Duske & Duske

Although I cannot make myself endorse anything related to tobacco I must admit the charm, kind staff and excellent espresso drinks at D&D saved my morning for a week while visiting Hamburg. Never start smoking! Just drink coffee and enjoy the atmosphere outside away from second hand smoking :)

As a non-smoker I only ever visit Duske & Duske to get my fix of English-language magazines, but their selection is surprisingly large (for automotive titles, that is) and the service is impeccable, in an understated, Hanseatic fashion. I think it's also much more charming than getting the mags at the train station anyway.


Once I bought some cigars as a present for a friend, who told me they were top notch quality - they better be, for Duske & Duske's range isn't exactly cheap, but the helpful and competent assistance was a great bonus, particularly as I had no clue what I should buy.

Exceptional coffee, cigars, brandy, port, long drinks, short drinks and cocktails. Great for sitting outside and watching tge world walk (and drive) past.
