ALEX Potsdam in Potsdam

Had to wait way too long for food, I can make a flamkuche myself in 50 minutes

Went to Alex yesterday and ordered a wrap from the weekly menu. Got a plate with 2 wrap halves without any garnish or anything like that. The whole thing was filled mainly with iceberg lettuce, red beans and tomato pieces. You had to look for the announced chicken pieces... And the whole thing for €13.90, completely overpriced! The waiter was visibly embarrassed when I asked him about it. Too bad! Until then I was actually always quite happy in Alex; that has now changed ☹️

We just had something to drink... everything was good

Breakfast or brunch. Always good 👍🏼

Bad when you wait 30 minutes for a cappuccino.

Good food at fair prices. The service is sometimes one way or the other, but the price-performance ratio is really good and if you want to spend a nice evening with friends there is always enough space.

The food was delicious but the wait was very, very long. The staff was a little overwhelmed by the number of guests. (But always friendly)

Although the prices have almost doubled in the last ten years, I still enjoy going there again and again. Fried potatoes, bacon, scrambled and fried eggs and finally pancakes with warm cherries😋

Friendly and quick... Went there for a coffee and cake. Gladly again.

Individual waiters should actually rethink their profession. Unfriendly statements such as: I don't think you ordered that, to, are you the emperor or who, was everything. I think the buffet is good value for money. Personally, the only thing I missed was the labeling on the sausage; unfortunately it was almost impossible to tell the difference between turkey and pork. Even the people sitting next to me were shocked by the waiter. All in all it was ok.

We went for a snack and were surprised by how good everything was. The place is spacious and quiet, and the staff is very attentive!

Apparently the kitchen and the service staff were overwhelmed by the rush on Saturday and everything took a long time.

The food was quite good, but the waiters weren't. We waited an hour for our food with small children and then the waitress forgot to bring something twice. In addition, the waiters stood around together and chatted. However, our companion explained to us that it was probably better otherwise.

We went for breakfast and really enjoyed it

A lot going on on Sundays, but everything went well.

Very nice, nice breakfast buffet if you are visiting, I can only recommend it

Very good location for breakfast. Good selection and good quality.

First-class choice for breakfast, small and large appetites are catered for, very friendly staff. Would love to come back.

Casual for young and old, something for everyone to eat and drink, prices ok, we were there three times in three days and were always satisfied.

The food is absolutely delicious and there is a huge selection, everything is fresh and appetizing. The black coffee is not recommended, I had to leave it, even though I usually drink a lot of coffee. I think the size is good if you are there with children (they can jump around). Today the sun was shining, everyone in my row opposite couldn't see anything. Service was thoughtful and kind. All in all, thumbs up, because 100% is rare

I was loading up and it was very tasty. The only thing that was annoying was that I had to wait a long time to pay, but I can understand that because it was very busy. Otherwise it was good

Friendly service, casual atmosphere. Reservation recommended.

Delicious. I was admittedly surprised. But that's the point. It wasn't like I expected this high quality diet. The chairs could be a bit more comfortable. The place overall is a bit more cozy. It's duper. Still misunderstand. But the high art is harmony and feeling consistent over everything. This has a lot of potential. Let's enjoy it.

The atmosphere is very cozy. The service was great and very nice staff. My food tasted super delicious. Price performance is a little more expensive but reasonable.

Since we discovered salsa parties, as absolute lovers of Latin American rhythms, there has been no better place to listen to the wonderful sounds of salsa and dance until late into the night! The incredibly friendly staff and the audience from all over the world give the whole event a wonderful flair of serenity and friendliness! Even the journey from our hometown of Erfurt is not too far for us! An absolute recommendation!

The buffet was very good! A great selection of food and great variety. We were very, very satisfied and would love to come back! The service was great too! It was a wonderful Sunday brunch. Thanks for that ♥️

Always Alex Service and ambience great and a huge menu

Very good restaurant, delicious food and good to recommend with small children. There is also a play/craft/painting corner and a large indoor area where the little ones can move around. Very nice staff.

There is still a lot of room for improvement to get better

Great service, super friendly staff

Delicious food, as always. This time we tried the breakfast buffet.

