Michaelis Kaffeehaus & Restaurant

The Michaelis ties in with a long Chemnitz coffeehouse tradition whose roots reach back to 1907, when the Michaelis confectionery and café were among the social focal points of the up-and-coming industrial city. After the old house disappeared, the name has come back to life today as a coffeehouse and restaurant on Düsseldorfer Platz. High rooms, soft light and a well-kept, unhurried atmosphere recall the Viennese model and invite you to take your time and idle away the afternoon.

The reputation of the house is built on its own confectionery. In the display case wait artfully decorated cakes, fine cream slices, seasonal pastries and homemade cakes, accompanied by carefully prepared coffee specialties from the melange to the cappuccino. At midday and in the evening, homely and international cuisine rounds out the offering, so the Michaelis is more than just a café. The moderate price level and the friendly, well-rehearsed service make the house a popular address for guests of all generations.

The central location near downtown and the city's large stages makes the Michaelis an ideal meeting point before or after a theater or concert visit, for a cozy chat over coffee and cake or as a stylish break on a city walk. Anyone who appreciates the tradition of the refined coffeehouse and would also like to taste a piece of living Chemnitz history is in the best hands here.
