Riceteria Stuttgart is located above Schulstrasse. And I literally mean “above”. Did you know Schulstrasse actually has two floors? The entrance to Riceteria Stuttgart is located on the second one. You have to take the stairs next to the shop Korbmayer in order to get there. I think that’s why I’ve never recognized this lovely place before.

When you enter Riceteria Stuttgart you feel like you’ve stepped into a sparkling rainbow. You’re surrounded by colors!

Riceteria is actually a combined cafe and shop. That’s why it is stuffed with all sort of colorful products from RICE, a Danish homeware and accessories company. And I have to say, the concept works – I saw customers that bought some of the colorful products, saw the food menu and decided to stay for lunch. Or the other way round: customers that came in for a cup of coffee and left with a bag of gifts for their loved ones 🙂

At first, I didn’t expect much of the food. In the end, it’s a franchise store, they don’t really care for good quality, right? Well, I found out that at Riceteria, they do! I was there several times within the last weeks and everything I’ve tried so far was amazing. At first I just had a hot chocolate with marshmallows and a waffle. The next time I tried their soup. And on my third visit I went for the salad (unfortunately unpictured). Everything was sooooo good!!!

On their menu I saw that they also offer afternoon tea! Definitely something I have to try very soon! 🙂

During summer you can even sit outside on one of their colorful tables. In winter cozy couches and tables await you.

The post Riceteria Stuttgart – a funky and colorful cafe appeared first on Living in Stuttgart.

38 stalls offer fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, spices and much, much more on 3500 square meters. The smell and the colors make a visit very enjoyable.

Mouthwatering, right?

From the gallery on the first floor you’ve got a nice view down to the bustling market…

… and you find some shops and restaurants:

If you’re not looking for fresh products but for some souvenirs, check out the stall from Hochland Kaffee. Their roasting facility is located in Stuttgart-Degerloch and the tradition of this company goes back to 1930. I like them not only because of the good quality of their coffee, but also because they offer some very fun, Stuttgart related products:

Like these boxes with coffee named Stuttgarter Bohnenviertel”(“Stuttgart beans quarter”, which relates to a part of the city with this exact name in the west of Stuttgart), chocolate with bezels, noodles in the shape of bezels and much more. Or Wibele (traditional mini cookies from Stuttgart) and “wine to go”:

One of my favorites is this set of four chocolates:

It brings together the best of Stuttgart: The Fernsehturm (television tower), Wibele, Brezel and the Swabian accent (Schogglad, meaning chocolate). Fun!

Yep, the Markthalle is always worth a visit – and I always have to take at least a tiny piece of deliciousness home with me…
