent, the coffee is amazing and the cheese cake the best.

Very atmospheric place. I don’t know how it is in the other seasons but in winter  it feels as if you are in a fairy-tale. We were there in the evening of of January and had a special bonus: listened to beautiful children's carols....This day and this place will stay in my heart forever.

Stopped off here for an after lunch treat and were delighted by the range of cakes available. Interesting options including buckwheat cheesecake, poppy seed cake as well as a good range of regular baked cheese cakes. The staff were friendly and helpful and I went...with the recommendation of an apple and almond cheese cake and was extremely satisfied by this juicy texture which was flavorsome unlike the Oetker package taste that many cafes roll out in such prime locations.As the weather was inclement we sat inside, what we would describe as a charming and cosy tearoom. My husband was more than satisfied with his meringue topped cheesecake I can concur with his judgment as I may have just had a nibble of his too. All told, a charming and friendly place, great service, good range of tea and coffee and always busy when we walked by.

Being rather a hot day we thought that tea might go down rather well and this looked just the right place. So a Darjeeling, Earl Grey and a couple of pastries. Tea was fine but frankly the pastries were dry and uninteresting, it might have...been the time for it was around and I guess that they had probably sat in the counter since morning. However that it is not our problem and perhaps they should either be stored better or not served. Anyhow it was not great. Cost for two teas and pastries.
