Café Emilie is beco­ming a popular gathe­ring place in Leimen

Ever since we opened, we’ve been able to see every day how Café Emilie is incre­asing­ly beco­ming an inte­gral part of many guests’ daily lives. Whether they’re hotel guests, visi­tors from Leimen and the sur­roun­ding area, or people who want to treat them­sel­ves to a little break—we’re deligh­ted by the many posi­ti­ve inter­ac­tions and the trust our guests place in us.

Café Emilie is part of the Hotel Engel­horn and adds a place to our hotel where guests can expe­ri­ence our hos­pi­ta­li­ty even if they aren’t staying the night. This is where people gather for break­fast, an after­noon coffee, or simply a rela­xing break in between.

Homemade cakes and a menu that evolves

A café evolves along with its guests. That’s why, over the past few weeks, we’ve further refined our menu and added new items.

Our home­ma­de cakes are espe­ci­al­ly popular; they’re freshly baked every day and vary depen­ding on the season. We serve them along­side spe­cial­ty coffees, break­fast, small dishes, and a sel­ec­tion of after­noon snacks.

Our phi­lo­so­phy is simple: authen­tic dishes, careful­ly pre­pared and served in a plea­sant atmo­sphe­re.

Summer Treats with Homemade Ice Cream

Just in time for the warm season, Café Emilie now has its own ice cream menu.

What makes us special: Our ice cream spe­cial­ties are made right here in-house using our own ice cream machine.

For anyone looking for some­thing refres­hing on hot days, our Frozen Limos have also become a favo­ri­te on the drink menu—fruity, ice-cold, and perfect for summer.

Sun terrace or comfortably air-conditioned indoor areas

On sunny days, our patio is the perfect place to relax. If you prefer a cooler envi­ron­ment, you’ll find a com­for­ta­ble spot in our air-con­di­tio­ned indoor area—even on hot summer days.

Whether it’s for break­fast, a relaxed get-tog­e­ther, or a short break from work, the café offers just the right atmosphere—no matter the weather.

Rent Café Emilie for Private Parties

Many guests aren’t even aware that Café Emilie can be booked exclu­si­ve­ly or par­ti­al­ly for private events.

Whether it’s a bir­th­day, a chris­tening, a family cele­bra­ti­on, a baby shower, or a memo­ri­al reception—we’ll create the perfect setting and work with you to take care of all the details. Thanks to our direct con­nec­tion to the Hotel Engel­horn, guests also benefit from short distances and, upon request, over­night accom­mo­da­ti­ons for fami­lies or visi­tors from out of town.

We look forward to your visit

Whether for break­fast, a slice of home­ma­de cake, ice cream on warm summer days, or your next family celebration—Café Emilie warmly wel­co­mes you.

We look forward to wel­co­ming you in person soon.