Very nice Sunday brunch, attentive service. Unfortunately the atmosphere is a bit hectic.

Extra seats were created for us, the food was delicious

They try hard - toilets still look like they did 20 years ago, waiting time for food is 50 minutes+. Food okay but the price is pretty tight. Area in the hall with train station flair. Service friendly and attentive, organization a bit tricky. Everything is going better.

Always a good atmosphere and nice service. Always happy to come here!

My favorite restaurant when it comes to breakfast and brunch. The staff are friendly and the food is super diverse

You’re not welcome there if you’re not blond and you’re not german. I go there with my wife and just because she likes there( and she’s blond)😂

Nach einem Besuch im Museum Barberini entdeckte mein Kollege und ich das Alex am Platz der Einheit. Eine ansprechende Einrichtung empfängt den Gast. Besonders die Sessel im Innenbereich sind sehr gemütlich. Die Speisekarte ist sehr reichhaltig, bietet Suppen, Salate, Fleisch-u. Fischgerichte, Pasta, Burger und noch vieles mehr (auch vegetarisch oder vegan). Das Alex kann ich nur empfehlen (ja auch Systemgastronomie kann sehr lecker sein!). Die Bedienung freundlich aufmerksam und flott, besonders erwähnenswert Herr Laurenz und auch Herr Jasser. Als aufmerksamer Gast bekommt man mit, dass sich die Kollegen untereinander helfen, was den Gästen ja auch zugutekommt. Ich habe mich sehr wohlgefühlt! Bei meinem nächsten Potsdam-Besuch werde ich das Alex auf jeden Fall wieder aufsuchen. Mindestens 11 von 10 Punkten ;-). Vielen Dank an das gesamte Team Thomas Geyersbach aus Berlin

We come from Rostock and really enjoy being at Alex... Alex is also great in Potsdam.

Unfortunately the restaurant was disappointing. You are not assigned a table and have to find one yourself - pretty chaotic. The average waiting time for food is 50-60 minutes, which is clearly too long. Although the food is really delicious, you should only come here if you are not hungry, otherwise you will hardly be able to stand the wait.

Despite the very full shop, I received very friendly and quick service. Thank you. Great team

The Alex is apparently very popular with Potsdam residents and tourists. We had a hearty breakfast in a larger group and there was everything we needed for breakfast. Perhaps a little more variety in sausage and bread would be possible. The coffee is excellent in all varieties and the service is friendly and very attentive.

The brunch at Alex Potsdam is a real highlight and impresses with a rich and varied selection of breakfast, lunch and dessert options. From fresh baked goods to hearty warm dishes and sweet desserts – the quality and variety of the dishes leave nothing to be desired. There is something for every taste here, and the selection is definitely recommended. A small drawback, however, is the outdoor seating. Unfortunately, after a while the chairs become a bit uncomfortable, which spoils the overall impression a bit - especially if you plan to stay longer. In addition, the drinks prices are quite high compared to the food, which weakens the overall price-performance ratio somewhat. Overall, brunch at Alex Potsdam is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to enjoy a good mix of breakfast and lunch with a sweet ending. If you focus on the food and accept the small criticisms, you will certainly have a successful brunch.

Best sun terrace in Potsdam, food & drinks good, service good; The Sunday brunch is particularly recommended Quite loud inside in winter

Delicious bruschetta and veggie hamburger + turmeric latte.

The service is great despite the stress, the food is very good. I can definitely recommend it

Perfect experience at Alex Potsdam – 5/5 stars I was completely impressed by the Alex in Potsdam and offers everything you could want from a restaurant visit. Here is my detailed review: Food: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) The food is not only excellent in terms of taste, but also lovingly prepared. The menu offers a wide variety, from delicious breakfast offerings to seasonal dishes. Every meal was a pleasure, and the fresh ingredients and perfectly balanced spices were convincing. Service: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) The service at Alex is simply outstanding. The staff is incredibly friendly, attentive and accommodating. The waiters are always present without being intrusive, and every request is promptly fulfilled. You really feel valued as a guest. Ambience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) The ambience is modern, stylish and inviting. The bright and cozy furnishings and the spacious terrace in particular create an atmosphere in which you immediately feel at home. Even with a full house, it remains pleasant and relaxed. Conclusion: The Alex in Potsdam is the perfect place to enjoy a break from everyday life. Whether breakfast, lunch or dinner – hospitality is very important here. I can fully recommend this restaurant and am already looking forward to my next visit! Overall rating: 5 out of 5 stars – absolutely deserved!

