kraweel Hamburg

St. Pauli’s Living Room

Marie-Louise from Hamburg

"Kraweel is a cozy, welcoming café in St. Pauli with great coffee, homemade treats, and a community vibe. Perfect for working, reading, or meeting friends."

Kraweel feels less like a café and more like a second living room, just with better coffee, great music, and a bookshelf full of magazines and literature waiting to be explored. Tucked into the lively Paul-Roosen-Straße, it’s the kind of place where people come to work, read, meet friends, or simply linger over a cup of herbal tea or a glass of wine.

The menu is simple and satisfying: freshly brewed coffee, hearty soups, homemade cakes, grilled croissants, and Focaccia. Breakfast stretches into the day, and in summer, the outdoor seating blends seamlessly into the buzzing St. Pauli street life.

But what makes Kraweel truly special is its heart. It’s a neighborhood hub—welcoming everyone, from study groups to families, from regulars to first-time visitors. There’s even a warm welcome for homeless people, because coffee tastes even better when shared.

Gängeviertel

Alternative cultural quarter

Gängeviertel is where I go to experience the alternative side of Hamburg. It's a hidden little treasure in the middle of the cold office blocks in the center.
