Mathe-Café — Restaurant in Berlin

I visited three times in the past week. Here was my experience:

First visit: Nobody was at the register despite it being open. Needed to yell for five minutes until the cashier heard me and stopped chatting with the kitchen workers so I could pay for my coffee.

Second visit: One of the workers up front had the WORST body odor you could possibly imagine. Like, you could smell it from a far distance away. I paid for my coffee and ran.

Third visit: My lentil soup that cost 4,50 was still slightly cold. Is that a lot of money? No. But was it only 3,50 one year ago? Yes. I took it back immediately and they put it in the microwave. I now have stomach pains two hours later.

The service and food was never great, but since they reopened after the water damage it has gotten...

This is a cheap establishment. The food is good, but the service not so. They will give you the tinniest thinnest sheet of paper to clean your hands after you eat. After 2:30pm they do not serve dine-in, so they will give you a take away disposable container (which they charge you 30 cents) and a wooden fork to eat.

They always prefer cash, and never give out receipts for the order. Card payments are only allowed if you buy over 4 euros.

Update: The papers have grown, so I'm...

I want to pay with credit cards. It’s absurd how much they have set as the minimum amount to pay with card. Sometimes I just need water! The Uni should allow more private businesses. Come on ppl it’s 21st century. I don’t want to carry any...