Expensive for what we ate. A bottle of water €7.10

Were registered for brunch with 5 big and 3 little mice. Not placed in the hall as ordered, but directly at the entrance in a plow path to the buffet. Very tiring with little mice. The tables thrown together wobbled and were very small. The Alex was simply too crowded for the mass of people who wanted to have brunch there. The service was great and friendly and ironed out the rather bad impression. Unfortunately, price/performance cannot be praised. We paid €15 per person, but all drinks were extra, even the coffee. So the bottom line was €30 per nose (without alcohol). Unfortunately there aren't that many opportunities to have brunch with mice in Potsdam, I don't recommend it...

Like almost everywhere with Alex. Reliably high quality brunch with super friendly staff. Unfortunately there was not enough choice of warm dishes and vegetables were completely missing. In winter it's nice to sit in the restaurant, but the atrium is a bit cool and noisy. Overall, definitely recommended

Went to Alex for brunch for the first time today. We were overwhelmed. The waitress was very friendly and accommodating. Very fast service even though it was very full. The selection at the buffet was completely sufficient in our opinion. Great taste. Everything fresh. We will go there again for brunch. Great team. Continue So. Only recommended. The waitress was very personable and warm. It's a shame we didn't know your name.

Too expensive, empty, nothing going on. Too bad.

We had ordered a table for 15 people by phone. The service on the phone was friendly and competent. We all ordered the breakfast buffet. The staff on site was friendly, courteous and competent. There were enough staff so that long waiting times (e.g. for ordering drinks) were avoided. The selection at the buffet was very large and the food was very tasty. The price was okay, although tea/coffee would be great if it were included in the price. Otherwise it's worth recommending, especially for larger groups, but it's best to pre-order by phone because a lot of customers come there. Have a good hunger :)

When I decided to go here for Christmas dinner with my extended family, we were a little disappointed. I didn't find just one hair in my food (Alex Cheeseburger)! My family, with the exception of the youngsters, enjoyed it, as the saying goes, “okay”. The cheekiness that occurred is that I was grotesquely dumped when I asked for a new portion. I have decided not to dine here again.

We were there at 9:30 a.m. with 15 people, the scrambled eggs were cold, the coffee was only lukewarm. We won't go there anymore.

We were there with a group that day. Overall quite good, as there were committed and friendly waitresses on site. The Alex Cheeseburger, however, was not tasty. The ingredients were tasty, so overall it was ok. But either the meat wasn't cooked properly or it always tastes so bland here. Too bad. It doesn't have to be as perfect as it looked, but rather tasty. We eat fresh burgers regularly, outside of fast food chains. Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio didn't match at all in this case. We hope that the waitress passed our comment on to the kitchen when we cleared it (the first in our lives).

... I'm always thrilled 🤩.. Relaxed atmosphere with a large selection of normal dishes and sweet things.. Ice cream 🍦, cake.. The staff is quick on their feet and always grateful for a good saying... 10 stars 🤩

Tikka Massala was great. Great service.

It's a shame that people roll their eyes when a drink is more than a failure. And no one wants to hear excuses. It's a shame that things still haven't gotten better

Unfortunately we were a bit disappointed with the breakfast selection and the value for money. It reminded us more of a classic hotel breakfast with rolls, sausage and cheese. Special features of the selection such as ideas e.g. a cashew dip/sweet potato salad/Bircher muesli/etc. would have contributed to a more positive assessment. A large bottle of fake water costs €7.20 and a large glass of freshly squeezed orange juice costs €11.00, which we find to be overpriced.

