Konstanz Working Cafés #14: Backhaus Mahl

A new contender, in the brand new building off Sternenplatz. I don’t normally include bakeries in this series, but this one is unusual, as you’ll see!

Advantages:

  • Location. Right next to Sternenplatz bus stop, just outside the city centre. Easy to reach by foot or by bus.
  • Wifi and power sockets, the latter at pretty much every table. Amazing!
  • Food. Nothing fancy, but alongside the usual bakery fare of filled rolls and cake there are some very nice hearty brunch-style options, including omelettes and salads.
  • Spacious. There’s a deceptively large seating area at the back.
  • Open every day. Even Sundays!
  • Cheap and cheerful. Omelette and coffee for €8.05.
Disadvantages:
  • Ambience. Clean and bright, but unlovely, I’d say.
  • Kids. It's right opposite a secondary school, and at certain times of day it is full of teenagers.
Coffee here is decent, though nothing to write home about.

Price of a regular black coffee: €2.90 for a generous “normal”, with a small option for €2.

Overall rating: ☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️ (5/5). I’ll be back!
