🔄 Note

With so many cafés in Munich, it’s possible that things change over time — new baristas, menu updates, or different roasts. We might not always be able to revisit every place right away, but we do our best to keep everything up to date.

We hope this guide helps you discover great coffee spots and enjoy exploring Munich’s specialty coffee scene as much as we do! ☕💛