Zufällig kamen wir an dieser Location vorbei. Erster Eindruck: viel Betrieb, sehr groß und laut. Die Speisekarte präsentierte interessante Kleinigkeiten. Leider war das, was dann auf den Tisch kam , einfach nur von mieser Qualität. Der Cappuccino war bitter. Die Waffeln mit Kirschgrütze waren einfach optisch und geschmacklich schlecht. Die Grütze ein billiges Gelantine - Industrieprodukt. Der Cappuccino kam schnell und war bereits kalt als die Waffeln nach langer Wartezeit serviert wurden. Dazu ein Service mit brandenburgischen Charme, den man nicht unbedingt als zuvorkommend empfinden kann. Fazit: totaler Reinfall

No matter the city, always happy. Price performance is great. The offerings and service vary somewhat regionally. But always polite and trying to be a good host to the guest. In Potsdam the terrace could be swept and some things could be renewed and replaced...

We always enjoy coming here for breakfast and brunch. Very well attended. Therefore, a reservation is advisable. You can't complain about the food. There is a lot to choose from and tastes good.

As in every Alex, the food is great. We sat in the dog restaurant and the atmosphere here is great. The service was always very good and special requests were well addressed. I don't like the atmosphere in the "hall" but you can easily avoid it.

Delicious food, fast service and cozy atmosphere. The portions were generous and everything was freshly prepared.

Very nice staff and delicious food

Great atmosphere, great people, I can only recommend it

Super great staff, and great food in a beautiful location in Potsdam.

Very nice employees, little waiting time for delicious food and good prices

I couldn't complain in any way. Great staff, large selection of food and it also tastes amazing. Gladly again!!

The Alex Café is a place that you definitely shouldn't miss in Potsdam. Whether for a leisurely breakfast, a relaxed lunch or a coffee chat - everything is just right here. We will definitely come back and can recommend it without reservation!

The Alex is a wonderful place to enjoy a break in a cozy atmosphere. The breakfast offering is varied and fresh, the coffee is aromatic, and the homemade cakes are a highlight - especially the cheesecake! The friendly staff rounds off the experience perfectly. A great meeting place in Potsdam that I can highly recommend!

Alex Café in Potsdam is an absolute gem! The atmosphere is inviting and cozy, perfect for a relaxing afternoon or a social gathering with friends. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive, which makes the visit even more enjoyable. The menu offers a diverse selection of delicious food and drinks. The freshly prepared coffee specialties and the delicious cakes, which simply invite you to linger, are particularly recommended. The quality of the ingredients is remarkable and you can tell that there is a lot of attention to detail here. Five stars from me!

Really good food and the staff is very friendly, and the location is perfect

I invited my family over for brunch today and it was a complete success. The service staff were extremely friendly and attentive. I can only recommend it to everyone!

Very noisy due to guests and disorganized staff

ALEX is great as always, unfortunately a bit loud

Good restaurant to have a relaxed meal with friends and or children. Large selection

Unfortunately we didn't have a great visit today. I've been to Alex a few times and it usually took a long time before I could place an order. But this lunchtime visit was definitely the last. It took some time for the waitress to notice us. She didn't really seem like she was happy about extra work either. I got a ginger tea with two mini slices of ginger for a whopping €4.60!!! My request to put a little more in there was granted, but no more hot water was added. The glass was also extremely scratched - I wouldn't offer it to anyone. One of three meals came 10 minutes later... Well, okay. I later ordered ketchup and mayo, but they never arrived. You really have to make an effort for every (extra) order and the payment process, otherwise you won't be noticed here at all. And it was only moderately full. The drinks menu is overall overpriced. The food was ok. Potatoes with curd - well, the dollop of curd wasn't enough. But reordering again wasn't really an option either. I'll never come back and won't recommend it to anyone.

Waited over an hour for food, which was beyond disappointing. However, the staff was friendly

Cozy restaurant with a feel-good atmosphere, very friendly, quick staff, an extensive menu and long opening hours.

