Lühmanns Teestube

I found this lovely little place by posting a question on the Yelp Hamburg page as I was looking for somewhere that did a high tea sort of spread in Germany.

We travelled for over an hour and it took a while to find the place but I was so glad we made the effort.

We arrived mid morning and as we were really hungry we got tea, breakfast and I had a scone. The breakfast itself was something I'm not used to simply because of the combination of food that we got. I did find it to be the norm in Germany though with slight variations, the plate had fruit, a warm hard boiled egg, some jam, fresh tomato and a very crunchy but yummy roll. We had English breakfast tea which was tasty. I'm not a cream person so I only had jam on my scone but it was nice.

The building itself was old and very old fashioned with lots of pictures of the queen. Had a very British feel and it was lovely. Staff although friendly were very hard to find when you wanted them and I had to go looking when I wanted to order scones and when I wanted to pay.

I will definitely go back next time I'm in Hamburg as we had a very enjoyable day.

Had I not had to chase staff it would have got 4 stars for sure and I would still recommend this place if you want something old fashioned with a bit of charm and an English feel.

The niciest coffee shop in Hamburg. Absolutely love it!


It's run and decorated with so much care and taste, that it's worth just to go and check it out. And if you'll only see these freshly baked pies, tall and brown, with apples, poppy seeds, blackberries, rhubarb, plums anything you can imagine (depends on the season of course), you know there's no escape! They all stand on the table to tease your gastro-imagination, there are plates and cutlery next to it, whipped cream too, if you want. Of course, white table cloth, beautifull china, classic furniture.


Let me tell you more about furniture: the whole place is like a living room of somebody's apartmet. There's wallpaper, paintings and drawings, tiffany lamps, wooden tables and chairs. It's intimate and warm, cosy and classy.


It's nice and welcoming atmosphere both in the evnings and at the daytime. There's a garden for warmer parts of the year. There is variety of teas and coffees to go with these fabulous pies. They also serve food. And I heard that sunday brunch is fantastic (that's what I'm gonna check next), just make sure you are early enough!

Luhmanns was a pleasant surprise. The tea house was very charming, it had an old world feel. They had a nice selection of teas and cakes. Top notch atmosphere and a very pleasant staff. This was a wonderful way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Pretty cosy and comfy in here - once you were lucky enough to catch a free table. Then you can enjoy yourself pretty well.
(Sadly advance bookings cannot be taken for Sundays as I was told a couple of times.)
There's plenty of British traditional food on offer like (tiny) scones, pies and all sorts of tea. Also quite a selection of home-made cake but be aware of the large slices, deary me!
But everything's lovely and definitely worth the visit.


It's a nicely decorated (sofa, candles, paintings, walls painted in green) tearoom that makes one feel at home straight away.
You can easily imagine three old British ladies sitting there gossiping away idlely and sipping their black tea.


Well especially now that it's getting autumn and dark outside, Lühmanns is a great place for an escape.
A possible walk around Blankenese and the water is a nice bonus as to the area.


As the previous folks said too though, staff are always oh so slow and prone to forget orders.
However they have as yet never forgotten about the bill
So bring plenty of time & patience (and maybe a good book) and you'll be perfectly happy.


I'd recommend it especially to anyone anglophile.

Sit-down service only.


I was early for an appointment and stopped in to get a latte macchiato to go. No paper cups = no coffee to go. :-( Too bad. I could imagine picking up a coffee and then strolling around in the park across the street afterwards.


Regardless, the place looks extremely cute and was seemingly full for the time of day and time of week. I will come back and try out the food.


UPDATE:


Had some time this week to relax at a cozy table and enjoy a cup of coffee with the fluffiest milk foam I've seen in a while. It's the end of winter and from where I'm sitting, there's a perfect view of the Antebellum Gossler House up on the hill. This is such a cute place. Antiques carefully selected give this place real charm and character and warmth. While enjoying the dusk and eavesdropping to whispered conversations in the next room, I made my next happy discovery: the best cheesecake this side of the Atlantic - moist, like those in the US, without being too heavy.
