It's coffee time!

Spending a morning or afternoon in a café - there's nothing better. Here is a selection of our favorite places!

The sociable: Kaufmanns am Markt

People in front of the café

The perfect place to stop by for a coffee before or after the market and a popular meeting place for Wiesbaden residents! 

The high-quality beans are refined using a traditional roasting process, in which the temperature, roasting time, and degree of roasting are specially tailored to each variety. This allows each of the specialty coffees to develop its individual character to the fullest—the basis for the intense flavor of the espressos and filter coffees.

Tip: The roastery offers a barista and latte art course. (opens in a new tab) 

Address: Marktstraße 12


The French: L'Art sucrée

At L'Art sucré, things are done the old-fashioned way—in the best sense of the word. The sweet creations, from tartlets and macarons to raisin rolls, are handmade in the traditional way using timeless ingredients such as butter, eggs, cream, fruit, nuts, and homemade bean-to-bar chocolate. Everything is beautiful – the counter with its fine patisserie, the lovingly designed sales room, and the café that transports you to Paris in the blink of an eye. 

Address: Marktstraße 9


The classic: Café Maldaner

Café Maldaner was opened in 1859 by master baker Adam Maldaner. The traditional café began as a small coffee house and has developed over time into one of the most famous Viennese coffee houses in Germany.

One moment you're in the pedestrian zone in Wiesbaden, and the next, after passing through the wooden revolving door, you're transported back to the 19th century – thanks to the wooden counter with homemade cakes, tartlets, and pralines, the chandeliers, figurines, and waiters and waitresses in livery. Be sure to make a reservation, especially if you want to have breakfast there, for example before or after a visit to the market.  

Address: Marktstraße 34


The Portuguese: Lx. Café

The flowery one: drink&bloom

At "drink&bloom" in the Poets' Quarter, Vanessa Dyrda offers coffee specialties, drinks, croissants, fresh cakes, and cut flowers. She arranges the beautiful wildflower bouquets herself. Child-sized chairs await young guests on the terrace. They can help themselves to toys from the toy box or get creative with chalk. And as a special extra, there's a free "babyccino" made from light and airy frothed milk.

Address: Kleiststraße 2


The cozy: here & now
