Literally everybody is welcome at the Neunerhaus Café! The food is mostly organic and vegetarian and gets prepared with great care and creativity by an excellent chef, while the coffee is made by a meticulous and friendly barista. Everything is donation based, so if you're well off, feel free to give a bit more to balance that others can't give that much.

Working on a pay-what-you-want basis, this coffee shop also offers lunch. Had a delicious carrot soup. It also doubles as social work-oriented centre, aiming to help homeless people and other persons in need. It's an admirable concept, and it doesn't matter whether one overpays or not. Your donation helps feeding someone who can't afford it. Thanks to the owner for explaining this and also the pleasant conversation.

Great people, great atmosphere, great coffee. You won’t see a lot of people dedicated to doing good. There aren’t heroes/heroines around anymore. Some don’t even know how they look like. Get a look and get inspired. Some people are pro-fusing with energy and many of us are left to wonder.
