Marco Mehrwald's Man versus Machine — MVSM — opened on Müllerstraße in 2014 and quickly became the brand that supplies Munich's Michelin-starred kitchens with their espresso program. The Schellingstraße shop in Maxvorstadt is the everyday flagship: light-roast Probatone-roasted single origins, a long bar with multiple brew methods, and the kind of room that fills with academics and creatives between the museums and the university. Their roasts go out to specialty cafés across Europe; here you drink the source. Open seven days, which makes it the Sunday morning answer.

Editor's Tip

Three minutes from the Pinakothek der Moderne — pair it with a museum morning. There is also an MVSM in Glockenbach if you are on the south side of the river; the Maxvorstadt room is the bigger and busier of the two.
