The menu at Ins Blaue features an impressive array of breakfast options, with a notable emphasis on catering to various dietary needs, including many vegan selections.

The highlight of your visit is sure to be the rich, aromatic coffee crafted with precision, including the option for oat milk, as praised by customer Hannah Altmann. Pair your drink with a treat from the impressive selection of pastries.

Pretty good spot and very nicely decorated inside. Not sure why the rating is lower for it.

Cool breakfast place. Self serving concept with many options, also vegan. Very tasty food. It took a while to get through all stations, but we have been there on opening day so I hope they streamlined their logistics a bit more

Ins Blaue in Kiel offers really good quality coffee with a cosy design. It is one of my go-to places. The only downside for me is the pastries. I have tried several specialties but they are very sweet and have a strong buttery taste which I don't enjoy, especially the croissants and pain au chocolate.

Great coffee with oat milk, lots of sweet treats available. Would love more gluten free / healthy options
