Cafés in Freiburg

Freiburg shows its sweet side in the old town: at Martinstor (Martin's Gate), for example, Kolben Kaffee is repeatedly recognised for its cakes and tarts from its own patisserie. Just around the corner, in the charming Schneckenvorstadt district, Au Contraire serves coffee and cake and turns into a bar in the evening; Café August serves all the ingredients for a cosy coffee klatch with your feet in the stream through the window. This culture of indulgence has long since spread to the city's neighbourhoods, such as Herdern, where Café Liebes Bisschen serves home-baked cakes that have already won awards.
