Stray Coffee

Stray Coffee Roasters is exactly the kind of place that makes Munich’s coffee scene worth celebrating. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a bright, unpretentious space centered around a long coffee bar where you can watch Ilan and Feldi work their magic. The light roast espresso here is exceptional—clean, bright, and full of nuance that you just don’t get from darker roasts. If you’re feeling adventurous, ask for the V60 pour-over; they’ll pull out a rotating single origin that tells a story about the farmer and the region.

Beyond the coffee, there’s a real commitment to ethics and transparency. They source directly, roast in-house, and even supply other cafés like Café Faber. The snacks are simple but solid—Franzbrötchen is a must-try if you’re in the mood for something local. It’s not a place for late-night lounging (they close at 5pm), but for a focused morning or afternoon coffee break, it’s hard to beat.
