Café Rasom in Hameln: Looking for a successor for the popular meeting place!
A different wind will soon be blowing on Osterstrasse in Hameln. The “Rasom” café is for sale. The popular eatery, which has been run by Maksym and Anastasiia Hrebyliuk for two years, is urgently looking for a new operator. The two came to Germany from Ukraine in 2022 due to the war and achieved a lot in a short time. They actually previously ran their own café in Ukraine, but had to give up their restaurant due to difficult circumstances.
After the previous owner of the “Rasom” café had to quit for personal reasons, Maksym took over the business. The name “Rasom,” which means “together” or “together” in German, reflects the couple’s philosophy. Not only have they sold delicious coffee and cake, but they have also built up a loyal customer base. But now the two of them are planning to reorient themselves professionally.
Looking for a successor
Maksym wants to pursue his passion as a videographer, while Anastasiia wants to train as a nutritionist. There are many theoretical inquiries from potential buyers for them, and discussions with interested parties are already planned in the coming weeks. “We are looking for someone who would like to continue running the café in its current form,” emphasizes the couple. After all, special offers and loyal regular customers are valuable assets that need to be preserved.
The customers' reactions are consistently sad, but they also show a lot of understanding for the operators' decision. “Rasom” is not just a café, but a place for exchange and community. The Hrebyliuks want to ensure that the facility and its popular recipes are passed on to their successor. This handover is intended to keep the spirit of the restaurant alive.
Cultural context and more
The situation surrounding the “Rasom” café is also a reflection of the change in gastronomy in Germany, which has experienced increasing internationalization since the Second World War. Migrant entrepreneurs have contributed to ethnic restaurants becoming increasingly popular in this country. The influence of this culinary diversity has long since found its way into households, which has a strong impact on the taste preferences of Germans, as a study on international gastronomy shows. In recent decades, “foreign” food has become an integral part not only in restaurants but also in everyday cooking.
The Hrebyliuks are part of this movement that promotes food and culinary transfer between different cultures. In this sense, the café is not only a place for coffee-loving Hamelin residents, but also a living example of intercultural exchange.
Interested parties and cafe lovers can find out more about the cafe on other platforms such as Untappd and perhaps even take the chance to continue running this special restaurant.
The “Rasom” could continue to prove to be a place for encounters and shared enjoyment in Hamelin’s gastronomic landscape – provided the right successor is found!
