ANDERS.Cafe in Jena

We held our last Christmas party at ANDERS.Cafe. We were very enthusiastic about the service as part of the organization. Sebastian's friendly manner made the preliminary arrangements for our team event pleasantly uncomplicated. The large proportion of vegetarians and vegans in our company did not pose a hurdle for the ANDERS.Cafe when planning the Christmas menu. The very lovingly put together table buffet suggestions could easily be expanded to include a few meat-free/vegan options, so that everyone was happy with the menu selection. The food was highly praised at the celebration and even in retrospect we often hear that this was the team event with the tastiest menu. Many thanks to the entire ANDERS team! You made our Christmas party a very special day. We'd love to come back! :)

We were visiting Jena over the weekend and were looking for a place to have breakfast on Sundays. Anders was recommended to us and we were more than satisfied! The Anders offers a good selection of breakfast and drinks. Whether it's a "classic" breakfast or something more "unusual", everyone will find what they're looking for here. The plates are beautifully and attractively arranged and the glasses are also beautiful. The staff was very friendly and the location itself is also very nice. Hopefully the Anders will still be open on our next visit to Jena, because we will definitely be back!

Very good food. Just a little “different”. Even though it is more expensive than some restaurants in the neighborhood, we think the price-performance ratio is good. We'll be back.

The food was really delicious. But the highlights were others. Got a table on Saturday with a lot of swapping (6:00 p.m.). The bartender saw the thirst and poured a beer in front of the table. Then the recommendation from the staff BBQ of the beef brisket. The hammer. With a staff like that you are on the right track. We'll come by now and then. Thank you

Hello! To be honest, I was a bit skeptical about the food at first. I'm more of a type for well-known dishes, especially schnitzel. The chef (on the evening of January 15, 2025) was very ambitious and my chicken curry was excellent. Really very well seasoned and put together. Then a crème brûlée, which was anything but run-of-the-mill. All in all, a truly outstanding taste experience! Best regards!

We always enjoy going there. Delicious food and nice service.

Weekdays, 9:15 a.m. The café is still empty except for one table. The welcome is reserved and friendly. We are assigned a table, which I find a bit strange given the number of free tables. The waiter then waits a while and brings the menu, which includes an international spectrum of dishes. We opt for a French breakfast for €7.50, consisting of a fluffy baguette, a small bowl of strawberry jam, a coffee and a bowl of butter. When it comes to the butter, I doubt whether it really is butter in the traditional sense, because to my tongue it tastes like hydrogenated palm fat, snow-white and greasy. But that is of course a matter of taste. Conclusion: you can do it for a small breakfast, but you don't have to.

Super tasty and very stylish and modern furnished

I didn't know this café before. I was pleasantly surprised. Nice staff and very good food.

Delicious food, cool service, gladly again 👍

Unfortunately, service was very disappointing. Super long waiting times and sometimes rude. The food and ambience were very good and satisfying :)

Great hospitality, really delicious food, world class!

Cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. The breakfast was very tasty!

Nice quiet place. Friendly staff and good service. It's quite a tranquil atmosphere. If you wanna grab lunch or breakfast, especially with company, I would recommend you take a trip here. Thank you Anders.Cafe staff

We had reserved a table for two on Friday evening (2nd Advent weekend). At first the drinks, food and service were excellent, but as time went on the service deteriorated, i.e. we sat there for a good hour and a half with our last drink ordered, every attempt to draw attention to us was skillfully ignored, when they finally came back to us again We stopped by and asked for the bill and left. What really stands out positively is the quality of the food.

Went there with colleagues and reserved tables in advance. Waitress asks for drinks, everyone has placed their orders. Then the 4 waiters were busy pouring 8 beers and making 3 cocktails for more than 30 minutes. Service is therefore at least overwhelmed. The Christmas menu (specified by the restaurant) was varied and quite tasty. "Sushi" is a rather misleading name for a rice roll with carrots and mayo.

