Stopped by for a drink last week and ended up staying longer than planned. The cocktail list is short but well thought out &mdash; went with something gin-based and it paired nicely with the bar snacks. Cups are gorgeous too, almost felt bad putting them down. Staff let me take my time deciding, which I appreciated. Only minor thing: music was a touch quiet for my taste, but that&rsquo;s hardly a complaint.

The breakfast buffet is the real draw here&mdash;great variety from savory options like bacon and eggs to sweet pancakes and fruit, all at a fair price. Weekday pricing is especially reasonable.

Tried the &quot;Prince of Bad Homburg&quot; flavor &mdash; definitely different, in a good way. &euro;1.20 a scoop feels fair for what you get. Portion was decent, not tiny. I&#39;d grab another one if I&#39;m in the area again.

Stopped by for coffee and a slice of cake. Place looks really nice, lots of light inside. Coffee was solid, dessert did the job. Queue was a bit annoying though, took a while to get seated. But the riverside spot makes up for it. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The hand cheese with Pilsner hit the spot, and the staff were friendly. Cozy little spot right by the station. Just a heads up, it gets a bit smoky inside.

Stopped by for lunch on a Tuesday. Place is run by a family, feels like eating in their living room. Had the schnitzel, it was solid. Nothing fancy, just proper German cooking. Service was friendly, not overbearing. Prices are fair for what you get. I&#39;ll probably come back when I&#39;m in the area.

Friendly staff even though our German was limited. Sat outside, nice for people-watching. Easy walk from the U-Bahn.

We were there for Sunday lunch. Service was very good and friendly. The ambience elegant, however relaxed . And the food was perfect. We will definitely be back.

Came here for lunch and honestly the menu prices surprised me&mdash;pretty cheap for what you get. I ordered the schnitzel and it was huge, definitely didn&rsquo;t leave hungry. Place is small but cozy, kind of feels like a local spot. Service was fine, nothing crazy. Would go back if I&rsquo;m in the area again.

The pad kra pao with crispy egg was spot on &mdash; reminded me of actual street food in Thailand. Owner clearly cares about what they&#39;re serving.

Stopped by for a quick lunch. Got the tacos, they were solid and came out fast. Place gets packed around noon, so it&rsquo;s a bit loud. But if you need a decent Mexican fix without the wait, this works. Prices are fair for the area.

Been coming here for years, mostly for breakfast before work. The oat milk cappuccino is my usual, and the spinach pita never disappoints&mdash;always fresh. Staff knows me by now, which is nice. Place gets a bit busy around 8, but that&#39;s on me for timing. Solid neighborhood spot, nothing fancy.

The robot bringing our food was a nice touch, and the view of the elephants from our table was lovely.
