I found a beautiful new cafe in my part of the city, Hannover *List*, called "Kaffee kann ich" (like them on Facebook here) and it's the sweetest place for breakfast, cake, coffee, tea - I really loved being there today for the first time in such a cozy space. Candles on the table, lovely music, great decor, I felt like I was in Hamburg or Berlin, which is good because Hannover so often has either the chain restaurants and cafes (which I find boring) or cafes that really are so hip and modern that you really don't feel that relaxed vibe.

We have only a few cafes in Hannover that fit my personal style or vibe or both (of course, I am wayyyyy more particular than the average person given my profession, so it wouldn't be fair of me to say that most cafes here are not nice - they are - but not always in my style), and Kaffee kann ich is just so, so nice and "me". I felt a connection the moment I approached the cafe.

I hope that if you are living in Hannover that you will visit them and give the owner, Steven, a lot of business because I want to see him become successful with his newly opened cafe. If he does well, he has big plans to open a second location, and this would be really quite lovely.

I want to see places like this not only succeed but grow and influence others to open more interesting cafes and shops in Hannover. We have some, but it's not a city like Amsterdam or London or even Copenhagen, we just do not have all of those lovely cafes like I wish we did. BUT what we have is still wonderful. We just need more. Complaining doesn't help though - only supporting these places with our blog posts, visits and through positivity can we make good things happen. :)

I think that, although I have a big espresso machine and stay in for coffee these days, that with Kaffee kann ich around the corner then perhaps I will put my Nespresso capsules aside and go enjoy the social experience and ambiance of Steven's cafe more regularly.
