Marzipan-Speicher Café

Marzipan-Speicher Café offers another way to taste Lübeck's sweet speciality: leave the town-hall shopping axis and head for the edge of the Untertrave. The café operates at An der Untertrave 97 and the company links it to its marzipan warehouses. Its room and courtyard garden, open in suitable weather, turn a shop-window temptation into a pause beside the water. It is a different choice from Niederegger's landmark branch and deserves its own listing, with its own address and separate rating.

The house advertises Lübeck marzipan cake and marzipan ice cream, but also cakes without the sweet almond paste. It says it roasts its own coffee. That range helps a group in which not everyone wants marzipan's strong flavour; sharing a slice and choosing a different cake may be more useful than buying several boxes before tasting. Online visitors appreciate the cakes and setting, although some find the cost of a sweet stop high or prefer other venues in town. This is a matter of taste and experience, not an objective competition.

The café's address is An der Untertrave 97; the company's website also shows An der Untertrave 98 as its corporate address, which should not replace the café's location. The site lists daily opening from 11:00 to 18:00 and a café-specific phone number. From the Holstentor, the detour leads towards the riverbank before returning to the centre's streets. Social accounts linked by the website belong to Marzipan-Speicher rather than another maker; they may show news, but check the café page for its hours and address.
