Cafe Maelu

About

Café Maélu is a boutique pastry shop and café nestled in the heart of Munich, just opposite the famous Fünf Höfe on Theatinerstraße 32. Since 1995 it has been run by master confectioners Sonja Mäser‑Luksch and Ralf Mäser, combining traditional German baking techniques with contemporary flavors. The menu features an ever‑changing selection of over fifteen‑flavored macarons, delicate tarts, chocolate pralines and freshly brewed coffee sourced from local roaster Supremo. Inside, the café accommodates about 60 guests on the first floor and a vibrant open terrace that seats around 80 people, making it a welcoming spot for both solo coffee‑breaks and family gatherings. The décor reflects a cozy, modern‑industrial style with neutral tones and warm lighting that invites patrons to linger over a cup of excellently roasted, single‑origin espresso or a steaming cappuccino. Maélu prides itself on using only high‑quality, sustainable ingredients—everything from organic flour to fair‑trade cocoa—and offers special options for allergy‑friendly guests. With no table reservations accepted, the café operates on a first‑come, first‑served basis, allowing visitors to choose a seat at the counter or on the terrace and to take pastries on the go. Whether you are looking for a quiet spot to work or a sweet treat to share, Café Maélu offers an authentic Munich café experience that blends timeless craftsmanship with contemporary flair.
