Coffee drinks, properly made
Espresso, flat whites, cortados and a long milky Milchkaffee in a bowl-sized cup. Our house blend is roasted 40 km away and ground to order.
Marktstraße · Est. in a corner shop
Coffee, tea and cake — two minutes from the Dom.
Food and Tea is the cosy corner café where shoppers drop their bags, visitors warm up after a tour of the Barockviertel, and locals stay for a second pot. No reservations, no fuss — just pull up a chair.

What's on
Three things we do very well
Nothing complicated. Good coffee, real tea and cake baked for the day — served by people who'll remember your order next week.
Tea by the pot
Loose leaf, never bags. Assam for the morning, Darjeeling in the afternoon, rooibos and lemon verbena for anyone avoiding caffeine.
Cake from the counter
Fourteen cakes on rotation: cheesecake, Pflaumenkuchen, carrot cake with cream cheese, and a Sachertorte that disappears by three.
Why locals stay for a second pot
A corner café built for lingering
We kept the old shop counter, added soft chairs, and put a plug socket under most tables. The rest took care of itself — the regulars moved in.
Bag-drop corner
A proper hook and shelf by every window seat, so the Marktstraße shopping doesn't have to sit on the floor.
Warm-up stop
After the Barockviertel tour, the radiator bench and a Kännchen of tea are the fastest way to get feeling back in your hands.
No reservations, no fuss
Walk in, find a chair, stay as long as you like. Refills on filter coffee are half price, always.
Dogs and prams welcome
Water bowl by the door, wide aisle down the middle, and a high chair that actually wipes clean.
Kind words
From the people at the window seats
“I came in to escape the rain and left ninety minutes later with a second pot and a new book recommendation from the barista.”
— Marieke, lives three streets away
“We walk over from the Dom every Sunday. The Pflaumenkuchen is the reason our kids agree to church.”
— Tobias & family, Altstadt
“Our group came down from Aarhus for the weekend. Proper flat whites and someone who spoke Danish — we went back twice.”
— Sofie, visiting from Denmark
Areas we serve
Who finds us, and from where
We're a corner café, so our "service area" is a walk, not a drive. Here's who tends to end up at our tables — including the steady stream of guests from Denmark who make Food and Tea their first stop.
Marktstraße & the shopping streets
Bag-drop corner by the window, prams welcome.
The Dom & cathedral square
Two minutes on foot — the closest pot of tea to the Dom.
Barockviertel
Where tour groups warm up afterwards with a Kännchen.
Altstadt offices & studios
Morning flat whites to take away, from 7:30.
Visitors from Denmark
Danish-speaking staff on Saturdays, and yes — we do hygge.
Neighbourhood regulars

Pull up a chair
Walk in whenever you like — or ask us to hold a corner table for a bigger group, a birthday Kaffeeklatsch or a quiet morning meeting.
