There are two things I love - coffee and books. Preferably both together, perhaps topped by a delicious piece of cake or a tempting, freshly baked cinnamon bun. Luckily, I found the perfect spot - Kapitel Drei in beautiful Ottensen.
This cozy café is located on a quiet side street and offers everything a book lover's heart desires - lots of quiet corners and comfy armchairs, delicious snacks and drinks and, above all, a huge range of exciting books. You'll find everything from classics and fantasy to poetry and fiction, as well as a large selection of literature in the field of intersectional feminism or LGBTQIA+, all of it as both new and second-hand. Come by, grab an exciting book and enjoy a few quiet, cozy hours at Kapitel Drei. You can even reserve your favorite book for your next visit - and if the book enchants you so much that you can't wait to keep on reading, you also have the option of buying it.
