ONLY CASH!!!! Amazing place to have coffee and snacks. Really really good waffles with toppings, some classic German/Hamburg sandwiches. Also some drinks e.g. Aperolspritz/Beer etc. My go to place in Blankenese for looking at the Elbe and relax. There is a lighthouse right next to it, where you can also sit and lie in the sun
