Café Zeitgeist — Restaurant in Munich

Its a nice enough cafe with friendly servers and popular enough that a reservation is a smart idea so you don't have to wait (especially when its cold outside).

As for the food, I liked about half of what I got, even though it was pretty basic. I got the breakfast board and I liked the idea and presentation of it more than the execution. It looked like it was their most popular order, but it felt like they could have put more love into it, as you are getting many options but they are simple and of course small portions of each item you choose. I was stuffed by the end, but I wouldn't say I was completely satisfied.

Let me explain - First, both my friend and I ordered pretzels but they gave us bread instead because they were out, but they didn't offer us something else in advance. I enjoyed the bread, but I do think that they should still have told us when they put the order in or at least before the food came out with something else on the plate. Next, the pancake was just a single small, cold pancake without any syrup or sauce. It felt really lazy. The smoothie bowl was room temp, with a watery and gritty texture which was really off-putting. It just tasted of watery mashed blueberries, with granola at the bottom - which is also super odd. Putting the granola at the bottom only makes it soggy and mixes it in with the smoothie vs getting a little in each bite. Lastly, the avocado was still pretty green which made it nearly impossible to mash on the toast. Instead we just had to eat it in chunks and it was pretty bland. It would've been nice to have a little herbs or spices or something more with it. I think the prices are fine if they put just a bit more effort in, but as it is now, its not really worth it because I could go to the grocery store and buy everything I got for half the price, throw it on a platter and it'd be no different.

The chai oat milk latte was pretty tasty, although quite pricey imo.

Overall, I'd go back if I was in the area and something better wasn't available, but I wouldn't...

the restaurant/cafe is very cozy with modern interior and a great selection of breakfast items, cakes, coffee, burgers, bowls, drinks and salads at average munich prices and with really good vegetarian and vegan options. however, the menus themselves come cheaply laminated and frayed on clipboards, the tables aren't properly cleaned between customers, there is a long queue outside the door in the cold prior to getting a table and, this is the thing I genuinely need to criticize: the whole place is crammed, really loud and way too close to all the other mask-less sitting customers. yes, they check whether you're vaccinated against covid at the door, but that doesn't eradicate the possibility of being infected. and inside this restaurant, you start to doubt the existence of a global pandemic. it's WAY TOO full. no wonder case numbers are still this high. the food and drinks we had were honestly good and their young staff very friendly, but this is a deal-breaker for me. they should really reduce capacity. if we'd known it would be so crowded, we wouldn't have come, but it's not visible from outside due to all the plants in front of the closed windows. also, the restroom was really dirty during our visit (with a lit scented candle underneath the sink on the floor which is an odd way to combat smells in...

I came here with the suggestion of "Yolda bi Blog". The venue is located on Türkenstraße. I suggest you come in the evening because they turn on the Italian-like lights and the ambiance is much nicer. The interior is nice but I chose to sit at the big brick tables outside. Service was very fast. I paid around 16 euros for 3 side dishes and a drink. I can say that I got up from the table full. Let's interpret the food and drinks separately. The sweet potato fries were fresh and flavorful, with a little bit of oiliness, but good taste. Crispy chicken fries could be a little more spicy, zaziki was my favourite, it should definitely be one of your choices. It definitely balances the oil taken from the frying. I preferred lemonade as a drink, but it was transparent in color and more like cold water with sugar. I couldn't feel the lemon taste. I recommend you to try cocktails as a drink, people were usually drinking cocktails. Toilet was clean could be cleaner.

Thank you for the pleasant meal. What I remember was the ambiance of the environment and its wonderful...
