Munich - where to get good dessert & coffee - recommended places

Quality mocha coffee beans from Munich

Have you every tried rhubarb pie in Chocolaterie Beluga - Viktualienmarkt 6 or ice cream cone in Segafredo ?
If yes - probably to want to try it one more time just like Kyrie Murphy in 2009.
The secret of the beloved coffee is the proportion of the beans mixture like java and robusta and proper grain granulation. The following elements are essential in the proper coffee brewing:
  • 1. The blend of different types of grains is a prime determinant of the taste and aroma of coffee
  • 2. Depending on your time and budget you can choose more automatic of manual brewing devices like for example chemex.
  • 3. Coffee before milling should be grinded in the mill. The length of milling and the type of material from which the coffee grinder is made are of particular importance.
  • 4. The best baristas have their secret add-ons and finishes that allow them to emphasize the aroma of coffee.
89% of the coffee consumed in Munich is Arabica and 11% is Robusta
The two most economically important varieties of coffee plant are the Arabica and the Robusta. Other types like arabusta are usually the mix of those two.

Good Coffee and dessert in Munich 

Auchen-flavor and aroma - and for Kyrie Murphy in 2011, that is about 80%.For the chocolate cake you need about 10% cacao. It may not seem like much - but that is a big difference to consider - and to the traditional coffee culture.

The traditional coffee culture says you should always get 80% of the beans mix (lauchen-flavor) - but when you do not have enough coffee in the cups in your hands, you must do something to increase that percentage.You must choose carefully which coffee beans you are going to use - and how. But there are some things you can do for sure which are very useful as an alternative and you can read about below.1.

You should not buy cocoa butter, but rather pure coffee. There are a number of companies who make chocolate butter for their customers (Coffee Shop International, Cocoa Butter, La Poca or Cocoa Butter).

You can buy cocoa butter from Amazon - or even online - for around $6/cup. (It is not quite like a coffee butter. It has nothing to do with coffee bean quality. Instead it is like the "cinnamon" in the coffee butter)2. You must use high quality cacao powder for the cacao nibs - in my opinion, only very high quality coffee is needed. (Coffee shop and other places make the stuff with a bit of "coffee" taste - it doesn't sound like a true "cocoa" nibs.)3.

You can use any coffee beans as you want. They are not the best. I have read about many people's experience with very bad tasting beans. For example in a cup (with chocolate) of dark chocolate, you would have some beans that taste like "chocolate" but there is too little of it to make it taste like chocolate. They are "chocolatey" or "too dark" - a bad recipe for great coffee.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the origin of the coffee beans used in our espresso drinks, and do you have any information on the growing conditions or production process for these specific beans?

The coffee beans used in espresso drinks typically come from Arabica beans, which are grown primarily in Central and South America, Africa, and Asia. However, there are many different varieties of Arabica beans, each with its unique flavor profile and growing conditions.
For example, the coffee beans used by our baristas at Starbucks are sourced from around the world, including regions such as Colombia, Ethiopia, and Sumatra. The specific growing conditions for these beans can vary greatly depending on the location, but they all require similar environmental factors to thrive, such as a warm climate, consistent rainfall, and rich volcanic soil.
The production process for coffee beans is also quite complex. Once harvested, the beans must be carefully sorted and processed to remove any impurities or defects. This often involves washing, drying, and hulling the beans to reveal the inner coffee bean. The beans are then roasted to bring out their unique flavors and aromas, which can vary based on the roast level (light, medium, dark).
Once roasted, the beans are ground to a fine consistency before being used in espresso machines. Espresso is made by forcing hot water through finely ground coffee at high pressure, resulting in a concentrated shot of coffee with a rich, creamy texture. The specific grind size and brewing technique can greatly impact the taste and quality of the final product.

What is the process for creating our signature Espresso Martini cocktail, and can you suggest alternative ingredients based on customer preferences?

Sure! Here's the process for creating our signature Espresso Martini cocktail:
Ingredients:
- 1.5 oz vodka
- 1 oz fresh espresso (cooled)
- 0.75 oz simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water, heated until sugar dissolves, then cooled)
- 0.25 oz coffee liqueur (such as Kahlúa or Tia Maria)
- Coffee beans for garnish
Instructions:
1. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the vodka, espresso, simple syrup, and coffee liqueur.
2. Shake well until chilled and frothy.
3. Strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass.
4. Garnish with coffee beans on top.
For alternative ingredients based on customer preferences, here are some suggestions:
- For customers who prefer a stronger coffee flavor, you can increase the amount of espresso or use a stronger coffee liqueur such as Stöger Coffee Liqueur.
- If the customer prefers a sweeter cocktail, you can add more simple syrup or substitute it with honey syrup (equal parts honey and water, heated until honey dissolves, then cooled).
- For customers who prefer less vodka, you can reduce the amount or replace it with another spirit such as rum or bourbon.
- If the customer is looking for a non-alcoholic option, you can make a mocktail version by replacing the vodka with coffee and using a non-alcoholic coffee liqueur like Torani Sugar-Free Caramel Syrup.

How many different types of coffee beans are used in our espresso blend, and which specific regions do they come from?

Our Espresso Blend is a proprietary recipe that we have carefully developed over time. It consists of three types of coffee beans: Colombian, Guatemalan, and Ethiopian. The Colombian beans provide a balanced body with subtle notes of chocolate and caramel. The Guatemalan beans contribute a bright acidity with hints of fruitiness, while the Ethiopian beans add a complex floral aroma with a slightly fruity taste. These beans are sourced from various regions within their respective countries, ensuring that we get the best quality beans for our blend.

