I have been living in Hamburg for quite a while now. I like to be a free spirit in different cafes around the city, as I really enjoy a change of scenery while working. But I just have to say something about the Eppendorf location (Motherland). You rarely meet friendly staff here. Sure, the guys and gals here aren't rude - but they're not friendly either. The staff is usually rather awkward. If you just want a coffee from the portafilter and a piece of cake, alright, no problem. You can get that on every corner in Hamburg. But price-performance and flair? It's noisy (right next to the main street), you have poor to no service. The coffee really doesn't taste as good as at Elbgold, for example, and if you want a filter coffee 1.5 hours before closing time, you're looked at stupidly and fobbed off with an answer à la: It's no longer worth it. If you want a small selection of vegan brownies and are willing to pay 7.50 EUR or more for a small coffee, please feel free. But there are really nicer places with much nicer and more accommodating staff in Eppendorf/Eimsbüttel :)
