5 stars! This small and understated cafe most definitely lives up to the hype and ratings by others. The 2 owners were very friendly when i visited on 13th Jan. The coffee was absolutely delicious (i had 2 in the morning and 1 after lunch, as i was staying in a hotel 2 mins away). I had the croissant - it was crispy and light. Perfect with the coffee. I also had lunch there - Penne Arrabiata. Very delicious, penne was al dente (done to how i like it), the sauce was rich and flavourful. - Cannoli was the perfect end to the meal I highly recommend visiting this cafe if you are in Munich. It's just 1 stop from Munich Hbf (using the U1 line)

Cozy streetside cafe serving great Italian style coffees and delicious pastry + breakfast dishes. The staff and owner are passionate about what they do and it's a pleasure to be a customer there. Would come again any time for a cappuccino and a cornetto.

What a great spot! I had a croissant filled with pistachio cream. The croissant absolutely delicious and was still warm. The coffee was fantastic too. I usually go for “specialty” coffee - this was more traditional, Italian coffee. It was prepared excellently and very enjoyable. Definitely worth a visit

Lovely place, strongly recommended for lunch and breakfast. They make the absolute best cappuccinos and have a great selection of croissants. I also love their focaccia. The service is great and very friendly and they have a nice terrace where you can enjoy the sun.
