"Mint green, flowery wallpapers, wooden furniture and affectionate details - Gretchen’s Villa is a very comfy, warm place where it always smells like coffee and fresh croissants. Whether for breakfast, lunch or coffee time – rarely there are any available seats right away. However it’s worth coming by to try; you might be lucky to get some homemade cookies, cakes or small dishes like pasta or salads. Whoever finds at table to sit wouldn’t want to leave so soon. Right next to Gretchen’s Villa owner Stefanie has opened her confectionery "Gretchen's Zuckerbude", where you can buy yummie pastries, jam, jewellery or other delicacies." - Cobblestone

We went here for some late breakfast and it did not disappoint! The omelette dish was really good, the scrambled eggs were perfectly seasoned. The cheese and sauce on top of it makes it complete! Also their homemade fruit salad is very yummy. Their drinks are good too. The price quality is excellent as we paid less than 30 euro for two meals and drinks. It’s also located in a very hip location :)

perhaps I was a bit too late, but the choice of the cakes was pretty poor. my cappuccino was okay, very milky in my taste. desserts could be a little cheaper. the girls, who are working there, has nothing on their clothes to definitely say yes, it is a personnel. so it was a bit strange to be involved in conversation by some random person until I understood she works here. so there is a place to grow, but this is a relatively good cafe.

I love coming here every time I’m in Hamburg. The Eggs with tomato, onion, and bacon on sourdough bread was very good. And a large portion that easily could be shared. Also very tasty are the waffles, which I opted for the classic Nutella and banana. The chai latte w/ oat milk also was very good (was warm even though served in a tall glass). Fair prices.

I had this on my list of places I wanted to eat at while in Hamburg, and I am so glad I got to go here ❤️ It is so cozy, very relaxing atmosphere and friendly service, and the cakes and warm drinks were very good as well. On the window it says they only accept card as payment, which was very nice for us visitors! Definitely recommend!

We got an iced coffee with ice cream and a homemade lemonade. It tasted very good, however, the iced coffee lurk warm and should have been colder. Otherwise, a nice and comfy place to sit down for a quick break.

A nice little cafe with really good breakfast. Like most of places we’ve been to in Hamburg, the don’t have English menu. The breakfasts in below pictures costs about 7 and 10EUR.

Quaint little spot. Perfect for a latte and a cake. Very good spot to sit and relax. Nice selection of baked goods and coffee is not too strong. There is a WC in the back which was very clean.

Ich war mit meiner Schwester & Mutter am Samstag hier frühstücken. Aufgrund frühzeitiger Reservierung haben wir einen richtig schönen Tisch am Fenster bekommen (im Gretchens Lädchen). Unsere Bedienungen waren wider aller Befürchtungen super freundlich und richtig süß. Da kann ich mich den Erfahrungen anderer Yelper hier glücklicherweise nicht anschließen. Jetzt zum Essen: Tolle Auswahl an Frühstücksoptionen! Meine Wahl bestand aus 2 Scheiben Vollkornbrot, 1 Körnerbrötchen, 2 Scheiben Putenbrust, 2 Scheiben Serrano Schinken, 2 kleine Scheiben Salami, Frischkäse, Butter, süßer Senf, Apfel-Zimt Marmelade, Bananenquark mit Müsli und Obst und eine gute und vielseitige Portion Gemüse. Das alles für 7,90€ Richtig super! Dazu habe ich noch für 3,90 Rührei mit Tomaten und Schnittlauch bestellt. War super gemacht, schön locker und nicht zu fettig, aber für meinen Geschmack etwas zu lasch. Salz- & Pfeffermühlen stehen aber auf den Tischen. Fazit: absolut empfehlenswert! Die Liebe zum Detail zeigt sich nicht nur an der tollen Einrichtung im Vintage-Stil, sondern auch an der Zusammenstellung der Mahlzeiten. Kommen gerne wieder!

Nice interior and friendly staff! Unfortunately, they ran out of croissants only 1.5 hours after the opening.

Would love to give them a higher rating but the carrot quiche that we had was TERRIBLE. I have no doubt that because we were the Americans we were subjected to what we were told was "the last of the quiche" and "the only quiche available" was the carrot quiche. The gentleman ahead of us had ham and the 4 people that came in after us also were given the option of ham, of course they took ham. Awful, awful, awful

This place had bags of potential when it first opened but now it is absolutely spot on. Friendly people and great waffles and icecream!

This is probably the best place for tasty food and amazing cakes in the world! You really need to try the hot cocoa!
