Coffee Twins is a café and bakery run by Jonas and Daniel, twins who trained as pastry chefs with the aim of opening a specialty coffee shop. They finished their apprenticeship in the winter of 2021 and opened Coffee Twins on 3 March 2022. A second Coffee Twins is opening soon in Moosach.

The coffee comes from JB Kaffee in Sulzemoos, near Dachau, which roasts the house coffee and keeps the twins supplied with unusual lots. The house blend on the grinder is a Brazil and Ethiopia, with a decaf and a fruitier alternative beside it, and the filter coffees are brewed to order on the V60. The espresso machine is a La Marzocco GB5, and every coffee on the menu is sold as beans too.

Every cake, pastry and piece of viennoiserie is baked in the café’s own bakehouse, with natural ingredients and no additives: spelt flour from the Meir-Mühle in Arnbach, French wheat flour and butter from Normandy, with long fermentation for the doughs. The spelt focaccia comes with cheese from the Hofkäserei Kiening and ham from the Forche butcher in Markt Indersdorf, or as a vegan version with tomato, and the seasonal toppings change daily. The milk is hay milk from the Lanzl family’s farm in Neuching, also sold in returnable one-litre bottles, and the oat milk comes from ROA in Amsterdam. Coffee Twins also bakes for other cafés.
