Café Lozzi on Pestalozzistraße is more than just a normal (breakfast) café. Young authors regularly read their texts here, up-and-coming bands play their songs. In the adjoining room, which can be reached from the “living room” through a cupboard, the café also exhibits works of art on a monthly basis.
The Lozzi is the patchwork blanket among the cafés – the furnishings are deliberately thrown together. In addition to the casual atmosphere, the eclectic furnishing style contributes to the living room charm: there are, for example, dried plants or a huge horse figure standing on a wall shelf. The blue and red umbrellas decorated with golden ornaments in the outdoor area, on the other hand, are more likely to be expected in an Indian restaurant. A traditional still life depicting a vase of flowers hangs on the wall. Sometimes pop, sometimes indie, sometimes ambient plays in the background.
The thrown together vintage furniture goes well with the predominantly student clientele. In addition to wooden chairs that could use a new coat of paint, a large couch awaits visitors. Some of the small tables inside are so low that young customers can hardly avoid putting their plates on their laps, as they do on the shared sofa.
The interior is comfortably furnished. Even if it looks empty here right now, it can get pretty crowded in the evenings or at weekends.

What is there and how much does it cost?
At the weekend there is a vegetarian and vegan breakfast in Café Lozzi from ten o’clock. Due to the high demand, it can sometimes happen that the vegan croissants and pains au chocolat are sold out after less than two hours. There’s “Tofu Scramble” (9.20 euros) flavored with turmeric, which comes surprisingly close to real scrambled eggs. The “Middle Eastern Muesli” and the homemade “Sweet Berry Granola” with coconut yoghurt (6.50 euros each) are served in mason jars, as is the homemade iced tea (4.40 euros), which comes in lemon and mint, black tea and orange there. For the same price you can also get a homemade lemonade in the flavors elder-mint-lemon or rose-basil-lime.
New cake recipes are regularly tried out at Café Lozzi.

A piece of the homemade cake costs between 3.40 euros and 4.30 euros, depending on the type. We recommend the zucchini nut cake, which, despite its name, tastes mainly of chocolate. Every day – not just at the weekend – you can also get homemade rosemary fries, vegan quiche or a vegan salad plate at Lozzi. Due to the long opening hours, the café has the character of a bar in the evenings and therefore also offers a range of drinks.
Who do you meet here?
A couple and a young child are sitting on one side of the “living room”, on the other a group of young people, probably students. The clientele is diverse, but on average probably in their 20s. Due to the cultural offer there is a large regular clientele. And even if the consistently vegetarian-vegan food would suggest it, not only vegetarians come here, of course.
