Stein Cafe: Your Cozy Corner for Breakfast and Treats in Leipzig

Located at Katharinenstraße 2, 04109 Leipzig, Stein Cafe stands out not just as a coffee shop but as an inviting destination for breakfast lovers, offering a delightful respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. Just a brief nine-minute stroll from the main train station, it’s a perfect stop whether you're just passing through or looking to linger a little longer.

Step inside to discover an atmosphere that blends warmth and charm, where friendly staff members greet you with a smile and attentive service. The interior boasts cozy seating, with options both inside and outside, making it an ideal venue for relaxing afternoons or lively breakfasts with friends.

Stein Cafe takes pride in its extensive menu, featuring everything from hearty breakfast buffets to indulgent hot chocolates. Regular patrons rave about the scrambled eggs with feta cheese and freshly baked bread, all at an affordable price under €15. One customer, Nadine Hahnau, shares her experience, saying, “Excellent cafe. Good spot. Good and huge hot chocolate. Big breakfast portions for decent prices.” It’s the perfect way to kick-start your day in Leipzig!

The cafe is especially famous for its decadent hot chocolate — a review from Sahar Ben, a happy customer, mentions, “The best chocolate drink (Coco) that I have ever tasted in my life. They have two types of Coco; please choose the dark one, it is crazy.” With such rave reviews, you can be certain to find comfort in every warm sip!

On weekends, the cafe serves breakfast until 12 PM, and as Jan Losinski notes, they even extend the time a bit for latecomers—such flexibility showcases their commitment to service. Whether you’re lingering over a rich cup of coffee or sampling their delightful breakfast options, it’s an environment where you can unwind and catch up with loved ones.

For those seeking an evening hangout, the atmosphere remains inviting. Favour Mofoluwawo describes it as “a chill atmosphere to hang out with friends,” noting that even a simple cup of Eisschokolade mit Sahne is a treat in itself. And if you have a sweet tooth, you’ll be enamored by Uma's mention of their “selfmade handcrafted sweets”, which are perfect for pampering yourself or enjoying with companions.

Don’t forget to explore the ice cream selection, which has left many satisfied with its generous portions and artistic presentation. One visitor captures the experience perfectly: “The portion of ice cream is very large and it was the best ice cream I ever had.” It’s this dedication to quality and customer experience that truly sets Stein Cafe apart.

In a city brimming with cafes, Stein Cafe shines brightly as an all-encompassing haven for breakfast, quality coffee, and sweet indulgences. Whether you're a local or a traveler, allow yourself to be swept up in its charm—you won’t regret it!

Very nice service and delicious breakfast buffet. The breakfast is provided until 12 on a Sunday. If you come late they even extend the time a bit and warn you in advance. As it's only 9 min away from the main station it's also a good option between hotel checkout and departure. Space for luggage is available.

It's a chill atmosphere to hang out with friends in the evening. I only got a cup of Eisschokolade mit Sahne, but I enjoyed it and the ambiance was great too.

This place is really great and it has very nice and helpful personel. I really like the ice cream sellection that is offered. The portion of ice cream is very large and it was the best ice cream i ever had. The ice cream is very nicely decorated and it makes you sad to start to eat .

The cafe is very centralised in market place. I read they have bad management or service but I had great service. The lady weals super friendly, as per my request, she did altered some items breakfast. Not a coffee drinker or fan so no idea how good a coffee must be. I just had some warm coffee to get awake. Prices are quite high. Altogether quite good place to have relaxed breakfast on weekend.

Nice staff… good quantity and quality…it was really a large portion of ice-cream and very filling too, had the rafello Becher and a piece of cake. Has a sitting area outside and also inside. Just in the middle of the city. Definitely recommend.
