    (Translated by Google) Overpriced for a canteen but the food is worse than expected. The service is unfriendly and doesn't try hard. Okay for sandwiches if you don't want to leave uni. Otherwise 100m further you have many restaurants to choose from. (Original) Überteuert für eine Mensa aber dafür ist ja das essen schlechter als erwartet. Die Bedienung ist unfreundlich und nicht bemüht. Für Sandwiches wenn man aus der uni nicht raus will okay. Sonst 100m weiter hat man viele Lokale zur Auswahl.

    Student-friendly is something else. You are not allowed to sit down to eat the snack you brought with you and if you want to borrow a fork you are drawn into a discussion where you are told to buy a plastic fork instead. It's also expensive.

    Good snacks, but very mediocre warm meals.

    I wanted to treat myself to a good nut cake, but I got a rock-hard, dried-out piece with rubbery cream. It's a shame to sell it at the normal price. Really recommended 😖🤐 (Kiosk Schottentor) A visit to the market office certainly wouldn't hurt...

    Actually, there's nothing wrong with this cafe, it's overpriced and the service is unfriendly. Either they are not aware of their location in a university or, instead of performing well and catering to customers, they simply take advantage of the lack of seats in the main university to rip off students.

    Unfortunately, far too expensive for a student buffet, and the quality of the goods on offer is also not convincing. However, the lady who makes the coffee is very friendly!

    Change your employees, they're really rude. I was getting some breakfast at the schottentor station, and what I got with my sandwich was unfriendliness and attitude. Not nice.

    Good food

  • 4/5 Aleksandra B. 5 months ago on Google • 3 reviews
    Overall, a very practical location where you can spend the time between classes to the benefit of your stomach. A varied and quite satisfying menu, both vegetarian dishes and a delight for meat eaters. For a set lunch (soup + main dish with side dish you pay about 10 €), the only thing is that the high chairs are uncomfortable, you roll off them while eating.

    (Translated by Google) Rude staff. Overpriced. The quality of the products is okay but would prefer all other surrounding supermarkets, bakeries ... (Original) Unfreundliches Personal. Überteuert. Die Qualität der Produkte ist okay aber würde alle anderen umliegenden Supermärkte, Bäckereien... bevorzugen

  • 2/5 Patrik M. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) - unfriendly staff - Deviation from the opening hours as you like it - overpriced - Amount ratio of the lunch menus (especially pasta) completely uneconomical - no reasonably consistent quality of the "a la cart" food. + Selection fits + Room not dirty + breakfast All in all not recommended! (Original) - Unfreundliches Personal - abweichung von den Öffnungszeiten wie es ihnen gefällt - überteuert - mengenverhältnis der Mittagsmenüs (vor allem Pasta) komplett unökonomisch - keine halbwegs einheitliche Qualität der "A la cart" Speisen. +Auswahl passt +Raum nicht schmutzig +Frühstück Alles in Allem nicht empfehlenswert!

(Original) Nettes Ambiente (Uni-Café eben), freundliches Service, abwechslungsreiche Mittagsmenüs, gute Snacks und Mehlspeisen. Selbst der Kaffee ist in Ordnung.

  • 1/5 Doli O. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The staff is very rude and arrogant. The cooks often tasted the soup with the same ladle with which they stirred the soup - not hygienic at all! Coffee and pastries are tasty. (Original) Das Personal ist sehr unfreundlich und arrogant. Die Köchinnen haben die Suppe vielmals mit der selben Kelle geschmeckt, mit der sie die Suppe umgerührt haben - gar nicht hygienisch! Kaffee und Backwaren sind schmackhaft.

  • 2/5 P. E. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Price / performance is in my opinion not. For a university, the things are too expensive, if you sit in at noon, you smell the whole day for food, sometimes rude. As an exception, ok .. (Original) Preis/Leistung stimmt meiner Meinung nach nicht. Für eine Uni sind die Sachen zu teuer, wenn man am Mittag rein sitzt, riecht man den ganzen Tag nach Essen, teils unfreundlich. Als Ausnahme ok..

  • 5/5 Joseph F. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Can choose many different vegetables on my roast sandwich. Tomatoes, cucumber, corn, olive, spinach etc. Mayo, ketchup, Mostrich. And not expensive. :) (Original) Kann viel verschiedene Gemüse darauf meinen bratenes Sandwich wählen. Tomaten, Gurke, Mais,Olive,Spinat etc. Mayo,ketchup, Mostrich. Und nicht teuer. :)

  • 4/5 Betti K. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The unfriendliness of the other reviews I can not confirm, to me was was friendly The prices are pretty high, but that it is actually intended for students. Food tasted very good in any case. I would only wish more vegan selection (Original) Die Unfreundlichkeit der anderen Bewertungen kann ich nicht bestätigen, zu mir waren war freundlich die Preise sind doch recht gehoben, dafür dass es eigentlich für Studenten gedacht ist. Essen schmeckte auf jeden Fall sehr gut. würde mir nur mehr vegane Auswahl wünschen

  • 1/5 Ali B. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Catastrophe! The "lady" at checkout is unfriendly, the smoothie "lady" is rude and disrespectful, the staff does not answer the questions and send you to the cashier! (Original) Katastrophe! Die „Dame“ an der Kasse ist unfreundlich, die Smoothie „Dame“ ist unfreundlich und respektlos, die Mitarbeiter antworten nicht auf die Fragen und schicken dich zur Kassa!

  • 5/5 Andreas O. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) At this intellectual place every student * should have been in student life once;) and at least have had a coffee or cookie. Very friendly staff!!! (Original) An diesem intellektuellen Ort sollte jede/r Studierende* einmal im Studentenleben gewesen sein ;) und zumindest einen Kaffee getrunken oder Cookie gegessen haben.

  • 2/5 Andreas S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Food tastes good, but the prices for the usually very small portions are an absolute impudence! (Original) Essen schmeckt zwar gut, aber die Preise für die meist sehr kleinen Portionen sind eine absolute Frechheit!

  • 2/5 Jakob P. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Completely overpriced! Operator takes advantage of student proximity like the countess at the Naschmarkt tourist. Shout out to the rude staff (Original) Vollkommen überteuert! Betreiber nutzt Studentennähe aus wie die Gräfin am Naschmarkt die Touristen. Shout out zum unfreundlichen Personal

  • 1/5 Olivia M. 3 years ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Overpriced, unfriendly, all plastic. Some employees in particular should consider whether they really want to work in the SERVICE area, an area in which you constantly have to deal with people - you will be shouted at here, the already not very good food is almost thrown away, this buffet is just because many students depend on it. It's a shame, I'll forever miss the old café that used to be there.
