Break from shopping
Perfect Espresso, the perfect place for a short break from a shopping marathon. At Espresso Perfetto, you can stop on your way from the main shopping streets with all the major brands (Hohe Straße) and regain energy to continue shopping on the hipper shopping streets around Breite Straße/Ehrenstraße.
The strong aromatic Espresso is served with a glass of water, just like they do in Italy. And if your sweet tooth is yearning for a snack, Espresso Perfetto also has a nice choice of sweets - proper Italian Dolci. Most of the pastries are so sweet that I like to share them, because one bite is already more than enough.
If you're convinced, you can buy a coffee maker right there. They have a huge choice from affordable to professional. Or you can start by taking a bag of the delicious beans home to make your own perfect espresso.
Espresso Perfetto is especially nice in summer, when you can enjoy the sun at one of the tables outsides. Around lunch time, journalists from the nearby public broadcaster WDR are flocking to the cafe to get what is arguably the best espresso in town.
