Breakfast
The perfect start to your day at your home away from home!
A good breakfast is essential for a successful day – it delivers energy, increases concentration and ensures well-being. We love fresh & regional products and turn the morning ritual into a true experience at our Auszeit Hotel Hamburg: try our homemade jams (low in sugar!), savoury salads or are you more tempted by rice pudding or semolina pudding like grandma used to make? Accompany your meal with an aromatic wild coffee from a social project, brewed with a filter or as a speciality from the machine, as you wish. Tea drinkers will enjoy a large selection of loose organic teas. Delicious egg dishes, crispy bread, Hamburg's best Franzbrötchen, smoked fish and... we could list many more things, but why not try them for yourself!
And because sustainability is an attitude for us and not a trend, our ingredients come almost exclusively from regional partners and, as far as possible, we use organic quality.
You can look forward to
- BIO tea selection
- Fair trade wild coffee
- BIO bread rolls
- BIO breakfast juiceft
- Apple juice from meadow orchards
- BIO eggs cock & hen
- BIO cheese selection
- BIO muesli selection
- Waffles to bake yourself
BIO & regional
The food we offer you for your balanced breakfast experience comes directly from the region. We cooperate with small farms that place the highest value on animal welfare and sustainable agriculture. In doing so, we completely avoid food and ingredients that are industrially produced - entirely in the spirit of the Slow Food movement.

Our Partners
We prefer to tell you where our bread comes from rather than how many stars we have! So we are happy to introduce our partners here. By the way: we also offer some delicious souvenirs in our Auszeit Shop, so that you can remember us and Hamburg fondly when you get home...
Sausages and meat from Krautsand Farm
On the Elbe island of Krautsand, just outside Hamburg, Krautsand Farm rears cattle, pigs, sheep and chickens. The meat is processed in-house into sausages and other high-quality products and is available not only at their own butcher’s shop in Hittfeld, but also here on our breakfast buffet. The motto of this local organic farm is “Rethinking agriculture”, with the aim of bringing people, nature and animals back into harmony: sensibly and respectfully. The animals are reared on extensive, unspoilt pastures where they can not only graze freely but also express their natural herd behaviour. The natural environment not only ensures the health and well-being of the animals, but is also reflected in the quality of the meat.
Smoked fish from the Rosengarten trout farm
We source our smoked rainbow and brown trout as well as char from the Rosengarten trout farm, located in a side valley of the Aar. The fish have plenty of space to swim in natural ponds. The valley is a designated FFH (Flora-Fauna-Habitat) conservation area, which is i.a. designated by an EU directive to protect and connect rare and endangered animal and plant species. This is a crucial factor in preserving biological diversity in Europe. Also good to know: the farm has been awarded the ‘Guaranteed Sustainability’ seal of approval (German Institute for Sustainability).
Organic raw milk cheese from Backensholzer Hof
The farm cheese dairy's credo is: ‘Give the world more than you take from it’. A good 20 km from the North Sea, the dairy cows enjoy wide meadows, salty fresh air and genuine organic farming. The result is delicious raw milk specialities such as ,Deichkäse’ and ,Großer Husumer’, which you can discover and enjoy at our breakfast buffet. Animal welfare and craftsmanship are at the heart of Backensholzer Hof's work. We think you can taste the difference!
Organic bread from Bahde Bakery
Bahde Bakery, which has received multiple awards from Feinschmecker magazine, looks back on a long history. Founded in Hamburg-Finkenwerder in 1932, the bakery has been producing Demeter-certified products since 1981. In addition to a wide selection of crispy organic rolls, we source moist organic breads and, of course, the popular Franzbrötchen, which you simply must try when in Hamburg! All the ingredients for these delicious baked goods come from the region. What's more, the owners, Tanja and Peter Asche, are working towards the ambitious goal of becoming a carbon-neutral bakery.
Juices and spritzers from the project “Das Geld hängt an den Bäumen” (Money grows on trees)
The drinks support not only a social but also a sustainable project: the majority of the team is socially disadvantaged for various reasons – or, as the founders put it, ‘forgotten by society’, just like the apples that are harvested from orchards to produce delicious juices and spritzers in a family cider mill. The orchards in and around Hamburg are located in water protection areas and other ecologically valuable areas that are not fertilised or sprayed. What's more, the non-profit company plants hundreds to thousands of trees every year, mostly old varieties, to increase biodiversity and expand the green lungs of the north.
Organic eggs and organic vegetables from the Dannwisch far
Truly happy hens lay the eggs for our delicious egg specialities for breakfast. We source these, as well as the organic vegetables for our homemade savoury salads, from the Dannwisch farm in Horst. The farm has been practising biodynamic agriculture since 1957 and supplies us with fresh, regional food. The farming community is innovative and, in addition to breed diversity in organic laying hen husbandry, is also concerned with the development of resilient concepts for the future.
Honey from the Tietjen apiary
It all began in 1962 with a single beehive for Friedhelm Tietjen, the foundation for one of the largest apiaries in northern Germany. In the 1970s, the number of bee colonies grew steadily from 50 to over 800, and with it the sale of the ‘liquid gold’ at weekly markets in the region and through nationwide shipping. Since 2020, the civil-law partnership has been jointly managed by the three sons Wolfgang, Falco and Niklas. Every day, you will find a selection of liquid or creamy varieties from over 50 types of honey on our breakfast buffet! By the way: beekeeping is a manual craftsmanship in the truest sense of the word and cannot be replaced by machines.
Handmade cheese from the Jitthofer cheese dairy
Handmade delight: at the Jitthofer cheese dairy, everything from growing feed for the cows to milking and cheese-making to selling the delicious cheese is done by one company, or rather by the many hands of the entire farm team. The farm between Hamburg and Bremen has been run by the family for twelve (!) generations. The credo is ‘living from and with nature’, so that the farm not only ensures that the cows are well cared for, but also migratory birds or bats, which find refuge in specially created biotopes and hedges. A flowering meadow provides a home for ground-nesting birds and small game and, after harvesting, is used to generate energy, as is a photovoltaic system for the farm's own electricity needs.
