Café Calma is a tranquil spot tucked away on Himmelgeister Str., offering a calm retreat from Düsseldorf’s busier streets. It’s best known for its soufflé pancakes, especially the pistachio variety, which local regulars say come out light and fluffy with a delicate sweetness that’s worth the patient wait. The café also draws a crowd for its coffee and matcha lattes, lending a bit of variety beyond the usual espresso-based drinks.

The atmosphere here leans toward a relaxed, cozy vibe, making it a good choice for anyone looking to spend some quiet time whether catching up on work or simply unwinding with a book. The presence of wifi and power outlets caters well to freelancers or students needing a low-key place to plug in and focus. Weekday afternoons and Sundays tend to be calmest, providing a quiet backdrop free from rush or loud chatter.

Service is friendly and approachable, contributing to the easy-going feel of the place, though a slower pace on orders, especially for soufflé items, is part of the experience—something to keep in mind if you’re in a rush. Prices sit on the moderate side, reflecting the quality and care put into specialty pancakes and beverages.

Overall, Café Calma suits those who appreciate a slow-paced café environment with thoughtful take on classic café treats and a bit of a niche appeal thanks to its soufflé dishes. It’s well matched for locals and visitors who want a quiet pause in the afternoon or a gentle start to the weekend.

The pistachio soufflé pancakes were phenomenal, so fluffy and tasty and worth the wait. The cappuccino and the matcha latte was also delicious. The staff were incredibly friendly and made our experience perfect, highly recommended!

My roommate and I wanted to try this Cafe for their souffle pancakes. It was my first time having them. They were indeed fluffy, and the dough was not too heavy. It was the perfect amount of food and sweetness. I got the one topped with oreo. The rest of the cafe has a calm and cozy ambiance. Seems like a good place to do work, as they have wifi, tables, and outlets. Service took quite a while, and I had to come in and ask if my order was still being made. But it seemed like there was only one guy working the whole shop, both counter and kitchen in all, so this was alright.

Very nice cafe in a quiet street (at least on a sunday it was). We ordered the pistachio soufflé and a caramel cheesecake, both very tasty. The soufflé takes a bit longer to be cooked but for us it was totally fine! I recommend it (:

I dropped by on a random weekday afternoon, and the café is in a good location. It was really calm with no disturbance such a nice place to just sit and do your own thing. I ordered the pistachio soufflé (the main reason I came!), and it didn’t disappoint, it was amazing. The staff were also very calm and friendly. Overall, a really nice experience.

A cute nice coffee & dessert shop with very nice forms of cups! To be honest we enjoyed our coffee cups much more than the dessert it is worth for a visit

Only went in for coffee but saw some people have an amazing dish. It was the soufflé with matcha and pistachios. We tried it and it was the best food we had on our trip!
