Coffee culture in Schwerin: The Jan Cornelius” as an oasis of well-being!
In the heart of Schwerin, hidden between historical buildings, is the popular café “Jan Cornelius”. For over ten years it has been pampering its guests with Neapolitan coffee specialties, especially the irresistible cappuccino. Evelyn Ahlers, the owner and heart of the café, has fulfilled a lifelong dream by creating an oasis of well-being where guests can escape the hectic pace of everyday life. Her husband Frank explains that good coffee consists of first-class beans, perfect roasting and loving preparation.
The café not only offers exquisite coffees, but also has an extensive range of fine rum and handmade chocolate, which is particularly popular in winter. The distinctive coffee is prepared with a Neapolitan hand lever machine from Attilio Bosco, a real eye-catcher and the heart of the restaurant.
A piece of Naples in Schwerin
The entire furnishings of the café are characterized by craftsmanship. Tables, counters and stools come from the skilled hands of Frank Ahlers himself. The walls are adorned with pictures that tell of Naples and the Caribbean, while a signpost takes guests on an imaginary journey of 1,762 kilometers to Naples and 1,309 kilometers to Levanto. “Jan Cornelius” is not just a café, but also designed as a “spiritual island” for lived coffee house culture, which is characterized by a relaxed atmosphere.
On two floors, guests can enjoy their coffee and at the same time choose from a changing selection of cakes or original South American hot chocolate. There are also various Southeast Asian tea specialties that offer something for all tastes.
