Welcome to coffee nerd - specialty coffee in Heidelberg

Hi, my name is Thomas and I am the owner of coffee nerd in Heidelberg.

Inspired by the early coffee scene in Berlin 2008 and my passion for lightly roasted coffee I opened coffee nerd in 2012 in Heidelberg. Since the very first day we have a straight and simple concept, our main goal is to prepare the possibly best cup of coffee we can and share our passion for coffee with our guests in a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere.

On our menu you will find coffee, roasted by very well known international roasters, like La Cabra, Coffee Collective, Drop Coffee, Friedhats, Manhattan Coffee. We change our coffee menu every 2-3 weeks, so you can always expect something new.

We would love to welcome you at our two Cafés in Heidelberg:

coffee nerd - specialty coffee
Poststraße 18-20

This is our original Café located very central in Heidelberg with a laid back atmosphere, perfectly to meet your friends and hang out for nice cup of coffee. Sadly we had to move out from our original space. At the moment Poststraße 18-20 is in constructions. Opening will be Summer 2024

This is our new Café opened in 2023, a very minimalistic place located in the old town of Heidelberg. Here we have a very modern coffee bar and offer a variety of world class coffees from the best roasters around Europe!

Friedhats

We only want to sell coffee that tastes great, consistently and with transparency and honesty. We buy coffees directly from the producers and from trusted importers Europe-wide. We want our packaging to be reused, refilled and at the very least recycled.

Rum Baba

Rum Baba coffeeroasters is no new kid on the block, not long after we opened one of the first specialty coffee bars in Amsterdam (Coffee Bru, 2011) Jeroen felt the desire to not only brew coffee behind his bar but to work on the whole process from green bean buying to the cup.
What we look for in our coffee is to be accessible yet complex and showing personality. Coffee should be fun, tasty and exciting as well. Accessibility is something deeply anchored at Rum Baba, without compromising on quality.

Swerl

Swerl is a micro roastery inspired by the art of great coffee and connection to one another.

La Cabra

Taste – and almost exclusively, taste – has informed La Cabra’s roasting style ever since. There’s a purity that I look for when I say brightness – a purity of taste. I don’t want to drink a coffee without brightness; brightness drives sweetness.

Drop Coffee

We at Drop Coffee are dedicated to really tasty and sustainably produced coffee, we visit all producers we buy coffee from. We are roasting the coffee carefully with complete focus on the sweetness and vibrancy of each unique coffee, always striving for a clarity in the coffee, without ashy roast flavours.

People Possession

Tim Wendelboe

We are known for our light-roasted coffees and consistent quality. The secret behind our reputation is not just the way we roast or our strict quality control, but also the way we buy green coffee. Our coffees are carefully selected by Tim Wendelboe and are sourced from his favourite origins with emphasis on quality, traceability and responsibility.

Coffee Collective

Creating the best coffee experiences in the world while helping farmers achieve more value is what drives us. At The Coffee Collective, we roast daily and focus on sustainability from seed to cup. With several competition awards in the bag, including gold in both the World Barista Championship and World Cup Tasting championships, we continue to explore exciting coffee experiences.
