“ The food is just divine and made with so much love and eye to detail. Eggs Benedict are my favourite. The coffee is pure art and has a chocolate flavour to it. The interior is old made new and has so much flair, you should go especially to have a look at that, too. ”
“ One of my favorite brunch place in Germany so far! Food: Great coffee + really delicious brunch dishes. Ambience: Very cosy with the beautiful kind of antique design of the interior Service: very friendly staffs. Food and coffee are served also with a good speed! Highly recommend! ”
“ One of my favourite cafes in Leipzig. The coffee was creamy and well made. The pancakes were amazing, very fluffy, the serving quite big and the shakshuka didn’t disappoint either! The ambience was cosy with a unique vintage design since it’s located in a former butcher shop. The staff was very friendly. All in all a great experience. Highly recommend! ”
“ 1 year later: wow what a change. Coffee is fantastic and the food is seriously great. The service changed too. Love it here! Thank you folks Nice bar for a great coffee. Just got my portion of sweet in the afternoon and was disappointed . The cinnamon roll "Franzbrötchen" was dry and burnt. They tried to cover it up in a ton of sugar and cinnamon, did not work. And the piece of caramel cheesecake was... Nothing. Maybe a good cake under the cheap caramel sauce but who knows. Man cheesecakes are not that hard, but this was not salty, not crunchy, or very cheesy... Try again please. I am so sorry guys your espresso is so great and delicious but the sweets are not up for the task. ”
“ Café Dankbar on Jahnallee in Leipzig is a charming spot with a unique atmosphere, housed in a beautifully restored former butcher shop. The coffee is exceptional, and the menu shines with fresh, regional ingredients—especially the dishes featuring their hearty sourdough bread, which were a real treat. The Jugendstil ceiling adds a special historic flair, and the staff is warm and welcoming. It can get a bit hectic during peak hours, and prices are slightly steep, but the quality makes up for it. Perfect for a cozy coffee break or light bite—highly recommend! ”
“ A café with a warm and inviting interior mood, carrying a touch of antique charm while maintaining a unique atmosphere. I visited quite late in the day, so I couldn’t try their brunch menu and settled for just coffee. It had a balanced strength and flavor, exactly the way I like it. I only wish I’d had more time to linger and savor it at a slower pace.. ”
“ I really liked the design of this café because it’s set in an old house. However, I didn’t like the rusty tables. While they might look authentic, it’s unpleasant to think that you could get cut on them. It also seems unlikely that they can be properly cleaned. I visited on a Sunday morning and had to wait for a table a bit. The coffee was decent, but there are places where it’s made better. The shakshuka was good. It’s a nice place, but with some drawbacks, so I’m giving it 4 stars. ”
