"At the end of April a medical visit to Bad Homburg (not only kulinarisch) leads us so far unknown. Who is it surprising that the resort has inspired the playful writer Fjodor Dostojewski to the fictional “Roulettenburg” with the legendary charm of past times? After arrival, however, we do not feel like a double zero, but after a strong coffee. The central, car-free Flanier and Shoppigmeile Louisenstraße seems to be a good starting point. Between department stores, banks, cell phone shops, a gastronomic offer goes on to the other. Despite windy, cool weather, you can stand out. At first glance, the Hope Café convinces with a simple but welcoming design, bright colors, cozy furniture and an attractive range of coffee specialities. A bit reminds us of the recently discovered “Suedhang” in Tübingen, not so purist. At the Hope Café you sit very comfortably on deep, softly padded sofas or vintage chairs, with a colourful mix of small side tables, Bauhaus lamps, carpets, photographs on delicate pastel paint walls. Everything absolutely correct and very manually arranged. The situation must be very new, possibly only since the beginning of 2022? Ordered and paid in the vault, where you can also see the beautiful offer of homemade cakes and cakes and macarons and other confectionery. Unfortunately not my Gusto – but it's really good to see. Then in place. The team speaks English with each other, with the guests in any other language. The service is friendly, very accommodating, very eager. If I ask for the manufacturer of comfortable sofas, I will immediately receive information and the name of the supplier is written. Here it is important to be an independent, local, individual company and not a branch of a large chain. The coffee specialities from Brazilian beans are characterized by a hearty aroma. The Flat White (3.90 Euro) is served in heavy, thick-walled cups that last for a long time. The coffee makes wonderful awake, but not delicate. Well, maybe the cozy, bright ambience also ensures the necessary degree of relaxation. The toilets also convince with absolute cleanliness and cleanliness – like everything in this house. Some of the coffee table books and printing units are available for leafing and manufacturing. In good weather you can also sit outside the door, directly on the pedestrian zone. Many of the guests seem to take a break during their shopping tours or after a round in the Kurpark. Of course you come on foot or by bike. Whether there's parking nearby, I couldn't regret it. All in all, the hospitality, the warm service and the cosy ambience at the Hope Café have convinced me completely. If I lived here, I'd probably be over. A real light look between all countless, faceless starucks and coffee fellows. The slogan of the café is not for nothing: right from the heart. The operators are very successful!"
