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.

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.

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.

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.

The "Golden Bar" in the Haus der Kunst has a lot to offer: lunch, coffee and cake in the afternoon, world-famous cocktail bar and restaurant in the evening. And all of this in imposing rooms with historical mosaics on the wall.

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.

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.
