Café Gnosa

Top choice in Hamburg


With its abstract art and in-house bakery, Café Gnosa draws an affable gay and straight crowd in St Georg. The curved glass windows give it an art deco vibe. There are outside tables, and serving breakfast until 4pm daily is precisely the kind of understanding that Hamburg's nightlife deserves. It's always busy, and deservedly so.
