ALEX in Chemnitz

Service, food, and drinks = top-notch! 🫡👍 The tip for the two waiters was well-deserved. 😄 P.S. And thanks to the waiter from the restaurant next door who made me wait 20 minutes after ordering my drinks and then couldn't offer me any more food... 🫣👍 So I headed over to "Alex" and had a delicious evening! 🤤😀

When I asked how much the croissants cost, they told me they were free. However, I asked if there was a plate I could take a croissant from. They just told me I didn't have one, with an expression on my face like I was a homeless person asking for a piece of bread. The staff rolled their eyes as if I were bored, even though it was the first time I'd seen them. So I gave the staff a 0.

The tea isn't good, but the rest was great

It’s a super nice and cosy place. The drinks and food are also quite good and it has long opening hours. The only thing I can say against it is that the staff is always very slow. Maybe they need more people because it is always very busy. Ah, also, it’s a bit pricey.

The waitress Olga! So unfriendly, such a disaster... Simply a shame!!! I've been going to Alex's in Chemnitz for over 10 years. I've never experienced such a lady! She's the reason I don't like going there and go less often...

Yeah, quite nice, but loud and very small portions of food - rather disappointing.

I've been to Alex again and it's always worth a visit. The service was very friendly. Drinks and food arrived promptly. The ambiance, both inside and out, was very clean and well-maintained. Online reservations are recommended, as Alex is always very busy. Otherwise, it's great. I can always go back.

Sehr gemütlich und leckeres Essen.....Schade das es Alex nicht in Hessen gibt

Late lunch on September 10th – falafel bowl, and on September 11th – all-you-can-eat breakfast. Very tasty and varied menu. Excellent value for money. The staff was super friendly and attentive on both days.

Service was friendly, but unfortunately overwhelmed. It looked great on the menu, but not quite so in person. Quality was mediocre.

Good, delicious food...the service was busy and not always available

Very friendly service and incredibly delicious🤤

Beautiful place, right in front of the market square.....

The perfect location for spontaneous family get-togethers or just to catch up on some business. ☕️👍

I waited ten minutes for my tea. The croissant I ordered was never served. When I paid, no apology for the oversight was offered.

A pleasant, modern place with appropriate amenities.

Despite breakfast becoming much more expensive over the last two years, the quality and, above all, the quantity of the food on offer has deteriorated. We were there yesterday, and there was only one sausage platter instead of the usual two. The fried potatoes didn't taste as good as usual and were lukewarm. And otherwise, it's always the same old offerings, with no variety or surprises. The place is pretty run-down and needs a renovation; the chairs are stained, the tables are sticky, and the restrooms aren't up to scratch either. The staff is mostly friendly, though.

A traditional restaurant, not just for its breakfast buffet. Highly recommended.

Sunday brunch was very varied and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. One deduction because, unfortunately, the drinks were rarely refilled.

The service was disappointing. The waitresses were rude and showed little respect, which made the whole experience unpleasant. Would not recommend.

Super friendly staff! Very child- and baby-friendly 😊 The food was also very well prepared. The atmosphere inside and out was great! The only downside for me would be the beer selection.

Actually, it's a great place in Chemnitz to enjoy the sunshine in the city center. If the right staff is there, it's fine. But lately, the wait times for everything have been getting worse. It takes an unnecessary amount of time for someone to take your order. It takes forever for the drinks to arrive, etc. The wait for the food, on the other hand, is great in comparison... It's a real shame. Today, for example, is Monday, early afternoon.

We’ve been going here every once every month for the breakfast / brunch and it’s always awesome. Kind service staff, great food selection and fair prices. Main meals are also delicious although a bit pricier. Overall a great experience every time.

A side dish was forgotten during the meal and it didn't taste particularly good. I wouldn't recommend it for eating but it's nice to have a drink there.

Bit expensive but overall totally fine!

Always happy to go! Whenever we visit Karl Marx Stadt, it's become a tradition to go to Alex. Everything is just perfect: service, food, etc. I'd give it 10⭐+🙌

We've eaten at Alex several times and I'm always impressed. There's something for everyone, and the food is always delicious. The service is excellent and very friendly. Today, Sarah served us and made our evening even more special. Thank you! We'll be back.

I went to Alex with my girls today to unwind a bit from the evening. Sarah was our waitress, a really lovely lady. We felt very comfortable and, thanks to her, had a wonderful evening. Thank you so much, and we'd love to come back.

We were lucky and got a table for two for breakfast without a reservation. Upon request, we were given delicious gluten-free rolls (they were defrosted specially, which took a moment).

We went for Sunday brunch. The selection was very extensive and delicious. The items were constantly being refilled. The price was reasonable for us. The only thing I missed was a simple natural yogurt. We enjoyed ourselves and will definitely come back.

