This is the original Marzipan store, so I made a reservation and visited in the morning.
Since it was a weekday, there were plenty of seats.
The staff told me to sit anywhere, so I immediately sat down at an empty window seat and began browsing the menu.
It took a while to choose, but the staff member took my order with a smile and kindness, and brought me coffee and cake.
Thanks to them, I was able to enjoy a delicious in a pleasant atmosphere.
The famous nuss cake paired well with the coffee, and the pancakes I ordered as a second were also delicious.
After finishing, I took another cake to go.

Arrived around 11:40h for an early lunch. We found a nice table. During Christmas time they don’t take reservations for lunch or the afternoon. Coming early is therefore HIGHLY advised. There is self seating like in McDonalds, therefore atmosphere only 3*. Favorably noted the traditional uniforms of the waiters and waitresses, and the silverware.
As we were moving through our meal it became VERY busy with new guests moving around looking for empty tables. You need to look for a quiet corner to not being bothered. Service level dropped, taking longer and longer to get attention and be served / get table cleaned / get the bill. Staff was friendly, pleasant, patient, but lack this extra notch of efficiency to make it an excellent service. Pastry is beyond any doubt, menu has good bistro style choice. Only 4* because it’s lacking the extra little wow to make it excellent ( took the venison from the Christmas menu the quiche and a salmon sandwich). Coffee with marzipan liquor and roiboos tea with marzipan flavor were well appreciated.
We finished our visit with a tour of the museum which is not big, but well done and very insightful. On the way out you pass through the shop where you can by marzipan and cake for later, as souvenirs and gifts.
In our small party we agreed to definitively return at a less busy time. NB despite the huge amount out people passing through the restaurant, the restrooms were kept amazingly clean. Kudos to the cleaning lady.
Access wise, the Niederegger Haus is located in the old town. We parked outside the old town near the beautiful Radisson Blue Hotel. From there it’s a 10-15 minute walk, passing by the amazing Holsten Gate, Symbol of the city and present on the Niederegger logo.

Lovely Café
This café in Lübeck is a charming spot with a relaxing atmosphere and cosy décor. If you’re lucky, you might get a seat by the window, which is perfect for enjoying the beautiful view of Lübeck’s Rathaus while you relax with a drink or cake.
They offer a wide variety of cakes, and honestly, it’s hard to choose just one! I went for the peach passion fruit cake (Pfirsich-Maracuja-Torte), a club sandwich and a hot chocolate. The cake was fresh, light, and not too sweet — just right. The savoury food was fine but nothing too special, so unless you’re very hungry, I’d say skip it and focus on the desserts.
What really stood out to me was the hot chocolate — rich, creamy, and topped with real chocolate shavings. It’s a great choice for those who don’t want coffee or chocolate cake but still want a sweet treat.
Even on a weekday afternoon (around 1:30 pm), the café was quite busy, which shows how popular it is. Despite the rush, the staff were friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Lübeck!

Café Niederegger is a great place to stop when visiting Lübeck. It’s right on the main street and easy to find. The cakes are delicious. prices are a bit higher, but worth it.
You can enjoy coffee, buy gifts, and visit the small marzipan museum upstairs. A fun and tasty stop in the city.

Unbelievable selection of marzipan. Café was busy and a little chaotic. Not the best of service. The black forest tart was pretty good!

Nice cafe, main store of the popular German brand of marzipans. Not the cheapest, and products cost the same in a supermarket and that should not be the case. Long queue to pay. Nice selection of cakes to enjoy in the cafe, you select the one you want from the display, they give you a ticket and then when you order from the waiter they will bring the cake.

If you’re visiting Lübeck, a stop at Café Niederegger – Stammhaus is an absolute must, especially if you have a sweet tooth or a love for marzipan. This historic café, located in the heart of the city, is famous worldwide for its exquisite marzipan creations, and it truly lives up to its reputation.
The moment you step inside, you’re greeted by the delicious aroma of freshly baked pastries and a stunning display of marzipan treats in all shapes and sizes. From intricately shaped fruits and figures to classic marzipan bars covered in chocolate, it’s like walking into a candy lover’s dream. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with old-world charm and elegant décor that reflect the café’s long-standing history.
We decided to start with a slice of their legendary marzipan nut cake, and it was heavenly. The combination of rich marzipan, nuts, and a soft, moist cake layer was perfect — not overly sweet but full of that distinctive almond flavor that Niederegger is known for. Paired with a cup of their freshly brewed coffee, it was a delightful treat that left us wanting more.
The upstairs café offers a cozy place to sit and enjoy a variety of cakes, pastries, and, of course, more marzipan creations. The service was excellent — friendly, attentive, and eager to share the history of Niederegger, which has been crafting marzipan since 1806. We also took a quick visit to the Marzipan Museum on the second floor, where you can learn about the origins of marzipan, see life-sized marzipan figures, and get a glimpse of how these sweet treats are made.
Before leaving, we couldn’t resist picking up a few souvenirs from the shop on the ground floor. The beautifully packaged marzipan makes for a perfect gift, capturing a piece of Lübeck’s history and culinary tradition.
In summary, Café Niederegger – Stammhaus is more than just a café; it’s a Lübeck institution. Whether you’re a fan of marzipan or simply looking for a charming spot to enjoy coffee and cake, this café offers a unique experience that’s hard to find anywhere else. A true gem for anyone visiting Lübeck!

A must-visit for any Marzipan or sweet-tooth lover. I tried their famous marzipan cheesecake, which was a true delight – creamy, rich, and with that distinct marzipan flavour that Niederegger is renowned for.
Although a bit pricey for the small slice (around €6-8), the experience of enjoying a slice in this historic café is worth it. The elegant, traditional setting of the café, with its marzipan-filled displays, makes it a must-visit.
Be sure to check out the marzipan museum too (free of charge) one floor above, to learn more about what they are popular for.

Had some delightful marzipan pastries and coffee once we were able to get wait staff to take our order. It was an hour before closing so I am not sure how that impacts service. It was just dessert and coffee so not sure why it would. There is a small museum with information about the history marzipan. The marzipan sculptures were amazing and well worth seeing. It is free to shop and browse.

I have been there multiple times and find the cafe pretty chaotic. Recently, I just had to wait 25 minutes to get my receipt after asking the servers twice. The cakes are not to my liking as many of them contain relatively large amounts of marzipan, which I am not the biggest fan of (if you like it, you will likely be happy about the cakes, of which they have a large selection).
The cafe is nice and clean, but often busy, so keep that in mind.
