Great little food shop at Hannover train station. I had the vegan falafel wrap and a chocolate banana bread. Both tasted really fresh and delicious. They also have a great selection of bowls, porridge and drinks. Might only be a small shop, but they are still offering a variety of great options. Price is ok.

Even after having burgers from nearby shop. Was feeling exhausted. Completely drained. The guy at Burger Shop suggested we have some coffee, but certainly not at Starbucks. But from the next shop. He said, it's real coffee. For sure, I wanted to try before boarding my next train. Got a large cappuccino. Certainly not disappointed. They also have a variety of porridges and many Vegan options. Healthy and filling I believe. Hafer bowls seem very tempting, but our tummies were full. The cashier didn't speak English, but that didn't stop her from being helpful. Truly enjoyed her hospitality and her Coffee.

The store is not surrounded by walls on all sides and only seats 6 people, so the prices are lower than the Starbucks next door, and there is no extra charge for milk replacer. The Cappuccino is really tasty. It is a nice cafe with freshly arranged flowers!

I ordered matcha and a the avocado sandwich, both were very delicious. The cashier couldn't speak in English but she understood me. There are only two tables where to sit, luckily there was one free.

One would never expect such a nice coffee in the train station! Although it may be a bit on the pricy range, the quality is simply worth the money:-) The milk is foamed very smoothly (very little observable bubbles) and silky with the natural sweetness broken down from the milk sugar. The coffee base is not too roasty, which gives the latte a very balance and cosy feeling. Love it!
