Great coffee is catching on in Germany and I was elated to find a superb café in Blaubeuren.

This is a hipster coffee shop proudly brandishes its tastefully sourced, fair trade coffee. Fine, fine, fine – but does it taste good? Oh yes. Very, very good.
There was no flat white on the menu, but I requested one and the owner, with a nod, told me it would not be a problem. The café has a beautiful La Marzocco Strada machine (runs about $25,000) and although I’ve had more beautiful flat whites in terms of latte art, I’ve had few that tasted this good.
Good…of course taste is in the eyes of the beholder, but this was a dark, robust, chocolatey espresso that instantly made this café our base in Blaubeuren.
Of course the coffee was served in ceramic cups and there was beautiful indoor and outdoor seating available, including benches carved from wood. Prices were reasonable well, with a cappuccino running €2.60 and an espresso €1.30.
CONCLUSION
Four times in two days I enjoyed lovely coffee at Bad Haus in Blaubeuren. In addition to the natural and historic beauty of this part of Germany, the coffee is great as well.
This is part of my summer in Germany trip report.
Germany has always had great coffee, at least in my experience, in the supermarkets and in cafe culture. I still brew Jakobs Kronung at home here in the U.S. every morning, having first tasted it in Germany in the 80s.
But for espresso, I use Italian brands. Of course.