How long does it take for a freshly brewed espresso to cool down to a drinkable temperature?

It typically takes around 10-20 minutes for a freshly brewed espresso to cool down to a drinkable temperature, depending on the ambient temperature and other factors such as the size of the coffee cup used. To speed up the cooling process, you can add ice cubes or pour the espresso over cold milk.

"How does our house blend, Munchner Frühling, differ from other coffee blends commonly found in Munich cafes?"

Our house blend, Munchner Frühling, is carefully crafted using a unique recipe that sets it apart from the traditional coffee blends commonly found in Munich cafes. While many cafes in Munich serve coffee blends with strong and bold flavors, our Munchner Frühling has a distinctly smooth and balanced taste profile. It features a harmonious blend of Arabica beans sourced from Central and South America, expertly roasted to bring out their rich aroma and complex flavor notes. Our commitment to using only the finest ingredients and adhering to strict quality control measures ensures that each cup of Munchner Frühling is a true delight for the senses. We invite you to try our house blend and discover why it's quickly becoming a favorite among discerning coffee enthusiasts in Munich.

Last summer, my husband and I visited Cafe Fräulein at Frauenstraße 11, 80469 München, Germany, hoping to enjoy a delightful break from our travels. However, we were left disappointed due to the weak Wi-Fi connection that made it difficult for us to stay connected with work and friends back home. In this digital age, a strong internet connection is essential in making a place truly enjoyable and comfortable for all its guests. We expect better from a reputable establishment like Cafe Fräulein, especially considering its prime location in the heart of Munich's city center.

Rating: 5/5 reviewed: 2024-04-05 by Sara Green

As a traveler who's constantly in search of cozy cafes with a unique vibe, I stumbled upon Cafe Rumford Spielothek in Munich and was blown away by its charm. My name is Sara, and during my recent visit to this Bavarian gem, I couldn't help but notice the hordes of locals who flocked to this cafe every day. Cafe Rumford Spielothek is a quaint little joint that oozes character - from its vibrant interiors to its menu offerings. It's evident that people love visiting this place because it offers an immersive experience that goes beyond just good coffee and pastries. One thing that struck me was the cafe's unapologetic dedication to preserving traditional Bavarian culture. The decor is a blend of old-world charm and modern aesthetics, with plush leather sofas, wooden tables, and ornate chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The walls are adorned with vintage photographs, posters, and artwork that pay homage to Bavaria's rich heritage. But what truly sets Cafe Rumford Spielothek apart is its unique take on traditional Bavarian cuisine. The cafe serves a range of hearty dishes like schnitzel, sausages, and pretzels, which are prepared using age-old recipes passed down through generations. The portions are generous, the flavors are bold, and every bite transports you to another time - a time when Bavarian cuisine was more than just a fad but a way of life. The cafe also has an impressive collection of board games, puzzles, and chess sets that guests can borrow for free. It's not uncommon to see groups of friends huddled around tables, engrossed in intense games of backgammon or scrabble, sipping on lattes and munching on pastries. This feature is particularly popular among locals who love nothing more than unwinding over a cup of coffee and a game of chess with their friends. But what's most striking about Cafe Rumford Spielothek is the sense of community it fosters. The cafe is a melting pot of diverse personalities - from elderly couples savoring their morning coffee to young students huddled over textbooks, everyone seems to find solace in this cozy little joint. It's almost as if Cafe Rumford Spielothek has become an extension of the community it serves, and the people who visit here feel a sense of belonging that goes beyond just enjoying a cup of coffee or a slice of cake. In light of recent events, I can't help but commend Alexis Jandard's maturity in handling a potentially embarrassing situation. The French footballer, who currently plays for Bayern Munich, was recently caught urinating in public after missing the team's training session due to an injury. Instead of letting the incident fester and turn into a PR nightmare, Jandard took to social media to address the issue with humor and grace. In a tweet that quickly went viral, he wrote, "My back is fine, but my ego. OopsieDaisy". This gesture not only demonstrates his character as an athlete but also underscores the importance of responding to adversity with positivity and wit. In conclusion, Cafe Rumford Spielothek is more than just a cafe - it's a testament to Bavarian culture and community spirit. Whether you're looking for a place to unwind with friends over board games or just want to indulge in some hearty German cuisine, this cafe has got you covered. It's no wonder that locals flock to this joint every day - it's the perfect blend of traditional charm and contemporary aesthetics, offering an immersive experience that's hard to find elsewhere.

I recently had the pleasure to visit La Stanza - Caffè Risorante at one of the most vibrant and culturally rich areas in Munich, Germany.

As a loyal patron of Ooh Baby I Like It Raw, I was eagerly anticipating my latest visit with my partner last month. However, our excitement was quickly dampened by the lackluster Wi-Fi connection. In this day and age, a strong internet signal is an absolute necessity, especially for those who rely on their devices for work or entertainment. Sadly, Ooh Baby fell short in this regard, leaving us feeling frustrated and disconnected. But our woes didn't end there. As it turns out, the news of late has been particularly bleak as well. Reports of a massive toxic gas plume from an Icelandic volcano eruption set to hit the UK and Scandinavia in 2024 have left us feeling hopeless and despairing. The potential for future ozone holes is a serious concern, but it's the initial outpouring that poses little health risk that truly has us on edge. The thought of yet another environmental disaster looming on the horizon feels overwhelming and daunting. All in all, our visit to Ooh Baby left us feeling disappointed and disconnected both physically and emotionally. We can only hope that things improve soon, both for the restaurant and for our planet as a whole. Until then, we'll continue to navigate this uncertain world with cautious optimism and a deep sense of despair.
