01 The story, in three paragraphs

Why everyone keeps coming back.

Located conveniently along the A7 highway near Essel, Coffee Fellows - Kaffee, Bagels, Frühstück offers a delightful blend of café charm and restaurant-quality comfort, making it a perfect stop for travelers and locals craving fresh, flavorful meals and quality coffee. This café-restaurant hybrid specializes in sophisticated bagels and expertly crafted coffee drinks, catering to a variety of tastes with a menu that feels both familiar and exciting.

The cuisine here centers around fresh, vibrant ingredients with an emphasis on bagels that are anything but ordinary. The Avocado Bagel, a vegan favorite, bursts with creamy avocado, juicy tomatoes, cool cucumbers, savory hummus, peppery cress, and crisp salad—each bite a refreshing, energizing experience. For seafood lovers, the Lachs Bagel impresses with tender smoked salmon layered with velvety cream cheese, subtly sweet honey mustard cream, and crunchy salad, creating a rich interplay of flavors and textures. Meanwhile, the Pastrami Bagel offers a hearty, pepper-spiced delight that is as satisfying as it is bold.

This culinary offering is perfectly complemented by their coffee selection. Customers have praised the cappuccino here for its balance of mild yet robust flavors, a comforting pick-me-up that matches beautifully with a bagel or any other menu choice. The inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the air, promising warmth and indulgence in every cup.

Staff interactions consistently stand out—a recent guest marveled at the infectious joy of the staff, especially the cheerful cashier who brings enthusiasm to their role, creating an uplifting environment. The establishment is noted for its cleanliness and thoughtful touches, including a small, tidy playground area that appeals to families traveling through or locals stopping in for a break.

Customer service here feels deeply personalized. Whether it’s accommodating special requests or providing patient and warm assistance after a minor spill, the team demonstrates genuine care and professionalism. Such attentive service turns a simple coffee break into a memorable moment, enriching the overall dining experience.

Whether you are passing by on your journey along the A7 or seeking a cozy spot to start your day with a nourishing breakfast or a relaxing coffee break, Coffee Fellows stands out as a shining example of what a café-restaurant should be — expertly crafted food, heartwarming service, and a lively yet comfortable ambiance. It’s not just a stop; it’s a pleasure to return to, time and again.

Ich war an einem Sonntagnachmittag da. Die Mitarbeitenden waren sehr freundlich und sehr geduldig und lieb, als ich meinen Frappuccino im Eingangsbereich verteilt habe. Mir wurde geholfen. Vielen lieben Dank nochmal.

Wir suchen uns extra Raststätten aus an denen das Café von Coffee Fellows betrieben wird. Wir schätzen das Angebot und die Qualität der Lebensmittel sehr. Leider ist es sowohl auf dem Hin- als auch auf dem Heimweg dem Personal nicht gelungen den Bagel anständig zu erwärmen. Außen warm und innen eiskalt, schade.