Unfortunately we had to wait a long time for our breakfast. After we asked an hour after ordering whether we could at least get our coffee, all we got back was a flippant answer from the waitress. The food was ultimately good, but due to the rude and extremely annoyed service, coupled with the extremely long waiting time, I would rather choose another restaurant in the future.

Great location. Very tasty food and great drinks. Staff friendly and quick. Prices good.

Very nice restaurant in Jena. During the week there is a lunch special that is always a bit different. I'm now getting full from the portions and that's why I can now give it full stars. The coffee is also very tasty, although in the upper price segment for Jena. The cake is also recommended! Modern and nice interior and pleasant relaxed atmosphere.

If you want to go there for breakfast on the weekend: a definite no. Apparently absolutely understaffed. 20 minutes until you are served. Then only half the table has to be taken care of and only after repeated requests does the rest. The rolls are rock hard, the food isn't complete, and you then wait another 20 minutes until the rest comes, although of course it's a slightly different meal if you can't eat certain combinations because you're waiting. But ok, mistakes happen. But no apology, let alone compensation. As I said, of course there is more going on on Sunday morning, but you have to expect that and hire more staff, you also make more sales. As a guest you just feel ripped off. The food, which was otherwise delicious but so much of a nuisance, would have to make up for excellent food, and unfortunately it really isn't...

A real highlight for breakfast lovers! Café Anders impresses with fresh, crispy rolls from the stone oven that are simply irresistible. I was particularly impressed by the “Montreal” avocado slices with salmon – perfectly balanced and a real treat. The atmosphere is cozy, the service is friendly and attentive. Definitely a place I can recommend. I'd love to come back!

Great, delicious food with good service.

Modern and chic atmosphere... the portions could have been a little larger, but they were very tasty.

Sehr schönes Lokal und essen sehr lecker. Weiter zu empfehlen.

Großes Frühstücksangebot, sehr schön und dekorativ dargereicht. Freundlich und zuvorkommend.

Beautiful café with delicious cakes in a stylish interior... perfectly rounded off our girls' day. We can also really recommend the warm dishes.

Immer wieder gern… Beim nächsten Aufenthalt in Jena wird das Café wieder aufgesucht😊

Schönes Restaurant. Freundlicher Service. Das Essen, Chicken Curry mit Blumenkohlwings, fanden wir leider nicht so gut. Es war fad, wenig gewürzt. Zudem würden wir uns wünschen dass in der Speisekarte der Hauptbestandteil des Currys, nämlich Linsen, Erwähnung findet.

Always my pleasure. Delicious food, great ambience, top service

It was really great with you. Spontaneously came for breakfast and had extremely tasty food. Had 2 breads, one with egg Benedict, avocado cream, salmon and a herb cream, one with bacon. Both on point, crispy, fresh, very, very tasty. And we indulged in a sumptuous scrambled egg. The children each had the pancakes, also great. Service was very attentive, friendly and kind to the children and always there. We would love to come back!

schönes Ambiente und tolles Essen, nette Bedienung

Alles schön, Essen lecker, Service sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend, aber etwas zugig gesessen. Die Toiletten hätten gerne etwas sauberer sein dürfen.

Drinks and food are *different* and expensive.

Great atmosphere and everything is relaxed and relaxed. The food is something different, just different😁, and the drinks also have a kick.

Leider haben wir ( 2 Personen) trotz Reservierung einen schlechten Tisch erwischt. Einen Hochtisch mit 2 Barhocker in einer Ecke. Ich bin mit 1,58m kaum auf den Stuhl gekommen. Es war sehr eng und laut. Der Service war sehr freundlich und gut. Essen war auch gut. Weine zu teuer.

Very cozy cafe. Breakfast highly recommended.

Tolle Speisekarte, super nette Bedienung und leckeres Essen. Wir haben ein schöner Abend mit der Familie zur Feier einer Top-Leistung.

