New Laupheim Café Recafé combines enjoyment with sustainability!

A new highlight has opened its doors on the upper market square in Laupheim: the “Recafé”. The operators Conny Ott and Paula Wasielewska combine gastronomy with an innovative second-hand shop. Sustainability is high on the agenda, so visitors can not only enjoy delicious coffee specialties, but also purchase stylish, well-preserved clothing. Schwäbische.de reports that the café offers a wide range of drinks from espresso to iced latte to plant-based milk alternatives. Homemade dishes such as cream puffs, cakes and bagels are also available.
