Great fresh roasted coffee on the edge of Carlsplatz market. The place is tiny and a bit chaotic…read moreinside, but it's perfect for a high-quality cup to go. You can choose from a variety of coffee at a very reasonable price (~1.40 for a cup of black coffee) or buy whole beans for later (Hawaiian, Ethiopian, classic Italian, etc.). For me it's a must-visit stop to refuel and explore the rest of the market.

They have coffee beans from Costa Rica, Columbia, Brazil, India, Mexico, Kenya. If you dont know what to drink/buy just ask them, theyll help you. They also have little snacks like muffins, chocolate bars or cookies.

I grew up in Germany and I happened to be here with my husband who is here for a work trip. One of my goals was to sit in a cafe and eat German sweets. The ladies in the front were very nice and spoke English so I was able to ask questions without Google translate. I ended up just having water and a piece of torte and it was absolutely lovely. Highly recommend if you're in Dusseldorf!

As I was getting up to leave a server finally decided to turn his head to me. Ordered two spreads that were clearly premade. Took 25 more minutes until I asked another person where my food was. It was sitting there the entire time. Then I asked for the check and was told it's cash only. Fine, tried to give the guy the correct change but he couldn't even count what it was and there were only two bills of 20 and 10 Euros. Intelligence is not one their strong suits. Original server never showed up again, no napkins were offered, no apologies. Not sure where they hire these people but please avoid stopping by. It was a twilight zone experience.

What a great find!…read more Stopped here for dinner with colleagues, and was so glad I did since I had been craving a good burger. They easily accommodated our group of 8 and a service dog. I ordered the We Love Cheese and really enjoyed it. Flavorful and juicy. They cook all of their burger medium or well done. Having a medium burger was a first for me but I didn't mind it. Great service as well.

Bob & Mary know how to do a burger! I got the Sweet Goat (with beef, goat cheese, caramelized pears…read moreand red onion marmalade) and a side of fries with truffle mayo. The burger had a generous amount of goat cheese, and all of the flavors blended well together. The fries were more than a just a side. They had the perfect crunch to them and paired perfectly with the truffle mayo. I wish I could have tried all of the burgers!

This bar/restaurant does a lot of pub grub - think curries (but German style so not traditional in…read moreanyway!), schnitzel, and everything with carbs! Seriously my casear salad (I was trying to be healthy!) came with so many croutons and a side of garlic bread, this was after I'd ordered 'pizza bread' for starters, well this was just a mis translation on the menu - I got plain ciabatta rolls and a garlic mayo.This restaurant is giving those of South America a run for their money on the triple carbs for dinner! For my vegetarian friend its tricky to find things to eat in Germany, so he appreciated being able to try mushroom quesadillas and a sweet potato and chickpea curry (served with rice and naan - to ensure that carb content is kept up!). For me trying to be healthy it was too much gimmicky 'pup grub' not quite Whetherspoons in the UK and not quite American Tex-Mex. I would definitely recommend sticking to the steak, however they didn't do a great job cooking that as required, but I would blame our lack of German, rather than an issue in the kitchen for this, the actual meat was tasty and comes either with a salad, chips or huge baked potato with sour cream. On the drinks, they serve a selection of the local beers and those from further afield. They try with a cocktail menu, but the one 'mocktail' I tried was pretty hideous (avoid the cucumber syrup in anything!) This restaurant is in central Dusseldorf and is quick and cheap for dinner, just don't have high expectations. It seems to be open all day and has a nice terrace area if the weather is nice. They have also been showing the football here - so I assume they will be showing major sporting events this summer, however the screens are not there all the time. In fact it seems people come to use Alex as a coffee shop / laptop hangout with its free wifi - I spotted a few people working on a mid week night.

The food is above average and for any American tourist, the breakfast buffet offers a lot of familiar foods plus the opportunity to try some German specialties. There is a cereals/pastry/breads section with fresh-baked goods, yogurt and homemade jams. I appreciate the wide assortment of savory foods as I'm not a sweet breakfast person: hot foods might include eggs, bacon, sausage, soups, curry while cold foods include deli meats, salads, smoked trout, lox. The buffet comes with orange juice and is reasonably priced at 13 euros (our hotel was asking 25 euros for a breakfast buffet). They have both outdoor and indoor seating areas, which are both very nice and comfortable for lounging and lingering.