Schönes Café, Pfannkuchen waren lecker 😋 Sometimes you have sunshine 🌞 coming inside the location, which is really nice 👍 we didn’t test the other things on the menu but more visits will be definitely worth in the future 🥞

Super friendly staff. The dishes are prepared quite unusually and sometimes reinterpreted. Just “DIFFERENT” than what you know and yet super tasty. You won't get bored there. 👍🏽😃

The staff was very very friendly! ❤️The restaurant is modern, clean and has a very pleasant atmosphere. The food was simply delicious! 😋I recommend it with all my heart! Thank you very much Team Anders Café, we would love to come back! ❤️5+++ stars!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Super freundliche Bedienung, schneller Service und hervorragendes Essen! Auf jeden Fall eine Empfehlung wert!

Delicious food and a pleasant atmosphere. The cake is highly recommended.

Ruhige moderne Atmosphäre sehr freundliches Personal nicht wie in anderen Cafés standartisiertes Frühstück sondern neue Ideen sehr schmackhaft.

Very friendly staff, you feel really comfortable and are warmly welcomed. The Hommade lemonade is an absolute highlight. Great atmosphere🥰

Attentive service, very good food and a nice ambience.

Schönes Restaurant in einer sehr beliebten und belebten Gasse in Jena. Drinnen und draußen gibt es gemütliche Nischen zum sitzen und ungestört unterhalten. Speisen und Getränke sehr lecker und teilweise sehr ausgefallen, halt einfach mal was „Anders“ ;), aber genau deswegen bin ich dort nochmal hin, um es meinen Freundinnen zu zeigen! Wir freuen uns aufs nächste Mal!

It's very nice to be pampered early in the morning by such a cheerful team!

One of the worst breakfasts I've ever had. We waited a very long time for two breakfasts. I ordered avocado with feta and when breakfast arrived the egg was hard boiled instead of poached. I asked and they changed the egg after 10 minutes but brought me a plate of soggy bread as the plate was water. The salad had no dressing and the egg smelled unpleasant.

Maybe we had a bad day, but employees were unfriendly and the food was missing ingredients listed on the menu. These were submitted later, but there was no apology.

Sehr gutes Restaurant mit sehr netter Bedienung und gutem Essen

Werden leider nicht mehr dort essen. Erst war alles schön und zuvorkommend. Eine Bestellung war dann nicht richtig. Es hieß erst von der Bedienung, ich hätte das aber auf jeden Fall so bestellt, doch es wäre kein Problem, es geht aufs Haus. Mein Freund hat mir beigepflichtet, er hat auch gehört, dass ich was anderes bestellt habe. Am Ende hat man es doch abkassiert. Es ärgerte uns masslos und hat uns den Abend versaut. Man fühlt sich echt verarscht.

Nice location, delicious rolls. Highly recommended for breakfast.

One of my favourite restaurants in Jena, solid menu and great service!

...you sit on a slope outside, which causes physical problems (sitting crooked). Lots of efficient staff...gladly again

We went to this establishment for brunch on a Sunday because the ambience was very appealing. Unfortunately we were a little disappointed. - It took 15 minutes for the drinks to be ordered... that's still OK... but not so nice - an hour passed until the food arrived. We ordered the breakfast burger without avocado cream and then after an hour the burger with avocado arrived...doubly disappointed. Then it was time to wait again - we also had the “French breakfast” 1 croissant with a small bowl of butter and a small bowl of jam for €8!!! We think the price is really steep. Since it was very carelessly prepared and there wasn't even a little fruit accompaniment (that also took an hour to arrive...) - the waiter was a bit too confident in his demeanor... -The pancakes were delicious In terms of taste, everything was good, but I didn't find anything above average or outstanding All in all we were really disappointed. Price-performance ratio wasn't right.

Very nice atmosphere. Friendly service and staff. The café invites you to stay there longer.

Amazing cake and coffee. Very nice and friendly waitress.

Cozy, narrowly furnished but sufficient. Food is good and an interesting selection

Super nice staff. Delicious food e.g. vegetarian spaghetti, awesome and I can bring my dog ​​with me. We feel comfortable here. Thanks

Small but nice menu, not run-of-the-mill but something that you wouldn't have been able to eat at home or cook yourself every day.

