Cafe Oriental - Uma Zimmermann

Located in the heart of Görlitz on Nikolaistraße 14, Cafe Oriental is not just a coffee shop; it’s a sanctuary for those seeking relaxation and friendly conversation. With its warm atmosphere and welcoming vibe, this charming cafe stands out as the go-to destination for both locals and travelers alike. It’s a place where reminiscence of teenage years meets the indulgence of modern café culture.

Step inside and be greeted by Uma, the lovely owner, whose kindness and attentive service leave an indelible mark on every visitor. Patrons rave about the extraordinary shisha options, making it a highlight of the experience. Customer 'Sami Shmayess' shares that it's a "nice place" with "kind staff" and a "perfect shisha," and others echo this sentiment, praising the variety and quality of flavors available.

The cafe also serves a delightful menu of beverages, including refreshing mango lassi and creamy almond milk drinks—a perfect companion to the soft clouds of flavored smoke. As 'Gabe Georgian' aptly puts it, “best shisha I've ever smoked” reflects a true passion for quality. And let's not overlook the rich and aromatic Turkish coffee that many have raved about; it’s a must-try for any coffee enthusiast.

The atmosphere is described as cozy and relaxed, making it an ideal spot for unwinding after a long day or catching up with friends. 'Youssef Zeino' captures this sentiment perfectly, remarking on the relaxed lounge environment that complements the engaging conversations brewing among patrons.

As you revel in the delights, the staff's friendly demeanor adds warmth to the ambiance, making you feel at home. 'Dave 46' mentions the friendly service with a charming accent, enhancing the overall experience at the cafe.

Though the closing time is set at 10 PM, which some patrons like 'Youssef' find a bit early, it doesn’t detract from the unique offerings this cafe has. In fact, it's advisable to make a reservation to avoid disappointment as this popular spot tends to fill up quickly!

For visitors to Görlitz, Cafe Oriental is a remarkable find that invites you to sit back, enjoy a flavorful shisha, sip on delicious beverages, and relish the moments in a truly inviting space. Experience a little piece of comfort in this lovely café—you won't regret it!

Visiting since years and always brings back memories from the teenage years. Uma is just lovely & sishas taste good! Unfortunately not too many places and my advice is to make a reservation.

Ein nettes Café mit einer großen Auswahl an Getränken, Cocktails und Shishatabak. Die Bedienung, die einen wunderbaren indischen Akzent hat, ist sehr freundlich. Ich kann es jedem wärmstens empfehlen.

The experience was great, the owner was very friendly and the lounge was so relaxed and cozy place, the Turkish coffee was very good made the price was reasonable too, the only point is closing time at 10.00 PM was a bit early as most of the shisha lounges are open at least till 22.00 or 00.00
