Wintergarten Café & Bar

Wintergarten Café & Bar sits comfortably along the Strandpromenade in Heringsdorf, offering a quiet retreat especially suited for those who want to soak in a sea view alongside their coffee or drink. Nestled on the upper floor of a hotel, its large windows frame the Baltic Sea, creating a setting that shifts with the weather—from cozy refuge on a grey winter day to a bright spot perfect for a sunny afternoon.

The café’s atmosphere leans toward relaxed and intimate, with a mix of comfy seating areas punctuated by greenery, giving it an almost garden-like feel indoors—befitting the name Wintergarten. This makes it a spot where locals and visitors alike might linger over Kuchen & Kaffee, using the time as a gentle pause rather than a quick pitstop. While the menu isn’t extensive, it covers classics like cakes (Birne Helene Torte, Himbeer Käse Sahne Torte, and Kirschstreusel among them) alongside easy light meals such as chicken breast salad or schnitzel. The emphasis is definitely on quality over quantity.

Drinks range from well-made cocktails like Mojitos and Aperol Spritz, to beer and wine selections including Störtebeker Bier and Roséwein. The bar aspect feels casual but well-curated, ideal for those easing into an evening with a view or capping off a day stroll along the beach. Affogato and specialty coffees add subtle variety for those craving a caffeine kick with a twist.

Price-wise, Wintergarten tends toward the upper end, so it’s a destination more for occasional treats than everyday coffee runs. The service tends to be polite though occasionally less enthusiastic, and visitors holding Kurkarten might find undisclosed discounts—better to ask up front. Overall, the vibe is undemanding but thoughtfully composed, appealing mostly to visitors appreciating a scenic seat and a peaceful setting rather than fast-paced socializing.

This is a café-bar hybrid that suits anyone wanting an easy-paced break with a view—whether locals stopping by for a late afternoon coffee or tourists settling in for a casual drink as the sun sets over the Ostsee.
