Kortländer is a small stylish space. Their cappucino is one of the best in the city. It's a hip place to be surrounded by some of the cities' more alternative bars. The atmosphere is familiar and because its small you might share a table and het to know new people. I'd suggest you give it a try by having a coffee and piece of cake in the afternoon.

Best Coffee in Bochum, hands down. Friendly staff too. Sometimes the wait can be long, but this is a place to relax, not to hurry.

The first (and, as far as I know, currently only) third wave cafe in Bochum (ex Reuters). Great coffee, great atmosphere, laptop friendly.
