Café Alex, Restaurant in Hamburg-Mitte, Germany
Café Alex is a dining venue in Hamburg-Mitte located opposite the Alster pavilion, welcoming guests in a space with tall glass walls. Seating spreads across several levels, from which diners can watch the activity along the water and the adjacent streets.
The establishment originated as part of a dining chain founded in the 1990s that quickly expanded across major German cities. Hamburg's location became a regular stop along the city's central waterway, where business life and tourism intersect.
The windows face the inner Alster basin and the surrounding merchant quarter, where office workers meet for breakfast and tourists stop for lunch. The name Alex is a shortened form that has become a familiar term in Hamburg for a relaxed coffeehouse setting.
The venue welcomes diners from Monday to Thursday starting at 8 AM until 1 AM and on Fridays and Saturdays until 2 AM. A table reservation for breakfast between 8 and 10 AM is recommended, after which open seats are assigned on a walk-in basis.
The venue serves warm meals around the clock every day of the week, a rarity in downtown Hamburg. Many guests arrive after theater visits or late meetings to dine in a quiet setting.
