Weird Space Café Friedrichstadt

Drip, espresso and pourover on a rotating set of European roasts, poured in a white minimal room with one long table down the middle: that is Weird Space Café Friedrichstadt, one of the brand's two Düsseldorf rooms alongside Unterbilk.

Rotating roasts, drip and pourover

The coffee is the anchor. The bar runs drip coffee, espresso-based drinks and pourovers, with the roasts changing and beans coming from a range of European roasters rather than a single house supply. That keeps the board moving and makes the pourover the most interesting order on any given week.

Weird Space also roasts under its own name for retail, selling a 500g house espresso to take home, and runs workshops and collaboration products around the same coffee. Chai latte is the named order for anyone skipping coffee. The overall register is casual and modern, with the counter doing the talking rather than a long menu.

A bright room built for long stays

The Friedrichstadt room is calm and bright rather than a takeaway hatch, with an all-white minimal interior and enough daylight that it reads as airy even when full. The work side is not an afterthought: this is a cafe and coworking space in the same footprint, with Wi-Fi, power at the seats and a structured option that pairs a coffee with a place to sit.

Most of that seating is one large shared table, so expect company rather than a private corner. Free water arrives without asking, snacks sit beside the coffee, and the staff are set up for people staying rather than turning over. A few outdoor seats handle the shorter version of the visit.

Order the pourover, then the kimchi cheese sandwich

Start with a pourover if the plan is to taste what the bar has this week, since the beans change and the method shows them most clearly. Espresso and drip cover the faster orders, and chai latte is the reliable non-coffee choice.

The kimchi cheese sandwich is the food item most closely attached to this branch, and it sets the tone for the rest: the kitchen also handles breakfast, quick bites, organic plates, and vegan and vegetarian options, so a work session does not have to run on coffee alone. Coffee first, sandwich second, and the retail shelf on the way out.
