If you find yourself wandering the charming streets of Konstanz, make sure to carve out some time to visit Helga, a delightful café located at Hohenhausgasse 1. This cozy spot is a hidden gem where locals and travelers alike gather to enjoy a peaceful reprieve from the bustling city life.

Step inside Helga, and you'll be welcomed by an inviting atmosphere complete with warm lighting and tasteful decor that evokes a sense of comfort and relaxation. Customer reviews consistently highlight the friendly service here. Whether it's a warm smile from the staff, as noted by Jiri Kratochvil—who enjoys the café's friendly ambiance and good drinks—or the praise from Klaus for the pleasant, cozy atmosphere, it's clear that service with a smile is a priority at Helga.

Helga prides itself on offering a delightful selection of beverages. For tea aficionados, you’re in for a treat—Klaus mentions an impressive variety of extraordinary tea blends that are perfect for sipping as you unwind. Freshly squeezed juices are also on the menu, adding a refreshing touch to your visit. And let's not forget the café’s stellar coffee, which Tugba Mermer raves about, making this the ideal spot to fuel your day.

One of the must-try highlights is the renowned Zupfkuchen. As Dilara Yilmaz passionately shares, this cake is a real crown jewel of Helga’s offerings, and it’s not surprising that she hesitated to share such a precious secret fearing it might get sold out during her future visits. Its rich, creamy interior complemented by a chocolatey crust makes it an indulgent treat that you won't want to miss.

In summary, Helga is more than just a café; it's a community space where great food, exceptional service, and a relaxed atmosphere intersect. So, whether you’re indulging in a slice of Zupfkuchen, sipping on a unique tea, or simply enjoying casual conversations with friends, Helga promises an experience that delights all your senses.

Die Atmosphäre ist angenehm und gemütlich, die jungen Damen im Service freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Angebot ( wir waren zum Frühstücken da) ist richtig gut. Tolle Auswahl an sehr guten und aussergewöhnlichen Teesorten. Auch die frischen Säfte sind lecker.

Super leckerer Kuchen, nettes Personal. Längere Wartezeit, weil der Angestellte allein gewesen ist, aber es ging trotzdem verhältnismässig schnell und er hat auch nochmal entschuldigt beim Bezahlen. Super Preis-Leistungsverhältnis!

I promise you’ll find the most delicious Zupfkuchen at Helgas. To be totally honest, I was not sure if I want to leave a review because I’m really scared that I’ll go there one day and there won’t be any Zupfkuchen left but it would be unfair not to mention it since it’s literally the BEST! Apart from that, the service is really lovely and welcoming, nice atmosphere and delicious coffee! 10/10!