We ordered the Pornstar Martini one evening during the week and were asked to wipe down the table, which was very sticky. The service took everything very friendly. Martin came and oh horror, what is that 🧐? Look at the menu, quick taste test 🙄... It explicitly said "with protein". Well, that's what we were looking for. The taste of the drink was also more disgusting to us than anything else. We drew the waiter's attention to us again and then it was time to wait, wait, wait.... 6 employees behind the counter but only one condition 🤔? Well, at some point my colleague came (without a rag, of course). Then the discussion began... It would just be protein syrup... Mmm ok. It's still missing... Everything else on the menu is also labeled as syrup, but here it explicitly says egg white, so as a guest you assume that there is egg white on the cocktail and not syrup. They have their specifications and that's fine. The waitress then waited around forever and took it Gritting your teeth the cocktails back. Then it took forever again. Wait, wait, wait... Well: quality instead of quantity... Expectations rose... New cocktails were delivered with a freshly cleaned table. But... These were even worse than the first and the egg white? Still wasn't visible. Sorry Alex, but from the service to the quality, it was a complete failure. Better stay away!

Had a very nice breakfast with friends. Everything was fresh and plentiful. Great service and everything was very clean. It was always refilled

Great, attentive team, nice and friendly, we'll be happy to come back.

Breakfast buffet is rich. A la carte dishes visually good and tasty. Nice and quick service. Higher price segment.

Unfortunately, only poor service with few seats and despite apparently having enough staff. Too bad.

Very friendly service! Food tasty and large portions. Drinks just as delicious. Larger selection, also suitable for vegetarians. Toilets spacious and clean.

At Alex we had very nice service. We were full and it was delicious 😋. Thanks

Alex is great, especially when there is breakfast (buffet).

I hadn't eaten anything, so I can't give a review. The service is 🔝 and friendly too.

Stanley was very personable and cared about her guests.

Very tasty food! I think some of the dishes are too little for the price but otherwise everything was good. I would have liked to sit inside with my group and not outside. The service was ok but there was a long waiting time

The Alex is conveniently located and easily accessible. However, the service mars the visit significantly. After we were seated it took 15 minutes for the order to be taken. It wasn't full though. We sat a little apart near the toilets, where service staff rarely looked or came. We ordered three drinks and cake at the same time. Unfortunately, not everything came together. After 5 minutes the tea and cake came, the beer came after 10 minutes. The apple spritzer that I ordered at the same time arrived after 25 minutes. In the meantime the beer was empty, so we wanted to order another beer. Difficult when no service person comes or at least looks in our direction for 15 minutes. The apple pie, which actually tasted good, was inedible because it was covered all over with a salty caramel sauce. Noticeable - there were still cups and glasses on two unoccupied neighboring tables, which were ignored for quite a while by the service staff who served us. We first expressed our desire to pay to service worker No. 1 and then to service worker No. 2. Then service worker No. 3 came and asked how we wanted to pay. No. 3 then had to go back and get the card reader. Why this question wasn't asked immediately #1 or #2 remains a mystery. In summary, the restaurant is a total failure after the experience.

Very nicely designed with various seating options. Brunch has a large selection and the service was great too

Bridging day, it took a while. Very tasty and freshly prepared.

Friendly staff. Delicious food. Refreshing drinks. Allergies are also taken into account and asked for in the kitchen and alternatives are offered!

Very bad food and service, waiting and noises

We went to Alex with a group on Friday just to drink. The service was very friendly and everything worked wonderfully. That's why we reserved a table for dinner on Saturday. The waitress was very busy, so there were waiting times, which weren't a problem for us, but she was still very friendly. However, my food wasn't really great. I got a Chicken Teryaki, which is shown on the menu and was supposed to consist of a tender chicken breast fillet. Mine was cut lengthways so that it consisted of two very thin slices that were also fried until crispy. Hard to bite at times. There's nothing subtle about it. A friend also had chicken teriyaki. Hers was a little bit thicker and not quite as crispy. Her husband had chicken schnitzel with fried potatoes and egg, which was a reasonable thickness. If there had been at least a few more vegetables, it might have saved my mood. But just 2 varieties of onions, a bunch of flat-leaf parsley, a tiny bit of pepper and a pod of peas weren't enough.

Best tarte flambée I've ever eaten! Fennel Salsicia, highly recommended :) Friendly and quick service. It was quite restless at lunchtime because the breakfast buffet was still being cleared away, but that didn't bother us.

Lechers food price performance fits
