Neuhausen came first. Soon after Munich's founding in 1158, a farmstead belonging to one Rudolfus de Niwenhusen stood west of the city; work on Schloss Nymphenburg began only in 1664, and Nymphenburg became part of Munich in 1899.1 Today nobody can say exactly where one ends and the other begins.1

Munich's tourist office describes the typical resident as someone who enjoys the good things: coffee from small independent roasters, organic bread, a good glass of wine.1 Rotkreuzplatz is the center of a quarter that lies only two U-Bahn stops from the Hauptbahnhof.12

Local tip: Bavarian beer garden custom lets you bring your own food as long as you buy your drinks from the house; at the Hirschgarten, signs on the chestnut trees explain the rule.1

Coffee chains in Neuhausen & Nymphenburg

The Palmenhaus in the palace park

The Schlosscafé im Palmenhaus occupies a former greenhouse with a glass front facing the Nymphenburg palace garden, so the room is always full of light; there is a terrace for sunny days, and the menu runs from brunch to cakes.3 On its 2026/27 menu an espresso costs €3.70.4 It opens at 10:00 and is closed on Mondays.

A gondola on the canal behind the palace recalls the court's baroque festivities, and visitors can book a trip on it.1 The Botanical Garden next door holds 14,000 plant species.1

Ruffini and Rotkreuzplatz

In 1978 the members of the Ruffini collective set out to serve better, healthier food, and for many neighbors it is still a second living room.1 It has been self-managed for more than 40 years, now by 26 partners; breakfast runs until 12:00 on weekdays and 16:00 at weekends, and the wine shop sells over the bar until midnight.5

Mobile phones are banned in the café.3 The Sarcletti family sold homemade ice cream in Munich from 1879 and moved to Rotkreuzplatz in 1921.1 Today Sarcletti is open daily until 23:00.

Roasters on Donnersbergerstraße

SALLIS at Donnersbergerstraße 47 roasts in the traditional drum method, slowly, for a low-acid coffee, with its own roast profiles for each blend, and serves filled croissants and cake.6 It opens at 07:30 on weekdays.

Kolonial at number 39 has orange-and-white neon lettering in 1950s style.7 Espressothek on Romanstraße opens at 08:00 on weekdays, and Alps Coffee pours espresso on Pickelstraße.

NINE FINE at Hirschgartenallee 24 roasts its own coffee and serves breakfast.8 It sits by the Hirschgarten, open to the public since 1791, whose 8,000-seat beer garden is the largest in Bavaria.1

Volkartstraße and the side streets

Volkartstraße, between Rotkreuzplatz and Leonrodplatz, is the street residents name first: old buildings, courtyard gardens and a high density of cafés and restaurants.2 Om Nom Nom moved to Neuhausen from Sendling in January 2025, needing more space for its vegan cakes and dishes; it takes cards only.5

Seppl's on Klugstraße opens at 06:30 every day, among the earliest starts in the quarter, and Tikal Cafe Bistro on Donnersbergerstraße at 07:30. GUTA on Schulstraße stays open until 02:00. The Taxisgarten, one of the quarter's favorite beer gardens, opened in 1924.7
