My friend had just finished up a work meeting and, living in Stuttgart at the time, she and I decided to stroll Darmstadt that evening and take in the town a bit. We grabbed dinner and, wanting coffee, started toward a coffee shop. We never made it to the coffee shop, but rather stumbled upon this cozy welcoming cafe. The cafe was incredibly inviting from the outside. From the lighting, environment, music, and Jimmie smiling behind the counter as we looked in on our way to coffee, clearly we had to stop and check it out. Not only were we treated so well by the staff, we recognized Jimmie after a quick google search of "Jimmie Wilson" to see who owned the place. As others have said, Jimmie is so into providing customers of Larsie Mae Cafe with an experience, that after getting to know him a bit and him learning we were from the U.S., he sang a variety of Motown hits for us, and he sang them well; a very rewarding and fun experience. On top of that, the cocktails were great. I highly recommend dropping in whenever you can.
