restaurant
Impact Café
An indie café with a heart, this low-waste vegan spot imports
its own fairtrade coffee from Ethiopia and is involved in
plastic-recycling projects across East Africa. Sunny? Head for its
secret courtyard; otherwise, the window seats make a snug setting
for a bowl of turmeric porridge.
restaurant
Cafè Torè
A velvet sofa, feminist artwork and plants trailing from the
rafters set the scene for one of Agnesviertel’s best-loved cafés.
Homemade pesto, generously filled sandwiches and fresh herbal teas
keep a stream of hip locals coming in to work and chill throughout
the day.
