KiezKantine Neuhausen, Munich

By Kenny Mah and CK Lim


Coffee is borne by belief.

This sweet little café is run by the husband and wife team of Klaus and Lena Hierer. The bright and simple décor is especially welcoming when coming in from the summer showers outside. The brunch-style food by Lena is straightforward, fresh and delicious — from panini to pancakes, all made to order.

Klaus mans the front of house, and it’s great fun chatting with a fellow coffee geek, especially one as exuberant as this young German. The way his eyes light up as we discuss different brewing methods is infectious. Thanks to him, we discover where to finally get a Karlsbader Kanne (at his beans supplier, Supremo — but more on this in a later post).

Munich is a haven for good beer and when the locals drink coffee, it tends to be classic Italian espressos. Who knew there would be such a small yet dynamic community of specialty coffee lovers like Klaus paving the way for better brews though? Bravo!

這是一家夫妻檔的咖啡館。
老闆在前面泡咖啡,老闆娘則在廚房忙著為客人烹調美食。
小巧的店面簡潔明亮,以木質家具和白色為基調,
再加上一面藍色的景墻,就構成了一家舒適的咖啡館。
原以為這是一家以食物為主打的餐館,
可是喝了老闆的卡布和手沖咖啡后,就讓我們完全改觀了,
這的咖啡一點都不比食物來得遜色呢。

趁著人客還不多,好奇的我們便和老闆聊了起來。
原本有些腼腆害臊的老闆,
談起咖啡時眼神一亮,像變了一個人似得,
除了和我們分享德國的咖啡文化,自己的學習過程外,
還大方的透露了豆子的供應商,
并告訴我們除了烘焙豆子外,供應商的烘焙室那也設有咖啡館,
而且還會用卡爾斯巴德壺來泡咖啡,我們有空的話可以去試試。
我打聽了好久的卡爾斯巴德壺,終於在有了消息。
而我們的慕尼黑之行也因此又多泡了一家好咖啡館,
老闆真是一位大好人啊。

緣分咧,如果當時找老闆講話,回來的行李就少了一個Karlsbader Kanne 的壺,也錯過一杯好咖啡。我等你們泡咖啡給我咧~

love the first and last photos … the first one with the contrast of the blue walls and the red flowers, and the last one with the cutie dog 😀

oh, the pancakes look delicious too … thick and home-made, with big berries on top! 😀
