Villa Remeis - Bamberg

We stopped by for the view on our hike, and decided that the view could use some Kaffee und Kuchen. I ordered a pot of hot chocolate, and like most cafes here, it comes with full fat milk, not my favorite, but still tastes fine, just a tad bit rich for me. But the only complaint I had with the hot chocolate, is that it was lukewarm. My spouses Cappuccino was hot and good, large size cup. He ordered the Apfelkucken which looked good, no whipping cream on it, and it tasted good as well. Here their Apfel Kuchen are really that, more cake than pie with a cake bottom instead of a pie crust, which I happen to like better as cakes in general tend to be rather tasteless. I ordered the Rhabarber Baiser, which is a Rhubarb cake with meringue on top. A kind of strange rhubarb meringue pie, tho again with cake instead of pie crust. So while the view is fantastic, the servings, at least what we had were just so-so, and the service spanned the nice to totally ignore.

Nice place for coffee and cake. We went at 3 PM and were disappointed they were out of their special Remeis cake. Had another cake which seemed kind of dry. Anyway nice to sit there in an afternoon and enjoy the refreshments and the spectacular view

Rather upper class Backstube serving coffee and exquisite cakes, as well as other refreshments and food.The view across the city is sublime, it is quiet and rather exclusive.

We thought for the sake of our hike and decided that the intention could use some coffee and cake. I ordered a pot of hot chocolate and like most caffes.

Yes, the view of the city is excellent. So are those from several other hills. However, you can enjoy the view from several spots near the cafe. The view from the cafe itself is less awe inspiring. The Villa Remeis is rather small (35 seats according to their website). The menu offerings on our visit were rather limited, but we arrived an hour before closing time. It is open Tuesday through Sunday 12:00 to 18:00. The service is average. Perhaps the best reason to go there is that they employ and support the handicapped.