Im Vorhinein online reserviert, lief problemlos. Auf Wünsche wurden eingegangen, toller aufmerksamer Service. Das Frühstücksangebot ist einmalig und absolut zu empfehlen. Caramel Macchiato richtig lecker.

Das Essen war einfach nur lecker und schön angerichtet. Das ganze Feeling war toll und man hat sich gleich wohlgefühlt.

Great restaurant. Were in Jena again a few months ago. Had reserved breakfast there on Sunday. The atmosphere was great (we were outdoors), the staff was very friendly and quick and the breakfast was just great.

Simply a cozy SHOP IS ALWAYS VERY WELL VISITED Can only recommend the place

...tasty local cuisine and handmade beer in a beautiful atmosphere, plus nice attentive service...always a pleasure

Delicious food, nice atmosphere and good service. We'd love to come back! 👍

Very good breakfast at fair prices.

Super Bedienung, schönes Essen würde nur als Tipp geben bei dem Ceasar Salad das Hühnchen geschnitten in den Salat, anstatt es drauf zulegen, ansonsten ein super Ambiente, empfehle es weiter. LG

Sehr netter und hilfsbereite Service, leckeres Essen, gutes Preis Leistungsniveau.

Nice ambience, excellent food, great staff. Always happy.

We held our wedding reception there based on a recommendation and we were all thrilled. Especially since we had the upper floor just for ourselves and were even able to bring a cake and desserts from another shop. These were even served to us lovingly. We were allowed to choose a menu in advance with a starter, main course and dessert. Everything was fresh and very tasty. In the end, we are absolutely thrilled and can only recommend everyone to eat there or have a party there. Would love to come back.

Service is great, they take great care. The food was a little different but delicious. Worth a visit again at any time.

I thought the food was okay but unfortunately not as expected. The brisket had some large pieces of fat on it and was also really small. The advertised BBQ sauce tasted more like a gravy. The coleslaw consisted only of red cabbage and mayonaise. The fries were cold. The miso mayo only tasted like soy sauce and was barely edible. It's a shame - and that for the price. The service was nice, but all in all it took a really long time (15 minutes for the first drinks alone, and just over an hour for the food). We probably won't come back.

Excellent cakes and very good food with super friendly service and everything at reasonable prices

Very stylishly furnished, nice and quiet atmosphere. The food tasted very good and was of very good quality. To recommend!

Hab für meinen Geburtstag einen Tisch für 10:30 reserviert, um im Cafe Anders zu frühstücken. Erstmal vorweg, das Essen war fantastisch und wunderschön angerichtet. Allerdings weiß ich nicht was mit dem “Humor” des Personals an dem Tag loswar. Wenn man reserviert, bekommt man die Information, dass erst wenn man mehr als 10 Minuten zu spät kommt Bescheid sagen muss. 10:36 waren wir dann da, ich sagte auf welchen Namen ich reserviert habe und dass wir ein bisschen zu spät sind. Patzig meinte der Mitarbeiter “ein bisschen?!” Und als ich sagte “naja 5 Minuten” meinte er “6!”. War vlt sein Humor aber ich fands absolut unangenehm und habe überlegt auf dem Absatz kehrt zu machen und woanders hinzugehen, weil ich mir das als Gast an meinem freien Tag und an meinem Geburtstag nicht brauche, mir so einen Stress zu geben. Kann man drüber hinwegsehen aber als die andere Mitarbeiterin dann auch nochmal einen Witz über das zu spät kommen gemacht hat hats mir gereicht und es fiel mir schwer meinen Besuch zu geniessen. Ich selber habe eine 48 Stunden Woche bei der ich mich um Menschen kümmere, ich möchte wenn ich dann mal frei habe, in Ruhe frühstücken und mir nicht 2 mal Sprüche drüber anhören dass wir 6!! Minuten zu spät waren. Das war wirklich total überflüssig und unangenehm und hat meinen ganzen Aufenthalt dort gestört. Falls das einfach der “Humor” war sollte man vlt trotzdem überlegen wie es für die Gäste rüberkommt, und wo die Grenze ist. Ich kam nicht zum Bewerbungsgespräch sondern zum Frühstück, wirklich. Das hab ich in keinem anderen Restaurant je erleb. Ich hasse Renzensionen schreiben aber das war gestern echt doof. Vlt kann man das mal reflektieren und beim nächsten mal ein bisschen weniger Witze machen die den Kunden unwohl fühlen lassen… War schade.

