Von Crumb

It's all about schnitzel and community at Von Crumb. The self-styled schnitzel café serves generously sized portions of the Teutonic treat, fried to golden perfection on the encrumbed exterior while retaining juicy, tender meat on the inside.

Built on its founders' shared appreciation of schnitzels, Von Crumb caters to different preferences with a varied menu of different schnitzels – besides the gold standard chicken schnitzel, there's a premium veal option, a robust beef version, and a vegan-friendly option made with seasoned aubergine steak. If you're more of a sandwich kind of person, you can get your schnitzel tucked lovingly into a pillowy challah bun, with various condiments adding a unique twist. And though schnitzels are undoubtedly the stars of the show, there's a selection of small plates, salads, and European specials like goulash or sausages with mash and sauerkraut available as well.

Von Crumb lives up to the café part of its mission statement too, serving good coffee and smoothies in a simple yet pleasant setting with polished wood furnishings, an unobtrusive brick bar, soft lighting, and tasteful artwork on its walls, as well as plenty of outdoor seating.

As mentioned, community plays a big part here, and the café-restaurant takes care to make everyone feel welcome, whether stopping by to dig into a big schnitzel or just to grab a coffee and get some work done. It's straightforward, honest, and nourishing – just like a schnitzel.
