Everything that comes to our table
Breakfast in the morning, cakes and tortes from our own pastry shop, coffee all day long — and space for your family celebration right on Hafenstraße.
What we offer
Six areas under one roof
From the first coffee in the morning to the cake ordered for Sunday: every area has its own page with all the details and times.
Breakfast
Filled rolls, eggs, jams and cold cuts — enjoyed by the window before the day really gets going.
Cakes and gateaux
The display case changes with the season. Whatever you see there was made in our own patisserie.
Coffee and drinks
Espresso, filter coffee, hot chocolate and tea, plus cold drinks for warm days by the harbour.
Patisserie
Our own bakery on site: doughs, creams and sponge bases are made here, not pulled from a freezer shelf.
Cakes to order
Birthday, christening, wedding: we'll talk through flavour, size and decoration with you.
Family celebrations
Coffee table for the whole family — we'll agree the schedule, cake selection and seating with you beforehand.
Hours
A day at Café Nordlicht
We open at 8:30 am Tuesday to Friday, 9:00 am on Saturdays and 10:00 am on Sundays. We're closed on Mondays — that's when the bakery prepares for the week ahead.

Baked on site
Sponge bases, creams and fillings are made in our bakery on Hafenstraße — in small batches, so the display case still has something to offer in the afternoon. What we don't make ourselves doesn't make it onto the plate.

Patisserie
Order cakes made to measure
We make custom cakes in three diameters: 18, 22 and 26 centimetres. Two-tier cakes are possible by arrangement, as they require a supporting structure and a firmer cream.
Every order needs seven days' notice — during this time we plan the sponge bases, filling and decoration, and source ingredients we don't always keep in stock, such as certain fruits.
Scroll table sideways
| Diameter | Suited for | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| 18 cm | A small gathering at home, a coffee table with just a few people | Compact designs, fine lettering only possible to a limited extent |
| 22 cm | Birthday or family coffee gathering of medium size | Our most popular size, good for fruit glazes and cream decoration |
| 26 cm | Larger celebration, christening party, anniversary | Needs a flat surface for transport, ideally in the footwell |
| Two-tier | Wedding or occasion with a big entrance | By arrangement only; we'll agree assembly and pickup time beforehand |
- Tell us the occasion and pick-up day — we'll check whether that day is still available at the bakery
- Choose a size: 18, 22 or 26 centimetres
- Let us know your preference for sponge and filling, for example sponge cake with cream or shortcrust with fruit
- Tell us about any intolerances in your household beforehand so we can tailor the filling accordingly
- Decide on wording or decoration — short texts work best in chocolate lettering
- Plan for a cool spot at home: cream cakes belong in the fridge until they're cut
