In this almost iconic location, the coffee not only comes from a machine, but is brewed by hand. Breakfast, sweet or savoury, is offered until 3 p.m., a concession to late risers.

Lilienstraße 34, 81669 Munich, Germany

Colourful is the favourite colour here, Mary Weiss has made her little café a feel-good place. Of course, also with her coffee specialities, delicious bowls and perhaps the best Banana Bread in Munich.

Barerstraße 42, 80799 Munich, Germany

Cakes and cocktails. In the comfortably furnished café, both have their place and their fan base. The well-arranged breakfast is served into the afternoon, after which you move on to your post-work drink.

Steinheilstraße 20, 80333 Munich, Germany

Pastel shades dominate the interior, and the cake counter is filled with sweet treats to match. But the feel-good café also serves hearty dishes, always seasonal, regional and selected in organic quality.

Schleißheimer Str 13, 80333 Munich, Germany

High above Munich's rooftops, the homemade cakes taste just as good to locals as they do to tourists. From the early evening hours, regional and international restaurant dishes are served.

Marienplatz 28, 80331 Munich, Germany

A legendary classic on the Viktualienmarkt. The "good old days" triumph here, an endearing café with a nostalgic flair. The speciality is the homemade Schmalznudel, which alone is worth a visit.

Prälat-Zistl Str 8, 80331 Munich, Germany

Located right in the heart of Munich, you can sit on the roof terrace of the Deutsches Museum with the best view in good weather. From an extensive breakfast to an evening dinner, everything is possible here.

Museumsinsel 1, 80538 Munich, Germany

In the lovingly designed restaurant you can sit back and relax. There are plenty of breakfast classics here, as well as dishes with which the culinary start of the day can be extended in the best possible way.

Rosenheimer Straße 2, 81669 Munich, Germany

Long a Munich institution, the atmospheric café and restaurant is also a good address for the cultivated sparkling drink. Fine cuisine is served with it, and that, too, is a tradition.

Brienner Straße 11, 80333 Munich, Germany

Of course, chocolate plays first fiddle here. To bite into, to drink and to take away. In many different flavours, simply irresistible. Coffee specialities are also offered.

Viktualienmarkt 6, 80331 Munich, Germany

Morning, noon and evening. Breakfast, coffee and cakes are available throughout the day. Most of it is organic and made by selected producers. Vegetarian and vegan options are of course also included.

Gärtnerplatz 6, 80469 Munich, Germany

Breakfast, coffee, cake - and the famous aperitivo on Thursday. It feels like being in Italy here. When the bar is not being converted into a buffet, you can expect to spend some pleasant hours here.

Ickstattstraße 2, 80469 Munich, Germany

No longer a real insider tip, but rather a Munich institution. This breakfast and brunch mainstay (with homemade cake!) has been known for its warm staff and reasonable prices for more than three decades. Time simply seems to have stood still here.

Baaderstraße 47, 80469 Munich, Germany
Restaurants/Inns

Breakfast to brunch is available here all day, and everything revolves around pancakes. They come in many sweet or savoury varieties and ideas, all in the style of the American West Coast tradition.

Dachauer Straße 12, 80335 Munich, Germany

The living room atmosphere of the friendly location makes breakfast a "home game". French Kiss with croissant and coffee is just as popular as the Bavarian Breakfast with white sausage, pretzel and wheat beer.
