So ein niedliches und wunderschönes Café, wir waren wirklich begeistert Wir sind Mittags dort hingegangen um uns mal anzugucken was das Mehrrettich denn eigentlich so ist und wurden erstmal super lieb empfangen Je nachdem was an dem Tag für gerettete Lebensmittel reinkommen, wird in der Küche auch ein Mittagessen daraus gekocht, als wir dort waren gab es Spargelrisotto und ein Reisgericht mit veganem Geschnetzelten. Dazu haben wir jeweils noch eine kühle Limo getrunken und danach noch einen Chai Latte mit einem geretteten süßen Stückle Alles hat sehr gut geschmeckt Die Atmosphäre in dem Café ist einfach nur herzlich und respektvoll, in gewisser Weise auch entschleunigt weil sich niemand Stress macht und auch niemand am stressen ist. Neben direktem Essen kann man sich dort auch am Verteiler bedienen, wo man sich gerettete Lebensmittel wie Brot, Kartoffeln, Zitronen, Milchpulver und das, was halt an dem Tag reinkommt, einfach so mitnehmen kann. Ganz arg tolles Konzept und es lohnt sich, regelmäßig vorbeizuschauen und dieses wundervolle Café mit Spenden und Empfehlungen zu unterstützen Jeder Tag ist eine kleine Überraschung weil es immer andere leckere Sachen dort gibt, ichvfreu mich schon aufs nächste Mal

Neues Lieblingscafé! Leckere Kaffee und man zahlt soviel wie man kann/möchte. Jeden Tag wird irgendwas neues gebacken oder gekocht, immer aus geretteten Lebensmitteln und immer umsonst! Ganz oft gibt es auch Gemüse, Brötchen und anderes zum Mitnehmen für die WG-Küche. Liebs hier :). Auch zum Arbeiten mega, kein Konsumzwang, stabiles WLAN und einfach unglaublich nette Leute um einen rum!

Great concept: order what you want and pay as much as you can/want :) The food is usually all saved, so it's always a surprise, what you can have, but one could also bring their own food (especially if you have dietary restrictions like gluten free). Staff is super friendly and the room's atmosphere is really comfortable.

We visited randomly, on our way to Austria. Love the idea of the food sharing and paying what you can. It was a bit quiet, it deserves more people!

Such a cool wonderful concept! Came here with partner and kiddos a few times during our holiday to get bread and pretzels and also to play and have a coffee. If we lived here we'd come all the time!
