With postcard-perfect views for days, Marburg is the kind of place you spend your days strolling around the old town, browsing shop windows and stopping here and there to refuel on coffees, teas and snacks in between. We’ve made a list of the best cafés in town for when you need that break.

1. Die Pause

Die Pause café is a little gem, tucked away in the corner of a narrow alley in Marburg’s Oberstadt. The hippy-esque vibe is mixed with fresh and yummy food for breakfast, lunch and quick snacks. With a bit of luck, you can snatch one of the outdoor seats on a sunny day. Tables are scattered across several idyllic terraces on both sides of the steep staircase down to the Unterstadt.

2. Café Vetter

The old town café is an all-time favourite of Marburg’s café culture. For nearly 100 years, Café Vetter has served breakfast and what are arguably the best cakes and gateaux in town. Wicker chairs, tablecloths and lace curtains underline the rustic and traditional atmosphere. Sundays afternoons might be accompanied by live piano music.

Their Death-By-Chocolate cake might send you straight to chocolate heaven.

Coffees and teas are swapped for beers and cocktails later in the day.

6. Café Cappuccino

7. Café Rosenpark

If you enjoy the ambience of a Viennese coffee house, you don’t have to go much further than a few minutes north of the city centre. At café Rosenpark, you sip on a cup of coffee and indulge in divine baked goods inside, surrounded by marble floors and velvety seats, or on the sunlit terrace.
