Super spot. Absolut mega Atmosphäre. Geiler Kaffee, guter Vibe, perfekt alleine, Freunde, Paare oder Familien mit Kindern. Alle sind einfach nur nett und hilfsbereit. Ein absolutes Geschenk für die Gemeinde. Ein toller Ort für Co-working. Es gibt sogar eine Stillekammer. Ein kleiner Raum der total isoliert ist, wenn man sich mal richtig konzentrieren will. Hatte ich vorher noch nie gesehen. Es gibt wöchentliche Events und man kann auch Räume buchen, für Tanzabende, Geburtstage, Workshops, live Musik, Konferenzen etc. Was auch immer man so will. Das Herz von Heidelberg Vielen Dank an Mathis, Johann und den Rest des Teams. Es macht immer Spaß bei euch. Bis die Tage. Jelly

Great place. Very friendly staff. You pay as much as you want/can for food and drinks and it’s such a heartwarming policy. They also have space for co-working. And a family room with plenty of toys, which is great for people with small kids (plus all the space outside). Definitely recommended. A little gem in Südstadt
