When moving to Düsseldorf I was immediately interested in the coffee scene and the different coffee shops around the area. To be a functioning human, I need my cup (or two or three) of coffee every morning and it tastes even better when I can have it from a local shop instead of my French press at home.
Düsseldorf certainly delivered when it comes to having an amazing variety of places to sit down and enjoy a fresh and delicious cup. After trying and rating as many coffee shops as possible, the places below stuck out as the best for me. From easily accessible English menus to a wide variety of specialty filtered coffees, these coffee shops are definitely worth a visit for your next caffeine and wifi fix.
TIP: If you’re looking for more of a coworking atmosphere, BEEHIVE Co-working also offers day passes and is centrally located in the city at Oststraße 10, 40211 Düsseldorf.
Here are some of the best coffee shops in Düsseldorf serving up killer cups of coffee and FREE wifi!
1 – Copenhagen Coffee Lab & Bakery
This coffee shop has minimalistic vibes with the scheme of the shop being wood and black – a beautiful interior that looks like it was taken right out of a Wayfair catalog. Copenhagen Coffee Lab has FREE wifi and a huge bakery selection. I tried the chocolate croissant and was not disappointed.
2 – The good Coffee
The good Coffee, located on Nordstrasse, is a great place for the whole family (plenty of stroller room) and you’ll find plenty of spots to get some work done. Their iced coffee and delicious savory and sweet treats are apparently the big sellers.
3 – Lina’s Coffee Brew Bar & Deli
For English speakers, Lina’s coffee is the perfect place to hang out. The food and coffee menu is entirely in English, which makes it easy to order without pulling out a translator or making educated guesses. The food menu has a wide range of breakfast options. I went for the avocado and gouda toast on walnut bread which felt fresh and healthy.
4 – TENTEN Coffee
TENTEN Coffee is located in the Japanese area of Düsseldorf close to the best ramen and sushi in the city. The shop has a great selection of tea and coffee, and delicious hot chocolate too. If you want a coffee shop that is open late, come to TENTEN! They are open until 22:00. They also have a book trade that largely consists of English books, so bring a book and leave a book!
5 – Covent Garden
Located in Bilk, if you are looking for a great coffee and brunch look no further than Covent Garden. They have delicious sandwiches, but I highly recommend the yogurt bowl filled with fresh fruits and honey. This is also a great some for English speakers as the staff and often the guests all speak English.
6 – WeirdSpace
Our once favourite work café was Manko which has now been taken over by WeirdSpace, a simple and yet elegant and trendy café chain. If you’re looking for a space with not only wifi but plenty of space for coworking, WeirdSpace in Friedrichstadt (on Hüttenstrasse) is the place to be.
7 – Rösterei VIER
The atmosphere of a coffee shop is extremely important and Rösterei VIER accomplishes the perfect coffee along with the best atmosphere. With a perfect view of the Old Town Hall, the shop is popular and has limited seating, but if you can snag a seat on the cozy couch, you’re in for a treat. The shop offers pastries as well as multiple types of filtered coffee that are bound to give you the caffeine jolt you need. There are also two other locations in Düsseldorf as well.
8 – Birdie & Co.
Birdie & Co. have friendly staff and relaxing music playing throughout the day. The shop offers plenty of healthy breakfast options as well as tea and smoothie options for the non-coffee drinkers out there. They now have 5 locations in Düsseldorf which means your options just went up.
9 – Cøffe
Located across from the Carlsplatz market Cøffe recommends that their guests try their coffee without any milk or sugar. I tried the batch brew and truly loved the flavor of the brew. The ambiance of this shop is a bonus as well. Since it’s a tiny space, working on a laptop might not be as comfortable as one of the other locations, but if you’re just intending on grabbing some wifi on your phone, then you’ll have no problems!
10 – Pure Coffee by KaffeeReich
Located in the Carlsplatz market (meaning also a small location, but great for wifi on the phone), Pure Pastry offers up their Pure Coffee by KaffeeReich and is the perfect spot for a high-quality cup of coffee on the go. Grab a cup from the small shop and then stroll through the eclectic market.
11 – Die Röstmeister
Delicious coffee on Belsenplatz in Oberkassel. The perfect place to people watch, catch up on work e-mails on your phone and enjoy one of their delicious blends of coffee.
12 – Woyton
Düsseldorf has 2 Woyton locations both filled with specialty-filtered coffee, but they also serve a great flat white. The coffee shop is always crowded with people catching up and is bustling with life. On top of their coffee selection, they also have a great assortment of teas.
13 – Restaurant Toulouse
A great insider tip recommended by a few of our local community members is the Restaurant Toulouse located inside the Holiday Inn Hotel on Toulouser Allee. Part of their open lobby is also an American diner-inspired restaurant. Here you’ll find homemade burgers, regional dishes, and a good cup of hot coffee too! Perfect for working as well.
