Avoid!!

    We wanted to order 14 currywurst, but this place wouldn't sell any. Reason? According to them, they didn't have enough of them, but we saw more than 20 left on their work table. Courtesy? 0. Commercial attitude? 0. RESPECT: 0... do not come here. (I only gave 1 star because Google wouldn’t take 0 stars …)

    Sorry but the person who places the orders was unfriendly to us. She look with a bad face and really unfriendly. The food is good but 2 stars for that. Bas reception and to be reviewed.

    Ice cream was fine. But the map of the Confederate States of America on the wall in combination with the story of the beginnings of Bandy Brooks which was dripping with cultural appropriation means I'm never coming back.

    The sweets are really good and would recommend the ice cream. The best part is the location just beside the river.

    We tried vanilla , raspberry and chocobites icecream and sorry to say that all 3 felt not good in taste. Not a good place for Ice cream buy.

    The cashier ignored us and served a German customer first. She then rudely told us off for sitting in the wrong place, and walked off for 5 minutes as a queue was growing. 3.80 for maybe 0.1l of coffee which was too bitter to drink. There's also a colonialism-gloryifying map on the wall, in case you were still considering Bandy Brooks! The Cathedral café is directly opposite and much nicer + they have manners.

    Fast, clean service. Inexpensive. Good sausage, too much sauce to my taste (my fault, other people asked 'no sauce' to have the pure sausage). Fries ('pommes') excellent, wonderfully crunchy.

    Ich muss zugeben, dass der Kaffee bzw. Latte Macchiato sehr gut schmeckt, aber leider auch viel zu überteuert ist. Die Mitarbeiter waren mir gegenüber freundlich und sehr gut gelaunt (Arbeitsklima passt 👍🏽) Die Toilette war jetzt nicht wirklich sauber, da sollte man vielleicht noch ein Auge drauf werfen!

    An arogant attitude and a very bad services! Stay alert about them! After you finish your ice cream, bought from them with a lot of money, if you are terribly thirsty and ask for a glass of water, you are told that the manager forbids offering water to people. And this in the conditions where it was 38 degrees Celsius outside. The employees and the manager lack humanity and friendly soul. Everything is facade, cruel and insensitive.

    Good overall. Not excellent or outstanding. Good food at a fair price for the location, although portion sizes are small, around 6 euro for a single portion of sausage and chips. 4-5 euro for a drink, although these places always get you on the drinks. DO NOT use the nearest ATM, it charges a 5 euro fee!!

    Very tasty cakes and good coffees! Prices are not cheap but is Berlin and is really close to the Cathedral, so it worth it. Workers also kind. Recommended!

  • 4/5 İhsan Y. 7 years ago on Google • 326 reviews
    Nice place for having a drink and sweets. Apfelstrudel and tea was a good combination. You can also have a good view from Church during your stay. They don't have WC so you have to go next place for it.

    Great location, fast service but there’s nothing else special about it. Sausage is tasteless, thank god I like Curry that was the only flavor I can taste. They don’t accept cards, cash only.

    We went there on Sunday. The view is great! The stuff was really friendly. We order waffles with ice cream and carry wurst! The ice cream was delicious, the waffles were a little bit hard! The carry wurst was tasty but small portion!

  • 4/5 Jen S. 4 years ago on Google • 55 reviews
    This cafe is opposite the Berliner Dom and the river so a lovely view with your currywurst. Food was super tasty, service was quick and friendly and the price was cheap - great lunch spot.

    Waren vor paar Wochen in Berlin. Und alle sagen immer Iss nich bei den Touri Hot Spots. Aber wenn man vorallem die Kinder Hunger haben bleibt einem nix andres übrig. Zuerstmal stand vor dem Restaurant eine Currywurst Bude. Aber die Karte ist die gleiche wie die hier abgebildeten. Also ab an de Bude. Hatte die Currywurst mit der Zwiebel Salsa. Man war die Scharf. Aber Geil!! Die Wurst ansich und die Pommes waren auch echt gut. Also hier kann man als Touri hingehen. Leider sind draußen zu wenig Plätze für die vielen Touris. Wir hatten Glück das grad ne Gruppe aufgestanden ist. Kommen gern wieder falls wir mal wieder in Berlin sind.

    Meinem Mann fiel eine Eiskugel an den Boden. Er bekam von der freundlichen Bedienung sofort eine neue. Es gibt Tische von denen aus man einen schönen Blick auf die Spree hat. Das Eis war sehr cremig und es gab neben den Klassikern auch besondere Sorten, wie Belgische Schokolade und Rocher - Haselnuss.

    Staff is very friendly. I ordered French crepes with Nutella and they were really tasty. They cost something below 4 euro. I liked my stay in here and, judging by the amount of customers I found inside, I think it's fair to say that others appreciate this place too

  • 5/5 Hailey G. 7 months ago on Google • 21 reviews
    Solid place to get curry wurst. Seating can be crowded but the food was good and very reasonably priced. Some review mentioned they only take cash, but when we went they took cards.

  • 4/5 Khang N. 4 years ago on Google • 14 reviews
    A handy store in the centre of Berlin. The price is not cheap. You can try Currywurst to know what it is, but from my personal taste, that was not good. Basically, what they have is a German Wurst, sauces and ... Curry powder. The french fries is not included ($$$). There are places outside, you can have you food, sit on the tables and enjoy the river and the cathedral in front of it. I will not recommend you to buy drinks there, as it is expensive (2,5 eur for a small 'regular' Coke is not normal).

    When I ordered a hot chocolate they just reheated some old hot chocolate that already made some time ago and gave it to me. And it's very expensive too

    (Translated by Google) Ice cream was not my taste. There is a gang of cone players in front of the door. Sit down and talk to someone. Stay alert. Unpleasant atmosphere and noisy street. (Original) Eis war nicht mein Geschmack. Vor der Tür ist ne Bande Hütchenspieler. Setzen sich zu einem und quatschen einen an. Bleibt auf der Hut. Unangenehme Atmosphäre und laute Strasse.

  • 3/5 Stjepan P. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) In my opinion a completely normal ice cream parlor with unfortunately too expensive ice cream. I found 2 € / ball too expensive. On the other hand, the location is really good and therefore the price is a bit more acceptable. (Original) Meiner Meinung nach eine ganz normale Eisdiele mit leider zu teurem Eis. 2€/Kugel fand ich doch zu teuer. Aber zum anderen ist die Lokation richtig gut und somit der Preis etwas akteptabler.

    (Translated by Google) The ice was a disaster, far too watery, it ran away immediately, and the price was far too expensive (Original) Das Eis war eine Katastrophe, viel zu wässrig,es lief sofort weg, und der Preis viel zu teuer

    (Translated by Google) worst currywurst ever. indefinable taste, wobbly consistency, terrible. the sauce a horror. the whole cut, about 5 pieces for 3.50 euros. Congratulations. service staff annoyed and disinterested. should clean the floor of the snack bar, this is urgently needed. but it matched the overall impression. tasty snack with catastrophic currywurst. (Original) schlechteste currywurst ever. undefinierbarer geschmack, wabbelige konsistenz, schrecklich. die soße ein graus. das ganze geschnitten, so ca 5 stückchen für 3,50 euro. herzlichen glückwunsch. servicemitarbeiter genervt und desinteressiert. sollten mal den boden im imbiss säubern, das ist mal dringend nötig. hat aber zum gesamteindruck gepasst. siffiger imbiss mit katastrophaler currywurst.

    The milk shake was pretty good, view on the river even better- awesome. Might be better to have more ice cream types (like Caramell Salee or Noix de Pecan) which I got used to in France.
