Cafe Hegel — Restaurant in Stuttgart

We had brunch at Café Hegel on a Saturday with a group of friends, drawn by its reputation for great pastries. The food was overall okay - I had the Truffle Omelette with Parmigiano, which was tasty but not particularly memorable. Some of my friends had Perfect Egg Bagels, Classic Breakfast or Eggs Benedict that looked quite good.

Unfortunately, despite having made a reservation for a larger group, there was no adequately prepared table waiting for us when we arrived. We got seats for 6 and had to rearrange and extend the seating further ourselves, which was a bit inconvenient.

The café was also very busy and seemed clearly understaffed, with only two waiters trying to manage a full house. Most of our group waited over 30 minutes just to get their drinks. So if you're planning to visit on a weekend, bring some patience - or try coming on a quieter day.

For a coffee, cigarette, drink, nice comfortable talk - great lication, great place, for a food choose a different...

Lovely staff, good coffee, nice looking breakfast. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to taste it. I ordered granola yogurt with fruits and berries and almost immediately found a molded blueberry there. I asked the staff to remake it, showing the reason for it. 10 minutes later I received a new one, even bigger and more beautiful. But this time I found a molded grape there :(

UPDATE: A few days later I received a message from Google that the owner of the establishment tried to delete my review by marking it as "slander". This is outrageous! Instead of solving the problem, they are simply trying to delete "unwanted" reviews! Fortunately, at least Google was on the side of arguments...
