My second favourite coffee shop next to Marais. A must-go for the gateaux and cakes!
The second name of the shop is "fuck the backmischung". Backmischung means baking mix.

Josefa Café+Bar

Used to be a milk shop in the post-war times. The owner allowed for it to become a sweet little coffee shop, but he still lives behind a back door of the Café. Very sweet!

I love this laid-back biergarten. And get this: in biergartens, when sitting on a bench (not on chairs), you can bring your own food (salads, sausages, etc.), and you only need to buy the cold drinks!

Oh this is clearly one of the best spots for breakfast. Huge choice, very pretty and charming interior, you can also sit outside. Unfortunately, it is quite a way from my place, but worth it.

Very fresh, original Japanese food. The interior is not the most fancy one, but the chef (not his helpers) are Japanese, which really reflects in the best in town sushis. Rather cheap, too!

Münchner Oktoberfest
Just in case you did not find it yourself. ;)
Very nice and historical spot. Enter the English Garten from here or walk up the "Leopoldstraße", where you bypass the University and head for Schwabing, Munich's famous former artist district.

Weather is bad? If you like to take a swim in a really impressive historic environment, go here. It is over 100 years old and you can easily imagine women with full-body-swimsuits around 1900.

Pricey, but an absolute must see of Munich: the Viktualienmarkt is the best place to buy fresh, artisan, local food, vegetables, fruit or - in one of the most original Biergartens - beer.

Bread shop. Germans are proud of their bread. Try the "Krustenbrot" or "Weizenmischbrot" to understand why.
Mind the general shop opening times in Germany: typically 9 to 20h.
