Stövchen - The hammer in the Waldstraße

While tarte flambée after tarte flambée is served in the evening and cocktails are diligently mixed in the laboratory, tomorrow you will mainly see the famous hammer breakfast - often in a double version, called the "Doppelhammer". The teapot in Waldstraße is already something of a cult!

When you see it on the table in front of you, you're amazed. For less than three euros, you can actually get two bread rolls, crispbread, sausage, cheese, butter, egg, jam, quark, fruit and something sweet. (e.g. a Knoppers) You would compromise on quality for the price, but you don't have to. It tastes good, and if you're sitting outside in the Stövchen's beautiful beer garden on a warm summer's day, it tastes even better :)

For the health-conscious, the Hammer breakfast is also available as a Fitness Hammer. A delicious combination of wholemeal rolls, crispbread, quark, honey, egg, fruit, yoghurt with sauce and nuts. Of course there is plenty of choice of coffee and tea. On certain days there is also cake.

And what about those who don't like much in the morning? For example, you can choose between muesli or a croissant (also with butter and jam).

There's something for every taste and every appetite and the prices are - as you'd expect from Stövchen - simply great.

The opening hours are good, with the doors opening daily at 09:00. The target audience is not those who feast here before work. Sometimes that's a bit of a shame.

The Stövchen offers a surprising amount of space. You might not realize it from the outside. The front area is rather small, but there is also a room at the back and the patio is not used. In summer, you can sit completely outside or use the covered terrace. In winter, the terrace becomes a conservatory so that not all the space outside is lost.

The teapot is cult for various reasons. People meet here to eat popcorn, drink whiskey, have cocktails mixed or watch Tatort with the others on Sunday evenings. It's a highlight in the city center. The whole Waldstraße is somehow cult.

HOW TO GET TO THE STÖVCHEN

Stövchen is located just before the end of the southern Waldstraße. This narrow street doesn't really offer many options. There is a little space for bicycles in front of the Stövchen. But you should have a stand for your bike. There is not much space for parking, the few spaces are always quickly taken and should also be reserved for local residents. But there are a few parking garages within walking distance. The Europaplatz/Postgalerie train station is also not very far away.
