Ständehausstraße 2-3, 30159 Hannover, Germany
Old time charm with fantastic cakes and THE best hot chocolate (Wiener Schokolade) it’s a must when you visit Hannover. Also does a lovely breakfast….
Hot chocolate is so tasty. Sitting area inside is traditional. Service is friendly. Good to sit and rest after walking awhile in the city.
Got cake and tea here. The cake is not the best, tea was like always, earl grey. The staff here however... either the place is severely understaffed it has a very poor staff distribution. We were there on July 29th, it was very busy and they only had 1 waitress really doing everything. They had 2 other guys helping around here and there but they didn't take orders or give checks. The woman, Maria, did everything and was running left and right. Cheers to her. There were 3 or 4 other waiters behind the cake stand. But nobody was ordering cake so they stood and chit chatted, not assisting with taking orders or making food. After half an hour we decided to pay at the front instead of waiting for the waitress (who was still running around doing everything), when we approached the register, we also brought our dirty plates and cups with to make it somewhat easier for the waitress, we were not welcomed, thanked or given any smiles. The waitresses took the dishes and were utterly rude. Especially the woman with brown hair and glasses. We asked if we could pay she barked at us "no, go pay at your table" with a mean look and then turned her back to us and continued gossiping with a colleague. We felt discomfort, unappreciated and treated horribly. The manager was there and didn't distribute the staff, instead he closed the inside of the Cafe and didn't assist. Hope this place pulls it together soon, for the sake of Maria and the guests.
The hot kakao and raspberry cake were delicious 😋. However, if you want to find a place to enjoy it to the fullest, this is not the right place because it was too crowded and the space was small, the tables were too tight to each other 🥲.
This place became a core memory. I still cannot forget how amazing this cocoa was. A true experience. Only downside is smoking is allowed outside unlike New York where not allowed in parks or outside restaurants.
