The beans you can get at Slokoffie are Arabica beans, which are harvested and dried in Honduras. You will be convinced by a caramel-chocolate taste with a slight lemonlike note.

Cross Coffee

Cross Coffee opened its doors in 2013. The beans, which are exclusively acquired from small farmer cooperatives or comparable entities, are freshly roasted away from traditional small-scale roasting techniques. By using a differentiated roasting method, the variety of flavors can unfold in the best possible way. Whether espresso, filter coffee, chocolate flavor or a fruity taste – coffee lovers will find what they are looking for at Cross Coffee.

Heimathaven

In what is supposedly Germany’s last existing colonial goods store, you’ll find Heimathaven in Bremen’s Viertel. The original store opened in 1874 and was run as a family business over the course of three generations until 2013. In 2017, Oldenburg based Heimathaven took over the location. Be sure to check out their handmade fruit spreads and caramel creams while you’re there. The creams and spreads are free of additives but are in turn highly addictive. Furthermore, you can browse through the extensive Bremen specialty coffee assortment.

Johann Jacobs Haus

Right in the city center of Bremen you will find the Johann Jacobs Haus with its own coffee roastery. Discover a range of coffee blends and delicacies and find your favorite coffee taste. Jacobs Coffee places special emphasis on the countries of origin, varieties, and preparation methods to provide a special coffee experience. Enjoy a freshly brewed espresso from the tap on site or just take some coffee home with you. You can choose between whole beans or ground coffee. You haven't had enough of coffee yet?
