Coffee Fellows – Coffee, Bagels, Breakfast

Located at 4 Place de Paris, in the Gare district of Luxembourg, Coffee Fellows – Café, Bagels, Breakfast is a must-visit for coffee, bagel, and snack lovers. This German-owned chain offers a modern cafeteria concept that combines fast food with a relaxing space, just steps from the central train station and tram stop.

The establishment is distinguished above all by its strategic location. Just steps from public transport, it attracts a diverse clientele: travelers in transit, students, remote workers, and local residents looking for a comfortable place to eat or relax. The spacious interior, bathed in natural light thanks to large bay windows, boasts a high ceiling that enhances the feeling of spaciousness. Customers have access to comfortable sofas and armchairs, as well as numerous power outlets, making it a popular spot for working or studying. In the summer, the outdoor terrace offers the opportunity to enjoy sunny days while observing the lively atmosphere of the square.

A varied menu including breakfast, brunch and snacks

Coffee Fellows’ culinary offering emphasizes diversity. Breakfast takes center stage, with a wide selection of pastries, freshly baked bagels, and hot beverages. The menu expands throughout the day with sandwiches, salads, bowls, and vegetarian or vegan options, making it a popular destination for both brunch and a quick lunch. Coffee lovers particularly appreciate the selection of specialty coffees, lattes macchiatos, cappuccinos, and seasonal creations.

On the drinks front, the selection goes far beyond the classic coffee: smoothies, freshly squeezed orange juice, teas, iced frappes, and even more original options like matcha lattes. The ability to customize your milk (oat, almond, lactose-free) is a welcome feature for customers with specific dietary needs. Pastries, such as cheesecakes, brownies, carrot cakes, and apple tarts, perfectly complement these beverages.

A popular workspace and convenient services

Coffee Fellows has built a solid reputation among restaurants and informal coworking spaces in Luxembourg City. Free Wi-Fi, plenty of power outlets, and a generally quiet atmosphere on weekday mornings attract a loyal clientele of mobile professionals. Since table service isn’t offered, customers order at the counter and pick up their food, a typical model for European cafeteria chains.

The establishment also offers a takeaway service, ideal for customers in a hurry who want to enjoy their meal elsewhere or on the train. Extended opening hours—7 a.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. on weekends, closing at 8 p.m.—make planning visits much easier, whether for a morning coffee or a late-night break.

Areas for improvement to consider

Despite its many strengths, Coffee Fellows has some weaknesses that should be brought to the attention of future customers. Several reviews mention staff who are sometimes distant, even unpleasant, especially during peak hours. Wait times can be considerably longer during rush hour, and some orders are subject to errors or slow service.

Price is another point of contention. Several customers consider the prices high compared to the quality offered, particularly for bagels costing around 8-9 euros or specialty drinks easily exceeding 5 euros. The value for money is therefore divisive, especially among a clientele accustomed to Luxembourgish standards.

The hygiene of the restrooms is also a recurring theme in negative reviews, with several customers reporting poorly maintained toilets on different occasions. Thermal comfort also leaves much to be desired: the establishment can be too hot in summer (the air conditioning seems inadequate) or too cold in winter near the entrances. The cleanliness of the terrace and the potential presence of flies during the summer months are also mentioned.

Finally, some customers complained about the overly prominent music selection or the high volume, which made it difficult to concentrate. Opinions on the quality of the pastries were mixed: while some found them excellent, others considered them mass-produced or too sweet.

A must-see in the Gare district, despite a few reservations.

Coffee Fellows remains a reliable choice in Luxembourg’s Gare district for anyone looking for a friendly space to enjoy a good coffee, a generous bagel , or simply relax in a laid-back atmosphere. Its central location, ample seating, and varied menu make it a versatile option, whether you’re a tourist, a resident, or a business traveler.

To fully enjoy the experience, it’s advisable to come outside of peak hours (early morning or late afternoon), opt for dining in to appreciate the ambiance, and order takeout if you’re short on time. Bearing in mind the few minor drawbacks mentioned, this cafeteria remains a solid option in Luxembourg’s fast-food and snack scene.
