"Before making a km walk through the forest near Bad Harzburg we decided to visit the café Winuwuk. Partly because we would like to have a coffee and a snack anyway, partly because of the interesting history and architecture of the café. It has...been designed in the early by the German sculptor and painter Bernhard Hoetger who at that time had become a member of the expressionist movement. Owners Walter and Dore Degener, artists themselves and friends of Hoetger, wanted to create a gallery in which they could show their new and young art and decided to combine that with a café for economic reasons. Thus their Winuwuk Café and art gallery was opened in Actually, Winuwuk stands for “Will ist neu und Weg unserer Kunst”, which can roughly be translated as “Will means new and the way to our art”. The current owners have added a second interpretation: “Weg Im Norden Und Wunder Und Kunst ” (Way in the North and wonder and art). Having arrived at the café which is situated at the edge of town on a slope next to the forest, one immediately notices the “arty” structure standing out of the rest of the houses. Once seated in the inside our eyes went back and forth, examining the interesting details. Original chairs, a cosy fireplace in the middle, red-brownish rounded supporting pillars, curved walls and pivot posts with no straight angle whatsoever. We felt a bit like being part of the set of “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari”. For those who like that expressionist silent movie, we think the Winuwuk Café is a must-see if you’re staying anywhere near Bad Harzburg. Concerning the drink and the snack, Winuwuk offers a modest menu: several kinds of tea and coffee, homemade Kuchen (cake), a soup or two, bread or toast with meat or cheese and about five simple main dishes. Prices are a little above average but we don’t think they’re too high. The café is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Rest of the week it opens from half past eleven in the morning until six in the afternoon, kitchen closing at pm. Be aware there’s no possibility to pay with card, cash money only. Expressionism at the Winuwuk has not been limited to the building and the interior itself. Cups, plates and dishes are also matching as a kind of expressionist design-ware. Because it’s situated at a slope you’ll get a very nice views towards the north at the window, or during summer from the terrace on the backside of the Café. Don’t forget to visit the “Sonnenhof” in the garden. In matching architecture this shop in the backyard offers arts and crafts for sale. We had a coffee, beer and a soup, all served by friendly waitress and really enjoyed the interior and atmosphere of the café. Will definitely revisit the Winuwuk if ever around again."

We went just for soup, which was perfect. The wife had asparagus, I had goulash, both were wonderful. Quirky little place out of the way on the hillside. Kitchen hours and days are limited, so check first before making the trip.

We visited the cafe on a sunny day of August. However it was very enjoying and like Spring for somebody who travelled here from Greece a few days ago having degrees Celcius. Taste the handmade sweets with your coffee and do not skip to...visit the Sonnenhof, where possibly you can buy a souvenir (or gift)
Josefina
nice place to stop when around. more in demand table from outside, it was full so had to wait to get space, although when we sat there were several tables all empty (and not because of the corona conditions). had tee and coffee, wanted to order cake later, but no one we could stop and ask. also had to get up to pay the bill, customer service was not so good. service only works to make your order and get the order too table, otherwise they are all alone there.

my sister and I found a postcard of cafe winuwuk when our parents visited bad harzburg. we traveled from london to see the places they were. seeing it there and whispering was lovely. it is a beautiful place and...we had coffee, tee, delicious toast with cheese, cake and wine to celebrate our special time there. we hoped that our parents will look at us in the approval. we have tried to explain to the personal why we have come, but we do not speak unfortunately German. a beautiful souvenir shop. very happy time.
