Cafe Waldi

Leipzig


Despite its great-grandma's-living-room look – complete with big sofas, cuckoo clocks and mounted antlers – Waldi is an up-to-the-minute hang-out, where you can eat breakfast until 4pm, fuel up on coffee and a light meal, or nurse cocktails and pints until the wee hours. On weekends, DJs rock the upstairs area with house, indie and hip-hop.
