Music, cocktails, chats – and laundry? Somehow, at Laundrette in Ottensen, it all fits together. This quirky space is a café, bar, and laundromat all rolled into one. Need to wash a load? Grab a beer while your clothes spin. Want to catch the latest Bundesliga match or dive into a Sunday Tatort viewing? Join the regulars debating plot twists and goals over pints.
The atmosphere is casual and fun, a bit rough around the edges but welcoming. The drinks menu leans creative, with cocktails that go beyond the standard. I once stumbled into the Laundrette just before Christmas and, to my surprise, found myself listening to a spontaneous choir performance: voices echoing softly between the hum of washing machines and the clinking of glasses.
It’s a place where the unexpected happens, where everyday routines blend with vibrant moments of culture and community. Whether you're there for the drinks, the spin cycle, or the conversation, Laundrette is always with a stop.
