Very recommended for vegetarians!

Unperfecthouse is one of the coolest places I have visited anywhere in the world. It is part bar,…read morepart hang out, part art gallery, part bar, and all you can eat buffet serving everything from traditional German food, to Latin food, and Vegan/Vegetarian offerings. I was with a large group from the Uni-Essen and we had the party room on the second floor. The other plus was that the "all you can eat" came with all the beer you can drink as well. This was a cool place to have a party for sure. Now it was mainly university folks but young kids came in and ate, drank beer, surfed the Internet, played music and there are many rooms in this sprawling place to eat, mingle, and basically hang out. The Men's bathroom is famous for its scrolling films on the walls. The website lists all sorts of other things going on in this mixed-use-space, but after hanging out here, drinking a few good beers, and eating all sorts of amazing cheap food, I have to say I was happy our hosts brought us here. All I can say is wow. Now, I have no idea what it is like if you are a solo traveler who happens to be in Essen, but I think it would still be a great bet for a place to eat (take your time) have a few beers, check the email with the free wi-fi, and take advantage of this unique space. If I had the money I would open a place like this in the USA. Think Warhol's Factory without all the creepy people and with good food.

Oh my....I believe I just fell in love!…read more I stumbled across this jewel of a coffee shop early one morning and decided to make this my new haven during my stay here in Mülheim. This place caught my eye immediately and I simply HAD to enter - once I did, I was blown away by the interieur. It's situated in a small side street just off the Schloßstraße, with plenty of seats outside - it doesn't look like too much from the outside (apart from just cute), but have a look inside!!! This must seriously be the coziest spot in this entire town! The atmosphere is truly great, very friendly and homely, the staff is absolutely nice and attentive. It might take a little longer because there's usually just one or two people behind the counter, juggling all the coffee-making and food preparation while taking new orders at the same time, but it's definitely worth the wait! The coffee is good - as in, really good! Apart from that, there is a huge selection of drinks, some also come with a certain 'kick' (as in alcohol, duh!). The food is scrumptious and quite exceptional, it's all homemade, and I am sure I saw some vegetarian/vegan choices as well. I tried one of the homemade cookies (chocolate-coconut) and it was without a doubt the best cookie I have tried in years!!! There's a variety of breakfast dishes to chose from as well. This is one of the places, where I am absolutely certain that my words cannot even come close to describing the "amazingness" of the location - so you'll just have to take my word for it: if you ever end up in Mülheim, try this café! You won't regret it! Bottom line: * Coziest café in this godforsaken town... * Feels like home... *...and they serve excellent coffe here!... *...and those cookies!!! *drool* * Try this place!! * And the cookies...no joke!
