About Coffee Table Mags

An independent magazine shop based in Hamburg, Germany, curating international magazines online and in-store.

Coffee Table Mags is built around a set of core categories — coffee and food, cycling, interiors, contemporary culture, Japanese magazines, iconic brands, and travel.

The shop is not about carrying everything.
It is about choosing carefully.

Magazines are selected issue by issue, based on editorial quality, photography, design, paper, and relevance beyond a single release.
Some titles sell quickly. Others stay longer — because they deserve time.

Many magazines are published in English or their original language, including a regularly curated selection of magazines from Japan.
Each product page includes detailed information about language, format, pages, frequency, and release date.

Coffee Table Mags exists both online and as a physical shop-in-shop in Hamburg.

Orders are shipped worldwide from Germany.
Local customers are welcome to visit the shop and pick up magazines in person.

Many independent magazines are produced in limited print runs.
Preorders and subscriptions help secure upcoming issues, support independent publishers, and allow readers to stay connected beyond single releases.

Every magazine is personally selected, handled, and shipped with care.