Good service and food also quite good, good opening hours but unfortunately relatively expensive

a bit overrated. The waiters seemed bored, the coffee was warm, the tables dirty... listless

I'm absolutely appalled by the drink prices...we were there last night and I had two large Kiba and a pasta dish...when I asked why I should pay €35 for that, I was told that a large Kiba costs €8.60!!! It was juice, not a cocktail or wine... That's not even stated on the menu. It was my last time there. That price is an absolute disgrace in my opinion!

Café Alex – In the Heart of Chemnitz 📍 Neumarkt 2, 09111 Chemnitz, Germany I visited Café Alex in Chemnitz and was truly impressed. This café boasts a central location directly opposite the church at Neumarkt, right in the city center. It's a perfect place for breakfast, lunch, coffee, or simply a quick break from everyday life – with a beautiful view of the heart of the city. I was particularly pleasantly surprised by the wide selection on the menu, which truly offers something for everyone: sweet and savory dishes, vegetarian options, small snacks, hearty breakfast offerings, and a diverse selection of hot and cold drinks. Whether you're looking for a quick bite to eat or a relaxing break – both are possible here. The ambiance is very cozy and inviting. The interior is modern, tasteful, and warmly lit – ideal for relaxing. The tables are generously spaced, allowing you to sit quietly and chat. In the warmer months, you can also sit outside and enjoy the atmosphere of the square. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the service overall was very pleasant. You can tell that the work here is done with passion. Another plus point is the excellent accessibility. Located right in the city center, Café Alex is easily accessible on foot or by public transport. In summary, I can say: Café Alex is definitely worth a visit – whether alone, with friends, or family. Here, quality meets location, variety meets comfort. I'll definitely be back!

Service not really fast or swift. It just got there eventually. Foodchoice normal.

Nice place with a good service and delicous food. Highly recommended when you visit Chemnitz

Top service, the boss was a mouse

Very loud when fully operational, therefore one star deduction

We visited the restaurant on July 4, 2025. We had made a reservation in advance, which proved to be a sensible idea. It was packed. We had a seat inside and could look out through the open windows onto the beer garden, market square, and town hall. The spot was even better than one outside. Very friendly, courteous, and attentive service. The food was varied according to the menu. We enjoyed it. Our expectations were met. We highly recommend the Alex. Thanks to the team.

Most depressing Caesar salad for 13€, literally just a small portion of salad and tomato, small pile of cheese, and cheap Caesar dressing. No croutons, no chicken, no garlic. Better off getting a salad from Subway

I've been there a few times. I have to say, the food is okay, but the quality has declined somewhat. A few weeks ago, I was there in the evening with some friends. It's always very pleasant here in the evenings, as all the staff are very relaxed and relaxed. Special mention goes to Jenni. She's such a lovely person and did everything she could to make us feel good and comfortable. Next time I'm there, I hope she'll be our lovely waitress again.

Update 5/21/25 At our son's request, we went to Alex for the first time in a long time. After a short wait, a table outside was available. The very friendly waiter served us immediately. We ordered food and drinks. The quality of the food has definitely improved, even if it's a bit more expensive. But when the quality is good, you're happy to pay a little more. The waiter told us there's a new chef. 👍🏻 So keep up the good work, we'll be back. 😊

Unfortunately, spontaneous breakfast isn't possible in Chemnitz. It's 8:30 a.m. on weekdays. The entire place is empty. When I asked if I could just sit anywhere with my companion, I was laughed at and told that everything was reserved except for one spot, right next to the restrooms. Thanks, I'll gladly spend my money elsewhere. By the way, when I said I didn't like that and would rather go to another restaurant, they didn't even say goodbye.

Besøgte stedet, da det var et af de få steder der havde åbent søndag aften. Maden ganske udmærket. Betjeningen gennemsnitlig.

The food was excellent. The service was fast and friendly, even though it was busy. It's a lovely place to sit outside with a view of the New Town Hall.

Delicious, friendly service, great atmosphere, extensive menu, the homemade lemonades are great, everything is clean;

Leckeres Essen, viel Auswahl, freundliche Bedienung, Preise sind hoch, aber noch im Rahmen. Nett zum Sitzen und Leute beobachten.

I'll start by saying that we arrived without a reservation and late but asking costs nothing and answering is courtesy. And they made us sit down. Good food, good raw materials but the service and courtesy were not at home because the waiter who greeted us rudely and left us rudely. It's okay that not knowing the language makes everything more difficult but "courtesy and education" in this job must come first.

I've always loved Alex, but the prices have skyrocketed. Charging €11.20 for a freshly squeezed orange juice is outrageous.

Ja War eben mit meiner Familie dort zum frühen Nachmittag und die Bedienung sowie das Essen war echt Hervorragend. Großes Lob!

