Great little breakfast spot. Let me tell you, this place alone is worth the trip to Krefeld. The…read moreinside is very old. But well kept. I like the scrambie eggs. Also the cakes are tasty. Great coffee. Very cool machine. Prost Colbee

It's nice to be able to practice my German, but feel safe that it's also in English. The words…read moredon't exactly match up and there are still ingredients unfamiliar to the U.S., but as restaurants go, everything was great! Our waitress was nice and patient in us taking our tine. I was in mixed company with locals, so it was fun. The menu acts as from an African experience, but a varied menu from all over the world. I ordered the Greek Burger and the "rocket" (arugula) was amazing. Very fresh and not a skimpy portion. I had to cut my burger and didn't finish my fries. Beer selection was midnight minimal, so I ordered wine. All South African, I chose the Merlot, a good middle ground. I paid with my debit/credit card. She was hesitant, but it worked smoothly.

On December 30 a Friend of mine whom I have not seen in years and myself along with our very…read morerestaurant friendly Dogs went here. She already been to another Cafe del Sol in Mönchengladbach and was very interested in how the Krefeld branch was. We arrived at 3pm and it was hardly busy with a very relaxing and friendly atmosphere. Our waitress was super friendly, caring and attentive. My Beer Glas was never empty for long neither was my friends wine Glas. After I saw some people's order of fries I had to order some myself and they where totally crispy and yummy we later had a half Meter long Pizza with Shrimp.. alsof very nice! Later on some more Waiters attended the ever growing crowd, they also been equally friendly and asked if we had all the drinks we needed or wanted and always an ear for any questions or requests from guests on other tables. My friend and I also noticed how good looking the staff was .. not that good looks are something that makes a good waitress or waiter! The crowed in the place was a very relaxed mix of friends meeting for drinks or dinner, families with kids and or dogs and couples on Dates as well as some folks for Business. I can't wait to go there again in the spring or summer when I'm back in town. Big thanks to the waitress and the rest of the staff making this night out a great experience. The place is very modern and tastefully done inside and out.. for smoking guests they have ashtrays on the porches and you can relax on a swing. Only reason for the missing star is because when it got busy later on it was getting too noisy for my liking but not that bad that I wouldn't return.. it's just the acoustics.
