The iconic café in Freiburg shines in new splendor—without losing any of its distinctive charm. The colors that have characterized it for many years have been deliberately revived, and familiar details have been lovingly restored. A special highlight is the historic display case from 1910, which was meticulously restored by hand and reintegrated in the in-house KRAMER carpentry workshop. Enlarged windows have created three spacious seating areas that create a warm, inviting atmosphere thanks to the natural light. Workflows have also been optimized: the new counter has been given a central location to improve both service and the overall effect of the space. The concept combines tradition and modernity, making every visit a stylish experience.

When refurbishing the café, the two primary objectives were to maintain its original flair, while embracing the necessary modernisation, and to optimise work processes that were previously distributed across two levels. The timeless and high-quality furniture has not been replaced, but rather painstakingly restored and perfectly combined with the new counters in a modern design – and now on just one level. We are delighted with the result.
