Kien Café

The Kien Café at the Augustian museum uniquely combines culture and cuisine in the heart of Freiburg’s Old Town. Nestled within the historic architecture of the former monastery on Augustinerplatz, it has become a place that appeals equally to museum visitors and those strolling through the city center.

The focus is on a carefully curated culinary offering: in addition to specialty coffees and homemade cakes, the café also serves hearty snacks and a daily changing lunch menu. The menu is complemented by a selection of wines, beers, and non-alcoholic beverages.

The versatile ambiance is particularly appealing. Depending on your mood, you can take a seat in the light-filled café area, the historic cloister, the quiet inner courtyard, or the sunny outdoor area. This variety of spaces makes the Kien Café an ideal retreat—whether for a quick coffee break, a relaxed lunch, or a get-together with friends.

The café prioritizes accessibility and openness: it is fully accessible, can be visited without a museum ticket, and always offers vegetarian and vegan options.

Thanks to its combination of high-quality cuisine, cultural context, and unique atmosphere, the Kien Café is increasingly becoming a new hotspot on Freiburg’s café scene.
