My favorite café, what else can I say Although I’m not a big coffee fan, I still gave it a try, and I can confidently say you won’t find better coffee in Bonn. The desserts are great—even though I’m quite picky about them, I still thoroughly enjoyed a piece of brownie and a chai latte, which they prepare exceptionally well here. The food is surprisingly delicious, especially the cream soup. As for the atmosphere and staff, I’m simply at a loss for words. Everything is always so pleasant and comfortable. The service is pleasant and unobtrusive,the waiters are always smiling. The location is very convenient, and it’s a joy to sit outside. The interior is also beautiful, cozy, and welcoming. If I had to mention a downside, it would be that I’m clearly not the only one who loves this café. On busy days, especially weekends, finding a seat can be a challenge—but that just proves how much Bonn adores Camus. A perfect place to spend a sunny day, whether alone or with friends.

café is unique with its subtle homage to Nobel Prize winner Alfred Camus. The staff is very young. While the menu may be limited, each dish tastes spectacular. The cozy and artistically designed interior provides the perfect backdrop for enjoying your meal or simply unwinding with a cup of coffee. Coffee tastes very good. Loved the lemon water on the counter.

It's extremely rare that I can give a full five star rating across the board, but Camus is nothing short of special. One can make a very strong argument that this is the best espresso/coffee/latte in Bonn. The owners are friendly and the cakes on offer never disappoint. We are fortunate to have such a wonderful place here

For me, it's a fixed meeting point at every stop over in Bonn. Because of the special atmosphere. Laptop free. Self-service. Check the toilet upstairs ;-)

Nice Cafe in the Heart of the Altstadt. Was There for Sakura, cherry blossom. Fair pricing, good food and Coffee. It can BE a bit tricky to find the Toilette;)

Excellent coffee, service, and atmosphere. The cafe itself is in a great spot in Bonn's Altstadt. Beautifully decorated and with very nice staff. Seating is available both in and out when weather appropriate. We loved the coffee so much that we bought some beans to bring back home. Didn't get a chance to try the food, saving it for next time.
