Chichi in a good way. This concept-store-meets-florist-meets-cafe is so extensive it’s not easy to describe with just one term. Anyway, the small cafe in the shops right corner is a treat. Sois Blessed attracts fashion bloggers (win some lose some), hotshot lawyers during lunch meetings, guys shopping g for presents and wealthy mother-daughter combos, thanks to an intimate and very chic interior – as well as yummy little servings.

Named after local architect Robert Vorhoelzer, this cafe’s name is hard to remember. And the location is well hidden. But definitely worth a visit, especially if the weather conditions are optimistic. Located on the top floor of Munich’s Technical University (TU) smack in the Museum District, Vorhoelzer attracts a young academic crowd and may just well be the second best spot in town to enjoy your well deserved sundowner, if you want a view to go with it.

Independent coffee roaster, located right around the corner. These guys are coffee nerds in the best sense of the term. Supplied by some of the most prolific green (raw) coffee importers and farms around the world, Man vs. Machine focuses solely on specialty grade Arabica coffee (above 85 pts.). From heyish to sweet to fruity to chocolaty. From undrinkable to highly desirable. If you agree that coffee is a science and passion, look out for the alligator logo, when turning left onto Müllerstrasse.

You have not really witnessed the Glockenbach district, if you haven’t paid Aroma Cafe a visit. This place is probably the quarter’s ultimate meeting point, especially for breakfast – as Aroma serves superb coffee and homemade bread. Delicious, friendly and iconic.

If you’re looking for cool spot near Stachus for a snack, lunch, or coffee – look no further. Marc and Hubi run this place and they’re better connected than Telekom, so you might run into some interesting guests. They play tunes after 9pm on weekends too!

Ballabeni in the museum-district is a phenomenon. At Munich’s most notable ice cream parlor, people will gladly stand in line for the duration of an average TV sitcom, just to get their tongues on one of Ballabeni’s many innovative flavors. We suggest you take a number and get in line to find out what all the fuss is about. Or head deeper into Schwabing, where Bartu serves Munich’s only 100 % organic ice-cream. If all this organic stuff is way too fancy for you, visit Al Teatro (in walking distance from the hotel) for a good old fashioned goblet of spaghetti ice cream …
