Long-running cheesecake specialist in the Dutch Quarter, baking multiple varieties daily from classic poppy seed and blueberry to nougat, pear, and eggnog versions.
Café Guam has become a fixture of Potsdam's Dutch Quarter for one reason above all: cheesecake, baked fresh in rotating flavors that change through the week. Standard varieties like poppy seed and blueberry sit alongside more unusual creations such as nougat, pear, or eggnog cheesecake around the winter holidays. The café itself is small, tucked into one of the Dutch Quarter's brick townhouses on Mittelstraße, with limited indoor seating and a handful of outdoor tables when weather allows. Coffee is straightforward but solid, and the pace is casual, making it a natural stop for a mid-walk break while exploring the Dutch Quarter's gabled streets. Because seating is limited and cheesecake batches sell out, especially on weekend afternoons, visitors with a specific flavor in mind should try to arrive earlier in the day.
