A welcoming, vegetarian cafe offers coffee variations and hot chocolate made with oat milk, vegan sandwiches and cakes. Made-in-house ice tea, shim cocktails, experimental cocktails, and classic drinks. Special gins and other liquors. Their scenic terrace over the Gerwerbekanal channel is very popular so best to reserve or arrive early. Open Mon-Sat 10:00-00:00. Closed Sun.

Our favourite in Freiburg! - Edit
This was our favourite place in Freiburg, so we went there several times during our stay. There are a few hearty sandwiches and we tried both the Greek ones and the Kimchi ones which were all delicious. The cakes were lovely, too, as were the hot drinks - especially the Chai!
Read moreBut even more, we enjoyed the wonderful atmosphere of this place. Relaxed, welcoming, authentic, and a very pretty interior which is not overdone.
If only we could take Au Contraire home with us!
Be warned, though: You should reserve a table because it tends to be crowded. We went there in the morning when it was still quite empty, but towards noon it always got packed and we saw people queuing when we passed by in the afternoon.
Pros: Delicious food, Welcoming, wonderful atmosphere, Lovely location and interior
Cons: Some of the cakes are only available on weekends, The choice could be a little bigger

Cute Cafe with a nice concept - Edit
We sat outside on the patio, overlooking a small back alley of Freiburg and the small river passing through.
Read moreI took a hot chocolate (3,50€) and it was nice. We did not try the cake, but they had many to chose from.
Their standard is to serve everything with oat milk, and if you want cows milk you have to ask for it and pay 50ct extra - I love this! They said they had made good experiences with this strategy and want to keep it up.
Pros: super friendly staff, good selection of drinks and cake, oat milk for everything
Cons: slightly more expensive

Simple delicious lunch - Edit
Located in the old city centre we found this lovely little local bar. Their menu is 100% vegan and carries different sandwiches and sweets of which we tried and loved the hummus and babaganous. Original drinks, you should defenitely try the cold brew tonic. The staff was more then friendly.

Leckere Brote und schöne Terasse - Edit
Modernes Cafe in der Freiburger Altstadt mit schöner Terasse. Alle Speisen sind vegan und die Kaffeegetränke sind standardmäßig mit Hafermilch, Kuhmilch kostet extra. Die belegten Brote sind sehr lecker und die Bedienung war sehr nett. Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt und unser Frühstück genossen. Für einen perfekten Cafebesuch hätten wir uns noch eine ein bisschen größere Kuchenauswahl oder ein größeres Frühstücksangebot gewünscht. Als wir da waren, gab es dreierlei Cupcakes mit Beeren und zwei Rührkuchen. Den Cheesecake aus einer der anderen Bewertungen hätte ich wahnsinnig gerne probiert.
Read morePros: Schöne Terasse , Freundliche Bedienung , Hafermilch umsonst, Kuhmilch kostet extra
Cons: Speisekarte überschaubar

Super Angebot und freundliche Bedienung - Edit
Eigentlich ist hier alles Vegan. Standardmäßig werden alle Getränke mit Hafermilch zubereitet. Man hat aber die Option Kuhmilch zu wählen, für einen Aufpreis. So herum sollte das überall sein 😁

Coffee, cocktails, vegan cakes and sandwiches on Freiburg's most idyllic terrace - Edit
You want to enjoy a delicious vegan cake or sandwich and a high-class cocktail or oat milk cappuccino at the most beautiful site of Freiburg's historic city? Turn into Fischerau and you can't miss the idyllic terrace over the greatest of Freiburg's famous channels, the Gewerbekanal. One of the three lovely owners, Lou, Sarina, or Amka, will welcome you warmly and advice you professionally on your choice, since they are really in good cocktails and coffee. We live nearby and can't stand a single day without passing by and enjoying this new jewel of Freiburg's gastronomy.
