We got settled in by the window, so we could have a view overlooking the bridge/train station while eating our breakfast! The restaurant was packed for breakfast around 10am, but we were still served in a timely manner. I got a cappuccino (a bit pricey compared to Italy standards, at this German restaurant, it cost 3.20 euros vs. the 1.50 in Italy...) along with a generous stack of pancakes doused in maple syrup and topped with ALL the fruit (apples, pears, dates, dried oranges, almond slices...). There were also some random grapefruit slices that I kept off to the side. Even though it seemed like "a lot of sweet", I didn't leave a morsel behind. The pancakes were not too fluffy and not too dense...they even had some light crispiness to them that was a nice touch. Definitely recommend coming here for breakfast if you arrive in Freiburg in the morning at the train station!

Another Freiburg hipster cafe, this time right on the other side if the train tracks from the…read morealtstadt side. Situated in a residential area an opens at 8 already. I was there at 8.30ish and compared to cafes in Stockholm (or other large Swedish cities) it was quite empty. Giving the impression that Germans seem less keen on having breakfasts out. The different breakfasts I chose were really lovely in their own way. No1 was coffee of choice, freshly squeezed orange juice and breadroll with hummus and marinated artichokes. Lots of flavours and very very filling so lunch wasn't really an option that day. The no2 breakfast on the menu was coffee of choice, fresh juice and fruit muesli with non-dairy milk products of choice. Nice and breakfasty as expected. Unfortunately the coffee was the only negative both days, most cafes that use soy milk in Germany do it very well, Huber doesn't quite master the art and the soy cappuccino resp latte had an unfortunate soy tang. (Different baristas.) I would have loved to try their lunch options too, but time didn't permit. Also beware that the kitchen is open in the middle of the cafe and the ventilation isn't very effective. Your clothes and hair will most likely smell of fried onion and cabbage when you leave the place after breakfast. Friendly staff. Cash only.

The salmon is super fresh, and comes with horseradish and capers. The bread basket comes with bread + croissant per person. It also comes with fresh butter, marmalade, and honey.

The combo breakfast also comes with a hard boiled egg (still shelled) and a soft boiled egg. I was super happy with my breakfast, and the service was really quick.

Definitely something for everyone. (Check them out on Instagram, their locations are all super trendy and fun!) We stuck to baked goods & pastries (especially Black Forest Cake because we were essentially in the Black Forest, although here it's called Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte and Bavarian pretzels, because, well, when in Rome). We also had a sesame croissant, pretty pink donuts, and a crumble bar too. We were all supper satisfied! The cake was moist and filled with alcohol soaked cherries. The pretzel was perfectly salted and the croissant was glistening with butter, fluffy and flaky. We also grabbed some of their incredible breads and donuts for the road. They did not disappoint either. The espresso, which complimented the goods perfectly was strong and delish. The fresh apple tea iced was incredible and memorable!! I would love to know how to recreate it at home. It was so naturally sweet even unsweetened and felt like it should be served warm on a fall day, but was perfect and refreshing, served iced on a hot summer day. There's tons of towering Sammie's, parfaits, fruit cups and salads. Honestly, such a variety. I loved the jam and bread cutting station! The place was packed on a weekday for a morning rush, but the line moved swiftly and once we were seated outside we relaxed. Free lot parking. Cash only. Cannot recommend enough!

My visit was in glum, rainy October though, so inside was the only option. Simple but rather delightful interior, consisting of fleemarket finds and diy furniture. Very limited food options and cakes. I had a lovely vegan breakfast sandwich with tofu (there was a cheese option too) and the best soy latte I had on this trip. So all good on the food front for me anyway. Great wifi (which is a rare thing, at least in this part of Germany). Friendly service of few words. But really, crazy that they don't take credit cards only cash in 2016! Heard of iZettle?

When we asked why it was taking so long the response was "there is nothing I can do". No smiles. No apologies. Nothing. They did not even bring water for 45 minutes. Completely unacceptable. In other countries this restaurant would close down. If there had been an apology or explanation it would have really helped. But the attitude we received was enraging. The COVID excuse is wearing thin. If you don't have the staff don't take as many reservations. Will not be going back.

Ich bin Freiburger und habe das Schlosscafe immer sehr gemocht. Leider habe ich heute am Geburtstag…read moremeiner Mutter eine Erfahrung gemacht, die das geändert hat. Wir waren mit 7 Kindern da. Nach der Bestellung sassen wir 45 Minuten geduldig an einem leeren Tisch rum, noch nicht einmal Wasser oder Kaffee weit und breit. Aber das war nicht das schlimme. Das schlimme: als ich höflich nachgefragt habe, ob es denn möglich sei, mal wenigstens Wasser für die Kinder zu bringen, hat unsere Bedienung immer wieder nur gesagt: "ich kann nichts machen". Es ist verständlich, dass aufgrund von Personalmangel nach Corona Engpässe und auch mal Wartezeiten entstehen. Aber wenn man Reservierungen annimmt und Gäste empfängt, sollte schon ein Minimum Standard an Service gewahrt bleiben. Die Situation hätte sich durch eine einfache Erklärung/ Entschuldigung schnell abfedern lassen. Aber die arrogante Antwort des Kellners hat dem schlechten Service noch das i-Tüpfelchen aufgesetzt. Als ich im Gespräch später erwähnt habe, dass wir nach dieser enttäuschenden Erfahrung in Zukunft eher wegbleiben, bekam ich die Antwort: "macht nichts, wir sind eh immer voll". Durch die schöne Lage mag das sein. Wenn der Service weiter so unterirdisch ist, wird das aber hoffentlich nicht immer so bleiben. I'm from Freiburg and I've always really liked the Schlosscafe. Unfortunately, today on my mother's birthday, I had an experience that changed that. We were there with 7 children. After ordering, we sat patiently at an empty table for 45 minutes without coffee or any drinks, not even water. But that wasn't the worst thing. The worst thing: when I politely asked if it was possible to at least bring water for the children, our waiter just kept saying: "I can't do anything". It is understandable that due to the lack of staff after Corona, waiting times are higher and providing good service is more difficult. But you accept a reservation and seat guests, a minimum standard of service should be maintained. The situation could have been diffused quickly with a simple explanation/apology. But the waiter's arrogant response was the icing on the cake on the service that was below any acceptable standard. When I mentioned later that we would stay away in the future after this disappointing experience, I got the answer: "It doesn't matter, we're always full anyway". That may be true due to the beautiful location. But if the service continues to be abysmal, it won't always stay that way.

Sadly, the quality of the 'dark brew' ain't what it could be (read: extremely bitter espresso drinks) and that's a shame given how centrally located and charmingly laid out this place is. I'm a sucker for coffee sack-lined walls, funky old light fixtures and solid wood 'steh cafe' tables. To complete a place, however, one needs great product. That's where, at least java-wise, this place falls short of the mark. Props to the young gal who served us. She was so very nice. I'd like to pay for her to go to barista training school. Having said that, it could be a case of not having the best machines to work with, or, at the very least, not having them in the best working order.