Tasty, but the service is very slow, they see that I am sitting, smile and pass by, although there are few people. Very sad, in Leipzig it is completely different

Asked 3 times to pay and after 35 minutes it was possible, quite annoying

Highly recommended! Everyone is very nice! The food is delicious! Roman is the best waiter!! He should get more tips!

Very good food. They have delicious lemonades.

Today's hat festival was very well attended. A huge compliment to the staff for their friendly service. As always, they had a smile 😃 on their faces, and they were calm and professional. Thank you for being there! Many people in the hospitality industry could learn a thing or two from you! We'll be sure to come back! Stay healthy!

Sorry, but if the food comes before the drinks, something's probably wrong. We had to ask several times before we finally got our food, after a very long wait. The cheeseburger has tasted tastier in the past.

Food has declined considerably.

Definitely recommend it, would buy again.

Delicious food, fast service, and super pleasant staff (thanks - Samira!), who also patiently accommodated our special requests :-) We'll be back!

I really enjoy brunch here. It's always delicious. A good selection, and the service is very friendly. You should reserve a spot for brunch, even during the week!

Very nice location with space for big groups. Food was delicious! I had the salmon bowl with extra rice, perfect! Price reasonable for location with dishes starting around 15EUR

hallo leider muss man sagen das man auf das essen sehr lange warten muss, die Bedienung ist sehr Freundlich, Außer so eine mit Braunen haaren Circa 1,70 groß sie war echt unfreundlich zu uns sie meinte wie so sie kein Trinkgeld bekommen hatte .das fanden wir sehr komisch . aber sonst war es sehr schön immer wieder gern abends das war gestern 17.05.2025 liebe Grüße

We reserved a table 2 hours before we went. When we arrived at Alex, no one noticed us, but luckily there were some free tables, so we were pushed together a bit. My friends' drinks were great, they tried different lemonades and they were all delicious. I had a large apple juice... Then we would have ordered food, everyone had something different. The food came pretty quickly and looked extremely tasty. All my friends also liked it really well, but my pasta was only lukewarm and it didn't taste so good anymore with the pesto because, in my opinion, something like that just has to be hot. Unfortunately, no one came to check whether we liked it, so I ate as much as I could. There were good portions that definitely fill you up. When our plates were cleared, we mentioned it, but there was no real reaction at first. We then wanted to pay and it was mentioned that my meal had been canceled, it actually didn't have to come to that because I ate most of it, but of course I'm still grateful. I then asked for an invoice because we wanted to split it between ourselves. When I took a closer look at the bill, I noticed that I paid almost €9 (€8.60) for my large apple juice and I think the menu said €6.40, but we didn't say anything else and then left. I hope that if there is a next time it will be better

Recently went to Alex for brunch with a friend. The waiter only brought us the first few drinks, after which we were at a loss for him. We sat there for over three hours. We weren't asked if we wanted anything else or if everything was okay. Our hand signals were ignored because no waiter looked in our direction. When we wanted to pay, we were mistaken for new guests and were told: "Just sit down somewhere." Thanks, but NEVER again!

I like coming here. Always tastes good 😋

Totally delicious 🤤 you can eat everything there 😁 again and again 😊

The croissant with avocado, poached egg and hollandaise sauce was to die for 🥰

Our granddaughter took us to this restaurant. The staff, all of them, were super friendly and always concerned about the well-being of the guests. The food was great, had wrap, tarte flambée and schnitzel. The selection of cakes was very inviting, but we were really very filling. The drinks with special requests were delicious. Toilets were clean, pleasant music was playing quietly. The tables were wiped down occasionally, but were still a bit sticky. The armchairs were comfortable, but not entirely clean either. Nevertheless, always happy and happy to recommend.

Spontaneously went to eat and get a seat, even though time was limited due to the next reservation. No problem with that, food was very good.

Tomato soup was great. Alex burger as well. Location is very good, but it is a bit pricey

Waitress totally unfriendly, drinks came twice with a 37 minute wait

Ali is a very hard-working waiter and is always polite

The ALEX is a nice restaurant but unfortunately there are a few shortcomings. I had brunch with my daughter today. It was very tasty and the selection was very good. We had our table against a wall and when we looked around we discovered a lot of ants on the wall that came to us right up to the table. We had this problem years ago. It wasn't appetizing. And when we finished our brunch at 11 a.m., a waitress came to us and asked us if we wanted to pay now, even though the brunch lasted until 12 p.m. We somehow felt like we had been thrown out. "You don't eat anything anymore so you can pay and leave" even though there were still enough free seats at 11 a.m. Our next brunch will definitely not take place at Alex, as we were too annoyed about the two deficiencies.

