Welcome to CAFE Stopover, the charming café nestled in the heart of Aachen at Marienbongard 26. This delightful establishment is more than just a pit stop for your daily coffee; it’s a cozy retreat that attracts a vibrant crowd of students, locals, and visitors alike, all eager to unwind and savor the inviting atmosphere.

The ambience at CAFE Stopover is nothing short of enchanting. With its snug seating arrangements that encourage intimate conversations and the spirited hum of chatter, this cafe creates a warm and welcoming space. Whether you're curled up with a good book on the outdoor terrace or catching up with friends over a steaming cup of coffee, every corner invites a moment of relaxation.

Speaking of coffee, let’s talk about the heart of their menu. CAFE Stopover is celebrated for its rich and flavorful brews, often referred to as some of the best in town. One ecstatic customer described their Americano as "love at first sip," and it’s clear that the dedication to quality is a hallmark of this café. With a variety of options available, coffee aficionados will surely find their new favorite fix here. And don't skip out on their delicious food offerings! The red velvet pistachio cheesecake, mentioned in Jadirah's review, is a must-try, rich in flavor and perfectly complemented by fresh raspberries. For those looking for a lighter treat, the chocolate banana bread is equally praised for its taste and texture.

However, it’s not just about the food and drink; it's the people of CAFE Stopover that make the experience truly memorable. The staff here radiate warmth and kindness, often going above and beyond, such as serving coffee beyond closing hours to ease a customer's headache, as highlighted by another guest. This personal touch fosters a community spirit that keeps patrons returning, eager to partake in the café’s charm.

With the outside seating designed for lounging and reading, it's the perfect spot to soak in the sun with your favorite beverage. Just remember, if you visit in summer, the waffle special might be off the menu, as noted by Maura Puro, but don't let that stop you from enjoying the plethora of their other delights.

CAFE Stopover isn’t just a café; it's a haven for those seeking connection over a cup of coffee, a slice of cake, or just a moment to pause in their busy day. It's these genuine experiences, paired with high-quality offerings, that solidify its reputation in Aachen.

A very laid-back café and a hotspot for students in the heart of Aachen. It’s kinda small but super cozy. Really friendly staff, and omg, this red velvet pistachio cheesecake with raspberries was an absolute delight!

Super cute, outside seating is very nice and good for lounging in (reading with your coffee). I had the chocolate banana bread which was very good. For reference, they do not offer waffles in the summer!

All round brilliant experience. I was having a headache and wanted a coffee. Even though it was past closing time, the nice lady gave me a coffee. Probably the best Americano I've ever had. Might be slightly more expensive than other shops, but the quality is well worth it. Love at first sip is how I'd describe this coffee. Will be visiting again.

Just go and get a waffle. Way better than the over hyped waffle that I got in Belgium. Coffees are also good but I am no expert. The ambience is very cozy with friends outside. The staff is super kind.

Although it is quite a small place, it is definitely worth a visit. The coffee tastes amazing, the staff is super friendly, and there are plenty of vegan options for both food and drinks! As I said before, it is truly worth a visit. !!!BUT you can only pay with card, therefor only 4/5 Stars regarding the Service!!!
