Cafe Kult, in Schwetzingervorstadt in Mannheim, is a great place to go for a quick breakfast or just to sit, sip a delicious coffee and read the newspaper. They have a pretty extensive, yet dynamic lunch/dinner menu starting at 5,50, including all sorts of crepes and waffles.
My Saturday breakfast (yogurt and fresh fruit, 2 slices of toast and butter plus a cafe latte) set me back a mere 6. I managed a cozy sit on comfy window-side bench, having a 4-person table to myself, but only because I was there at 10.30 a.m. But once the place fills up, cozy becomes cramped. Like too many people in your living room. And if 2 or more persons light up a smoke, you'll be out of there quick. It gets smoky quickly.
The restaurant itself is small and although the tables are spaciously arranged, their bistro-sizes leave barely enough table-top room for 2 to dine. When two tables are put together for a party of 4 and you have to share your space, be prepared to have every word unwittingly heard.
Cafe Kult is open, I believe, from 9-22 during the weekday, 10-23 on the weekend, except Sunday (10-22).
