WhyNot Kaffee

This is the very definition of cosy, leaning fully into a quirky, almost whimsical aesthetic. The space is warmly lit, with (admittedly artificial) vines and roses climbing the walls and hanging from the ceiling. It won’t be to everyone’s taste, but if you enjoy a more playful, offbeat style, there’s a lot to appreciate. Small details, like handwritten notes tucked around the café and even in the bathroom, add to the sense of personality and care.

That same creativity carries over into the menu. There’s a long list of genuinely unique drinks, featuring flavours like taro and black sesame, often combined with coffee, tea, or seasonal staples like pumpkin spice. It’s the kind of place where experimentation is clearly encouraged, but the execution still feels thoughtful rather than gimmicky.

The food follows a similar East-meets-West approach, blending European café staples with Korean influences. While some options stay close to familiar territory—think avocado or salmon sandwiches—there are more distinctive dishes as well, like a tofu “scrambled egg” rice bowl with kimchi, which delivers a surprisingly cohesive and flavourful fusion.

Vegan options are well considered, with most drinks adaptable and a clearly labelled selection of plant-based dishes on the menu, even if extras like vegan whipped cream aren’t available. Drinks, in general, are a highlight, not just for their originality but also for the care in preparation and presentation.

Overall, it’s a characterful café that fully embraces its identity, offering a creative menu and a cosy, slightly eccentric atmosphere that will either charm you completely or not at all.
