My first visit to Brühwerk in Hamburg completely exceeded expectations. At first, the queue outside made me hesitate—but once inside, I quickly understood why people are happy to wait. The interior is tastefully modern—fresh and stylish, but not overdesigned. It has personality, but it doesn’t try too hard. The menu is simple and smart, with a few sweet options as well. I tried their pecan cookie, and honestly? I’m not even into cookies, but this one was next level. Rich, soft, flavorful—pure luxury. The real surprise for me was their seasonal matcha drink, which converted me into a matcha fan. Smooth, not too sweet, and just wonderfully balanced. The staff were friendly and easygoing, and we enjoyed sitting outside in the quiet garden area. The only downside? The batch brew coffee didn’t quite hit the same standard—it was fine, but not outstanding. Still, this place clearly puts care into quality, and the vibe reflects that. Highly recommended. The only thing I truly don’t understand is the opening hours – compared to cafés in major cities across Europe or the U.S., they feel unnecessarily short. Closing at 5 PM? That feels wild to me, but of course, that’s just my personal take.
