Café Pausenbrot Frühstück on Rolandstraße offers a cozy corner for anyone looking to pause and enjoy a relaxed coffee break or light brunch. This small but welcoming café blends a casual vibe with attentive service, making it a natural spot for locals to drop by during their workday or weekend mornings.

The atmosphere is laid-back and easygoing, with a warm, inviting interior that encourages lingering over a cup of coffee or a quick catch-up with friends. The staff’s openness to accommodate special requests adds a personal touch that regulars appreciate, creating a familiar, comfortable setting rather than a rushed, commercial experience.

Visitors can expect a straightforward menu focused on quality staples like well-prepared Flat Whites and Cappuccinos, paired with fresh, handmade treats such as marble cake, waffles, and savory stulle. These offerings make it a practical choice for a nourishing lunch break or a casual brunch, especially for those who want something tasty without the wait, as meals are typically pre-made and gently reheated on order. The menu changes regularly, keeping the experience fresh while catering to a variety of tastes.

This café draws a mix of remote workers, locals on their lunch hour, and anyone in the neighborhood seeking a mid-morning or afternoon pick-me-up. It's not a place to come if you’re craving a wide array of sweets, but rather one to visit when you prefer balanced, nutritious options alongside excellent coffee.

Early to mid-mornings through early afternoons on weekdays tend to be ideal times for a quieter visit, especially if you want to enjoy a simple, unhurried meal or coffee ritual without the weekend crowds. The friendly atmosphere and the approachable, community-oriented vibe make Café Pausenbrot Frühstück feel like part of the fabric of the neighborhood, a spot to return to again and again.

What can you say? Simply great. The counter invites you to try a bit of everything. The two ladies behind the counter are incredibly warm and happy to accommodate any special requests. The selection changes regularly, so it never gets boring. We’ve been here many times and always love coming back!

Always nice to have a lunch break during work here. The food is already made and only needs heating so it goes fast. Very delicious and nutritious food options and good coffee. The staff is always nice and joyful.

Thank you Dyli app for making me discover this spot. It was just tasty! or as the German says “Einfach Lecker!” Perfect for a brunch (assuming you are not in the hunt for lot of sweet options). Still, I can recommend anything there.
