Emmas Onkel

Emmas Onkel lies in the middle of the Kaßberg, the largest contiguous Wilhelminian and Art Nouveau quarter in Germany, on the corner of Weststraße and Ulmenstraße between magnificent period façades. The café owes its unmistakable character to an old wagon: in 2012, owner Mathias Weiß acquired a circus wagon, lovingly converted it and made it the mobile centerpiece of the concept, while the fixed café serves as a cozy winter quarters. This creates a creative, warm atmosphere that invites you to linger right away.

The reputation of Emmas Onkel is built above all on the homemade cakes and the imaginative ice-cream creations, which have a firm name in the quarter. The offering is small but fine, eco-conscious and with many vegan options, so families with children feel just as at home here as students and creatives from the neighborhood. Prices stay pleasantly low, and on sunny days the seats outside are the ideal place to watch the relaxed Kaßberg street life.

Anyone wanting to get to know the young, alternative Chemnitz is in the right place on the Kaßberg, and Emmas Onkel is one of its most lovable meeting points. Whether as an afternoon break over coffee and cake, as the destination of a walk through the historic streets or as a sociable spot for an ice cream with the family: the café combines a neighborhood feeling and creative lightness in an endearing way.
