Liesgen Café - A hidden gem in Krefeld
Nestled in the heart of Krefeld, Liesgen Café is a cozy haven for lovers of good coffee and homemade delights. Known for its warm, vintage-inspired ambiance, this café offers a carefully curated menu featuring freshly baked cakes, hearty breakfasts, and seasonal specials. Liesgen prides itself on using high-quality, locally-sourced ingredients to create its flavorful offerings. Whether you're stopping by for a leisurely brunch or a quick coffee break, the friendly atmosphere and charming details make it a place you'll want to revisit.
This charming café stands out for its excellent selection of homemade cakes, featuring a new creation every day. Personally, I can’t recommend their carrot cake enough—it’s easily one of my all-time favorites (sorry, Mum!). Cream cake enthusiasts will also be delighted by the variety of options available daily. And if you love their cakes as much as I do, you’ll be thrilled to know you can pre-order whole cakes for pick-up directly through their website.

Coffee lovers are well catered to here, with all the usual specialties alongside five unique local variations of filtered coffee. While not all of these variations are to my personal taste, I can’t help but admire the care and creativity that have gone into curating these options.
Overall, Liesgen does an excellent job of showcasing local artistry and ingredients while excelling at its core concept: serving exceptional coffee. For me, it’s a solid 8.5/10 and definitely a place I’ll revisit in the future.