great atmosphere, a delicious selection of food & drinks and always attentive service

Coole und moderne Location, aufmerksamer und schneller Service und lecker Essen und Trinken!

Very friendly service Very tasty food

Super Ambiente durch moderne Einrichtung, leckeres Essen und einem tollen Service! Absolut empfehlenswert und immer eine tolle Erfahrung.

Wir hatten wieder einen sehr angenehmen Abend im Cafe Anders. Der nächste Besuch ist nur eine Frage der Zeit.

I was there three times within 2 weeks, I think that says it all! Super tasty, friendly staff and a wonderful atmosphere, I feel very comfortable every time!

Good restaurant with a very interesting bar! From 12 p.m. a large selection of different dishes. Unfortunately there is less choice for breakfast.

A very nice restaurant with good food and delicious cocktails. Particularly noteworthy is the friendly and attentive staff

Sehr gutes Essen, sehr gute Cocktails. Mega freundliche und aufmerksame Bedienung. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!

I would definitely recommend ANDERS. It's a modern and cosy place with a friendly atmosphere and really tasty food.

Delicious food, nice service, nice ambience. We recommend

Der Service war freundlich und entgegenkommend, das Essen sehr gut und das Ambiente angenehm. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Café Anders is very convincing with its look and atmosphere. The staff is very nice and accommodating. The food was also tasty and served in a very modern way. However, it could have been better. Unfortunately, my asparagus was still woody at the ends and the meat that was served was unfortunately not of good quality. I would recommend going for breakfast or for a few drinks & snacks. Some of the cakes in the restaurant are also highly recommended.

Very pleasant atmosphere, delicious food and friendly staff. If the weather cooperates, it feels like an entertaining vacation.

Das Frühstück war super lecker 😋 und von der Portionsgröße absolut ausreichend. Leider kam ein zweiter Mitarbeiter erst als wir fertig waren. Für eine Person im Service war die Anzahl der Gäste schon eine Herausforderung.

We happened to eat here today. It was 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. The food was prepared to perfection. Thanks again to the staff in the kitchen.😊 The service was very friendly and caring. The atmosphere was relaxing… it was a really nice evening.

Best cafe in Jena. Really good food!

Der Service war gut. Preis -Leistung auch in Ordnung

Von der Reservierung bis zum Ende alles super geklappt.

Sehr guter Service, sehr vielfältiges und gutes Essen.

A cafe/restaurant with style. I was there for both breakfast and dinner and it was great. You sit in a relaxed atmosphere, everything is furnished and arranged with style. The food is top. A recommendation is the BBQ salmon flakes.

Beautifully prepared dishes nice and friendly staff Price-performance is completely okay and everything tastes great. We were super satisfied and will definitely come back.

We were here today, spontaneously, for Mother's Day brunch. The service is very friendly. When we took a seat, we were initially told that the eggs were already out; since we wanted to have breakfast, that was annoying at first. Shortly afterwards another waiter came and told us that there were still eggs. We then ordered 2x breakfast, eggs and pancakes. The food came quite quickly, but we were disappointed with the portion sizes. For just under €10 each, you get a dollop of butter, jam, honey and hummus, 3 half slices of cheese and 3 small slices of bread and a small croissant, even though the menu said Kaiser rolls and sunflower seed rolls. No fruit or some vegetables. Also no drink included, as usual. The scrambled eggs and pancakes were delicious. The food was ok, the service was very nice but we won't be coming back because €55 was just too expensive for the portions.

Gerne wieder, super Service, prima Karte
