A small Au-Haidhausen café that takes its breakfast and brunch more seriously than most Munich cafés do, in the mold of a neighbourhood room that figured out the locals wanted good eggs and a proper flat white at the same table. The menu stays tight — avocado on sourdough, a shakshuka, a granola bowl, a few savoury options — and the execution is careful enough to earn the regulars who keep the café full on weekends. Laptop-friendly during weekdays; a proper weekend brunch spot you should not try to work from.

The shakshuka or the avocado sourdough for a savoury anchor. Flat white as the standard milk drink. Weekends: the full brunch plate with eggs, salmon, and the morning bread basket. Granola bowl is a reliable option if you want something lighter.
Weekday mornings 9–11am are the best working window — the brunch rush has not started and you can claim a corner table for a laptop session. Weekend brunch runs 10am–2pm and the room is too social for productive work.
Balanstraße 68 in Au-Haidhausen, a quieter residential area east of the Isar. Small room, limited tables. Weekdays are laptop-friendly; weekends are emphatically not. Cards accepted. The café doesn't have a large specialty-coffee identity — the coffee is good but the food is why regulars keep coming back.
