I love that scene from Shrek where Donkey tries to cheer up the grumpy ogre.

„We can stay up late, swapping manly stories and in the morning I'm making waffles!“

That works just as well after a girls’ night out and always makes me cheerful - waffles for breakfast!

Hot and buttery is exactly how André and his husband serve them at Café Helma.

Helma is a place for long, leisurely breakfasts, rotating lunch specials and homemade cakes paired with carefully selected teas in the afternoon. 

And if the night is young? A Yuzu-Prosecco and a cheese platter make for a perfect start.

We wouldn’t mind spending the whole day here in cozy Helma.

And the charming square in front of St. John’s Church, with the café’s outdoor tables on it, is anyhow one of the most beautyful spots in Munich.

100% Arabica - whole beans - roasted in Bavaria - that’s how Lucas, Pete and Emanuel sum up their approach to specialty coffee. 

But their concept goes a little deeper than that. The three friends from Schwabing have crafted a vision that extends beyond the beans themselves.

In their bright, minimalist Suuapinga cafés, now dotted across Munich’s most charming neighborhoods, expertly trained baristas serve up coffee with precision and care. 

But their passion doesn’t stop at the perfect cup, it flows seamlessly into a love for fresh, handmade pastries. 

And let’s be honest, that’s a combination we’ll never say no to.

Katrin, Flo, and Johannes run Sorry Johnny together. Katrin takes care of the guests, Flo mans the bar, and Johannes handles the kitchen.

Well, technically… because just as often, they switch roles, with each stepping in for the other.

Everything here flows effortlessly, hand in hand.

It’s clear at first glance - and taste, that these friends love being hosts.

That’s why this tiny café in Haidhausen isn’t just our top breakfast spot in Munich, but, above all, a place where you feel right at home - in the truest sense - with friends.
