Katie's Blue Cat

The rest of the menu holds up too, with focaccia and empanadas served alongside good espresso, and service that's consistently described as quick and kind. At 4.4 stars over 758 reviews and a 40-minute typical visit, it's a good stop for a slightly longer breakfast or brunch by the canal.

What people say

"Absolutely cute coffee spot at Maybachufer, with the best Carrot cake I have ever had and tasty glacing on top – good coffee choices, sweet and attentive service, warm interior and much pastry variety. Free tap water which is a big plus, despite the narrow interior and not too many seating possibilities, it can be quite crowded but if one is lucky, it’s a perfect spot for coffee dates, goûters and snacks. I loved the menu, tasty focaccias, sandwiches all along with fresh Banana bread, Cheesecake and Drizzled Lemon Cake. Big variety of scones which seemed a bit dry and not too fluffy nor sweet, but the café tends to reduce sugar which is great! I loved that at closure, food leftovers are not thrown but given to the remaining guests, this is not standard and very sustainable and thoughtful. Totally recommend this place, also for simple take-away coffee and goods!"
