Whenever you walk into this Café-Bar, you feel that you have been taken 100 years back back in history. So it comes with no surprise when you know that this place has opened in 1832. Yes, almost 200 years ago. This is another MUST-stop-at-café for me whenever I visit Heidelberg. Schaftheutle is located on the main street (Hauptstrasse) of the old town of the city. at half distance between BismarckPlatz and Rathouseplatz.
The place is divided in many sitting areas each has its own feeling and ambience. In mild weather you can sit in the garden (to the back) and enjoy the sun and the lush green surrounding.
Their cakes and sweets (which they make in their own bakery) are just superb. Service is friendly but tend to be slow when the place is crowded. Prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend this place for a break (snack, drink, coffee...) as you are touring the old town or shopping on the main street.
