About us
Café Amalie
We opened Café Amalie in Altstadt, Heidelberg because we wanted a place we'd actually want to go to ourselves: honest food, proper coffee, a room that feels good at any hour of the day. Everything that can be made in-house is, and what we can't make ourselves we source from people we know and trust. Come hungry, stay a while – that's the whole concept, really.
Testimonials
What our guests & customers say
„The breakfast alone is worth the trip, and the coffee is genuinely excellent. We've made this our Saturday ritual – the welcome is always warm.“

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to book a table?
Booking isn't required, but it's a good idea – especially on weekend evenings. You can reserve by phone or directly through our website.
Can I just walk in without a reservation?
Absolutely – we always keep space for walk-ins. At peak times there may be a short wait, which passes quickly with a drink at the bar.
Do you have options for allergies or vegetarians?
Yes – our menu includes vegetarian and vegan dishes, and many items can be adapted. Just tell us about any allergies or intolerances; our team knows exactly what goes into every dish.
What time does the kitchen close?
The kitchen takes orders until the stated last-order time; after that, the bar stays open for drinks. You'll find the current times on this page, or just give us a call.
