Café Concordia — Restaurant in Bremen

Place is popular, better reserve a place in advance, we were happy not to wait too long to get a table for two :) We had a Vegan Mezzeteller and P&J pancakes. Mezzeteller was very nice, but it could use an extra slice of bread/bagel, because the ratio of dips to bread was a bit not even, so that some of it was wasted. Dips were nice, but so called „Pink Hummus“ (beetroot sauce idk), was too plain and boring in a taste, it didn’t really go with everything else from the plate. Additionally, we took Chai Latte with homemade Sirup and big cappuccino. Chai latte was amazing, strongly reminded me of Indian Masala Chai, but cappuccino was disappointing. It had an uneven dark foam on the top, right after it was prepared, which meant that it’s gonna be a bitter coffee, and so it was. It was okay, but later I could also feel how sour the espresso was, which was not a good feature. Maybe they didn’t check their espresso in a while, or just overdo mine, or it could also be a poor mixing technique. But overall, food was good, staff is really cool and charming, they try their best during the heavy hours, and we loved the...

We chose this place for a Sunday breakfast as tourists, and it was indeed quite busy — you may need to wait to find a seat.

The café is self-service, so you have to go to the counter to place your order. Around noon, there were lines of about 5–6 people just to order breakfast. Once your food is ready, a buzzer goes off and you pick up your tray — like a fast food / burger restaurant. After eating, you’re expected to leave your tray in the dish rack — similar to a cafeteria. This service style isn’t something we’re very used to in cafés 🙄

For breakfast, I had the Sweet & Salty, and my husband chose the Eggs Benedict. The Eggs Benedict was tasty and similar to what you’d find in many cafés like this. The Sweet & Salty plate was quite filling and also delicious! I especially liked the taste of the herbed cream cheese. The sesame bagel was also nice. If you’re not very hungry, this plate could easily satisfy two people! 👍🏼

Their coffee was good as well. The interior decor of the place looked...

Good coffee, nice food, horrible organization and almost pretentious service! Why don’t you change it?

I find it interesting to see how many people complain about the organization, the service and the wait times. It almost feels like they are not using modern technology such as an online-reservation tool for some tables in order to keep the queue outside as long as possible and create the picture of high demand and being hip. It’s frankly just annoying and so many people are complaining about it - so I wonder why they don’t change it. The coffee and food are good and thoughtful and mostly worth the high price, but tainted by the overall experience. All of this, including seeing people standing out in the cold completely diminished the otherwise nice atmosphere.

Only upside: you can buy great locally roasted coffee beans there with one lady being very knowledgeable and happy to help! Thanks again! Best thing: you can just walk in to buy it and don’t...
