The coffee was really good! I also enjoyed the cozy atmosphere inside the shop. However, I wouldn't recommend the cakes. I ordered the Marmorkuchen and it was quite dry.

This place is amazing! Deserve five stars even more. I like the ambience of being here, especially with warm as well as friendly environment. Their staffs are super awesome, I visited this place twice and the second time was on the weekend, definitely you need to reserve a seat, otherwise you need to wait (but the staffs / manager are super solutive and friendly) The coffee is amazing, tried their americano and cappuccino with soya milk. They also have some options in cake or pastries. I bookmarked this place as one of my favorite places to hangout.

We were greeted with a glass of sparkling wine as they reopened after remodeling the space. Nice way to be welcomed. We had a quiche, a cake and a yoghurt with fruit. The quiche I found delicious, well rounded flavour profile with a teeny bit of spice. The cherry cake was good and the yoghurt a little to water-y, but that might have been the heat (30C in Hamburg). We were somewhat disappointing with the new remodel, as it's difficult to really understand the concept. Some elements are rather fancy, others belong more into a a hipster coffee shop and then there are bizarre photos. Helmut Schmidt smoking, which is fair enough, but also a photo of an ash tray. It is a none smoking Cafe. There is also really no connection to Die Zeit unfortunately.

I absolutely loved Zeit Café! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the upstairs area is perfect for relaxing with a book while enjoying a specialty coffee. It’s a peaceful little escape in Hamburg—highly recommended for anyone looking for a cozy, calm spot to unwind.
