Ujote Espresso is my go-to weekend stop, the perfect break between the Isemarkt and Isebekkanal. It’s easy-going, a little street, and exactly the kind of spot where you always feel welcome. Friends meet here before heading off on their day, neighbors linger for a chat, and in summer, refreshing coffee creations make the warm mornings even better.
Flat White, Americano, hot chocolate, Espresso: simple, smooth, and always on point. Grab a buttery croissant, banana bread, or lemon cake, all baked with care. The street outside is relaxed, the perfect backdrop for slow sips and good conversations.
And the fresh flowers adding a pop of color? They come from next door at Das Kleine Grüne Zuhause. And if you need one more treat, Oehlers Eispatisserie is just around the corner, because good coffee and great ice cream belong together.
