Stadtcafé — Restaurant in Hann. Münden

To be clear we only had two bowls of soup, a chai tea, and a hot chocolate! 15EUR (not bad for homemade quality food and drink, read further...)

This place had many cakes on display as you enter, so maybe that is their specialty, and reason for some good reviews and stars. Regardless, a place riding the backs of one item to then slip you extremely poor quality items at an exorbitant price feels like an utter scam and disrespect for their customers and their services.

Specifically, I ordered the goulash soup and my wife the tomato soup. Both came with a standard bakery bun, but at 4.90EUR each we looked forward to a nice, piping hot, and homemade quality soup. Especially, in an environment that was cozy and filled with people, chalk boards nicely placed around the room listing quality sounding dishes and suggesting a regular selection of specials (oven potatoes with quark and lox, rice pudding, salad with fried turkey, strammer max, etc.). Instead, both of our soups were heated canned soup. My hot chocolate was from a machine, although I have to say I have had much worse machine hot chocolate, this item being the best of our order. The Indian Chai Tea at 3EUR was a bag tea, the worst chai my wife or I have had, to the point that she did not drink it. It had a bit of a flavor, just nothing spicy or like chai.

Further below, I demonstrate for the unaware or those requiring proof that it was canned soup, however to close up this review overall, we would never expect to be served canned soup in a cafe unless it was a truck stop/fuel station cafe, showing the obvious signs that you are getting quick and cheaply prepared items. To be served it in the setting of the town's old city square, by a seemingly well-established and popular cafe, that dressed itself up as a cozy establishment serving fine cakes and drinks with unique light dishes, was a complete abuse of our trust. One expects what they get from a McDonald's or Tim Horton type place, the message is clear, but that was the quality we received from this place and it did everything to hide that. In hindsight there are signs (5 soups permanently on the menu, eisberg lettuce for salads, content of menu was same as chalkboards), but so much was done otherwise to paint a different picture that when we are busy with our mind elsewhere they reeled us in perfectly.

I grew up as a small boy with the cupboards stocked full of canned soup, but I have not chosen to eat that since I was in my teens. Goulash: Diced vegetables and meat pieces, all of the same shape and mushy texture, prepared some eons ago such that the soup's sour/sweet/salty (unique disgusting flavour of most tomato-based canned soups) sauce has penetrated and dominated the meat and vegetables. This leaving you with no experience of the individual flavors and textures, and instead just turned off by an undesirable taste and mush in the mouth. Then the single mushroom you find in your soup really hits it home, with its slimy coating and squishy consistency. A freshly cut mushroom, or even cut and added a week prior will never quite achieve that horrible experience that canned soup can give it. That is the thing with canned soup, it is consistent! Everything tastes and feels the same, horrible and without care for food or...

The service is very bad, the woman who served me is impolite and you get a bit of racism in her tone and actions ! Never again !! When I wanted to pay, and i asked for the bill, she assumed that i would pay with cash when i told her i want to pay with card, she started saying that it s not possible i asked why because a man before just paid with card, she told me because he has a german card and i was like 😐😐😐 i said i also have german card 😐😐😐 The sweets nor the breakfast arent that good either. Not...

Ein überteuertes, geiziges kleines Café! Unten sieht es nett aus, aber halt eher wie so eine kleine Mensa. Oben ist es, zugegeben, sehr schön eingerichtet! Das alles rechtfertigt nicht mein erlebtes heute morgen. Sie sind sehr nett, aber eher oberflächlich. Es wird auch nicht gefragt ob alles ok ist und ob es schmeckt. Die Kollegen unterhalten sich laut durch den ganzen Laden und man fühlt sich wie auf dem Bahnhof.. andem man nichts will und nur wartet. Es läuft auch keine leise Hintergrundmusik, weshalb man von jedem Gespräch alles mitbekommt. Der Hammer sind aber die Preise und das Frühstück, welches man nicht wirklich Frühstück nennen kann. Bestellt wurde ein Good morning Frühstück für 8,50 €. Nun kann man denken, ja ist doch gar nicht so teuer. Falsch! Dieses Frühstück beinhaltet für 2 Brötchen (welche Sorte wir uns nicht aussuchen durften) 1 Päckchen 20 gr Butter! Einen Löffel Marmelade ( wieder keine eigene Wahl) und drei Scheiben Camembert. Ein Ei. Wir haben uns noch ein extra Rührei bestellt, welches lächerlich klein war, so das wir lachen mussten! Weil das Frühstück zu wenig Marmelade und zu wenig Butter enthielt hab ich jeweils 1 nachbestellt. 20gr Butter! 1,80 € !!!!! Einen zweiten Löffel Marmelade 2,10 €. Über den Kaffee über 3,60 € kann man streiten, das geht aber klar! Die machen das Geld mit dem nicht ausreichenden Frühstück plus labrige Gurken und Tomatenscheiben... Wir kommen...