Worst restaurant I've ever seen, there was hair on my food that looked like pubic hair, there was dandruff on it, and the waiter complained that I tipped him €2 instead of €5. Food was bad, as I said, there were dandruff on it

Food was delicious, drink selection was very large and tasty. Service very nice. I find value for money a bit weak.

A very bad restaurant, after an hour they kicked us out because we were having fun with each other as a group. Two police cars were waiting outside. I do not recommend it, if you go as a decent group, you will definitely not have fun here

Service slow. The toilets smell like a manure pit. We were having fun and chatting and after an hour they brought us the bill and we had to leave. A person goes there to relax after a whole day, a very bad experience, I don't recommend it

Brunch is recommended. There is a selection of sweet and savory breakfasts. The lunch selection wasn't that plentiful. However, you can fill up with the breakfast offer. The staff is very friendly. We'd love to come back again.

Well, what can you say. 15.40 euros for a breakfast (it used to be with as much coffee as you wanted) is not cheap. They advertise a lot of vegetarian food. Well, there wasn't that much. For half a roll with a bit of sausage and a little scrambled eggs. Way too expensive. My daughter a roll with chocolate spread and a cocoa cost us a total of 39 euros. We don't even pay that much in Mallorca if we had breakfast there, but in Chemnitz at Alex. Several complained because there were no plates. Only then did we get going. Before I got the coffee, which you had to pay extra for, it took almost half an hour. The cocoa too. The selection used to be better and cheaper. For me, I have come to a conclusion. I'll never go there again. Every bakery around the corner is much better and cheaper. For just under 16 lattes per person, no one can eat that. And then you pay the price for the coffee and cocoa. No, we'll never go there again and I can't recommend it to anyone. From a gastronomic point of view, it was complete chaos. Never again !!! Calculatively a usury. Ind what was awesome. In front of me at the bacon was a little girl. Something fell down and an employee came and threw it back in. So very tasty. Never again.!!!!

We were here for breakfast on Wednesday and enjoyed the buffet. Varied and simply good

Dear Capital of Culture residents, you'll definitely get your money's worth at this place. The friendly atmosphere and flexible approach to meeting your needs leave nothing to be desired. The beer is also top-notch :)

It's always nice to be here. It tastes excellent, whether for breakfast, main course or dessert.

Friendly service, super delicious food, and decent value for money. Highly recommended.

Delicious breakfast. Large selection. Friendly service.

Delicious food and great ambience. Today I was at Alex Chemnitz and was very satisfied with the friendly service...

I was at the restaurant with my wife during the week around 5:00 p.m. At this time the restaurant was about 1/4 full. The employee assigned us a seat not far from the counter and then simply ignored us for half an hour. The four employees chatted at the counter during this time. Despite some eye contact, none of them thought to come to our table to take an order. Since we had to pick up our son from the sports class at 6:15 p.m., we left around 5:30 p.m.

You can have a delicious, plentiful and varied breakfast here in a pleasant atmosphere. And all of this for a fairly reasonable price.

It was very nice here 👍 The service was very friendly and the food was delicious😊

Delicious food, very nice staff, we would love to come back :)

Service astronomically good! :)

Staff friendly, quick, restaurant oasis of well-being, had lunch today, had the weekly special of mashed potatoes with cream sauce and turkey slices, the food was a disaster, salty and extremely spicy, I thought it was a candied meal, even though I wanted to eat in a restaurant, the mashed potatoes were not fresh, I had the feeling that it had been processed out of the packaging. I also told the nice waitress everything and she wanted to pass this on. The price of 8.90 euros for the weekly offer was not justified. Then you should also sort out the dishes - the plate where the lunch was was had broken out over a large area on the edge of the plate.

Chic location, great today in March 2025 with a mild 15 degrees in the sun. Delicious food and drink. We treated ourselves to some deliciously prepared fries and a César salad with chicken breast.

Yes, ideal for brunch. The service was very friendly. We were with a large group of 30 people and were served very well. The food was very tasty.

In terms of value for money, it's simply great. All you can eat breakfast buffet with a really large selection! Upon request there was also a plate with a selection of vegan breakfast items. That was great.

Very pleasant atmosphere...excellent food. Unpleasant behavior of an employee, which negatively marks the restaurant.

Went there spontaneously for breakfast and were given a table by the friendly staff. In my opinion, the buffet leaves nothing to be desired and there is nothing wrong with the quality. 👍

Maximilian was super nice, always took time for us and delivered our food really quickly. 5☆

High prices, small portions, otherwise ok.

It was a pleasant stay today after a long time. Service was excellent and friendly. Also the food has tasted super delicious. That really puts you in a good mood for next time... Highly recommended a 👍 highly.😉

Yes, we can recommend it. I haven't been with Alex for a long time. Apparently a lot has happened. It was very nice there
