Stephan's Cafe

Tom's boyfriend Stephan has spent 20 years pouring his heart and soul into this Cafe. They are the only Vegan, Gluten Free totally organic Bakery in Hamburg and have quite the reputation for high quality and yumminess! When Stephan met us last Saturday, he brought a cake sampler of 5 of their best - strawberry / raspberry torte was my favorite! Today, we went to explore ALL the goodness!

The cafe has a great location, right off a busy shopping area intersection. My favorite was the Franzbrotchen, a light cinnamon airy pastry. I also tried the Aprikosen Nuss Schnitte - the inner cake was wheat with a chocolate surround and nut topping. Stephan made us some amazing tea, complete with a steeping timer, to accompany the treats and took a break to join us.

Somedays are just meant to be beach days, to chill with a friend! First, I did an uber run to nearby Costco in the town of Lihue, where I bought us Tommy Bahama backpack beach chairs! Then we were good to go. Kalapaki beach was just a quick 15 minute walk from the Ship. I realized I did the same thing with my Cousin Cathy , back in 2020, when I was here on my first cruise to Hawaii! Today, I spent the afternoon chilling with good buddy Sherrie Cornett.
