The most beautiful cafés in Dortmund

"Make yourself at home" - what better way to be greeted in a café! Selvi and Ali, the owners of Café Rot in the Kaiserviertel, want to be there for everyone. And you can tell. If, for example, children scream or make a fuss, that's part of it. After all, their own children are often in the store too. This creates a very open and warm atmosphere, very relaxed and inviting. The café is very modern, open and comfortably furnished - perfect for studying or for a chat with friends in rainy weather. Everything is on offer, from breakfast and lunch to a beer after work. The vegan cinnamon buns are a dream - an absolute recommendation!

Anyone who likes Hamburg's Schanzenviertel district with its lovely neighborhood cafés will love the Kieztörtchen. Not only does it smell heavenly here, it even tastes divine. Selected products from the region, sustainable and homemade. We love the Scandinavian-inspired interior and the changing selection of sweet temptations. Oh yes, we also love going here for breakfast and simply taking the tartlets home with us for later. Delicious!

Grandma Rosa has just baked, and she has a lot for you! Whether creamy cheesecake or full-bodied chocolate, cake and tart fans of all kinds will get their money's worth here. You can also enjoy a decadent buffet with friends or family and eat to your heart's content until you leave Grandma rolling. The sweet decor and great coffee creations round off the visit perfectly.

In the heart of Dortmund's lively Kreuzviertel district lies a real insider tip for foodies and gourmets: This charming restaurant in the heart of the city has earned a well-deserved reputation for its first-class vegan cakes and super tasty bistro dishes. The hearty dishes are always accompanied by a subtle hint of garlic. Doppeltsolecker is super cozy and the ideal place for anyone looking for a retreat to chat and brunch with friends, work remotely and enjoy a tasty snack or indulgent cake. The inviting atmosphere, the cozy interior and the friendly and very courteous team invite you to relax and enjoy the food to the fullest. Our tip: The vegan or vegetarian English breakfast, no one has to miss out here 😍

The culinary offerings make you dream of a vacation. The many sweet dishes on the menu often have an Arabic touch. As is customary in Arab countries, tea also plays an important role in Tati's café. But there is also delicious Moroccan coffee, spiced with cinnamon sticks, star anise and cloves. It is boiled for hours and is therefore more soothing than stimulating. In Morocco, it is therefore drunk in the evening. The menu features fusions and creations from Arabic, German and Mediterranean cuisine, which form a wonderful symbiosis. The dishes tell stories and it quickly becomes clear that owner Assia loves to travel and visit restaurants - all of which is incorporated into the menu. And what's particularly great is that all dishes are available as vegan options. Even better: breakfast is available here at any time of day!

At Vrüh, breakfast is served all day long and the breakfast has it all. Fluffy pancakes and waffles, breakfast burritos and even burgers are just the beginning. Exciting, changing creations are regularly added to the already forbiddingly good menu and the best thing about it - Vrüh makes it all vegan 😍

Here you can feast your way through Europe. Homemade, delicate croissants meet pide and menemen. Whether French or Turkish, a delicious, home-made breakfast is guaranteed here. The cozy atmosphere and friendly service directly from the owners invite you to linger. It's also a great place to work, with plenty of space and internet!

Coffee is a top priority here. The Neue Schwarz has established itself as the spearhead of the Ruhr region when it comes to coffee. Selected farms from all over the world and our own careful roasting process ensure incomparable enjoyment and choice. Whether you prefer fruity raspberry notes or a chocolatey, full-bodied taste, there's the perfect bean for everyone here. Incidentally, you can also take them home with you - the stylish café in the middle of Saarlandstrasse sells its roasts and lots of equipment for home enjoyment.

Lotte is cozy and always good for a short break from shopping or for breakfast with friends. The lattes and cappuccinos are among the best in the city, and chai lovers will also get their money's worth. Due to the close seating, it's not unlikely to strike up a conversation with others - very simple and uncomplicated, just true "Lotte life".

The small coffee house on the corner of Liebigstrasse and Schillingstrasse has been open for you since June 2019 and has already become an integral part of the neighborhood. The delicious cakes and pastries make it very difficult to decide on just one piece - it can easily be two. But when it comes to coffee and tea, Mr. Liebig has many different roasts and varieties to choose from. It's worth trying them out!

Located directly on the iconic Möllerbrücke in Dortmund (in fact, neither Anne is the first name nor Möller the surname), you will find this cozy café with a living room feel. Comfortable furnishings and cozy armchairs meet delicious food and particularly exciting coffee creations that you won't find anywhere else. We can only recommend the sesame latte!

Here you will find a wonderful retreat to recharge your batteries. The spacious café, furnished with love and attention to detail, is utterly enchanting. From various breakfast options and hearty sandwiches to delicious cakes, cookies and tarts, the menu leaves nothing to be desired. Many of these delicacies are also available as vegan options.

If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and unwind with a coffee, you've come to the right place: the Mowwe café and restaurant is located in the Lanstrop nature reserve and offers the perfect balance to hectic city life. You'll find Mowwe on an old farm, surrounded by wide meadows, a paddock and a small wood - a lovely destination for winter walks and bike rides in warmer temperatures.

Enjoying a hot coffee and a delicious piece of cake after a long walk in the Bittermark - that sounds wonderful and Café Lemberg on Kirchhörder Straße invites you to do just that. Owner Janine Gregor opened her small, cozy café in July 2021, because until now there were only bakery chains in Kirchhörde where you could get coffee and cake - but no nice café.

BierCafé West has been around since 2018 and is the perfect destination for craft beer lovers! Nevertheless, coffee connoisseurs will of course also get their money's worth. They serve excellent coffee, cakes and freshly baked waffles. If you're in the mood for a hot meal, you can choose between delicious Turkish dishes and classics such as chips and currywurst.
