Basic Kitchen-Coffee-Bar Marburg in Marburg

Delicious bowls, bagels, burgers and home soda! Beautiful window view over Marburg and very nice staff. Music and acoustics are sometimes a bit too loud, but otherwise everything is great. :)

1. Prices are proud but justified by the quality of the food presented 2. Music, service and ambience just make you feel good - Only good vibes. 3. The offering also seems to change from season to season and has something to offer for everyone. Quite simply a hot number!

This is a good place, tasty drinks, the only downside is that the hot drinks and especially the cocoa are always lukewarm, every time I order it it is lukewarm, so not that great... If we improve this, I will give this cafe more stars~

The roast beef dish wasn't good, I ordered it well done and it arrived English, it had zero seasoning and the fries were bland. Everything together didn't add up, but the price was steep. Card reader was also broken. And it's crowded and loud.

Great ambience and great block above Marburg. Unfortunately, service was a bit quick and unfriendly. Went there for breakfast and it was relatively crowded which made it very noisy and we couldn't really enjoy the experience. The food was very good, but the rolls were stone hard on the outside, which made cutting them and eating them difficult. However, the prices were fair for breakfast and the food was very well presented!

We had breakfast there today. We recommend the Basic, a breakfast that contains both savory and sweet foods and has the best price-performance ratio. The pancakes are wonderfully fluffy, but 3 are really too many and it would be nice if you could only order 2. The bowls are not recommended, because for a price of €12.50 you get a small bowl of ice-cold smoothie puree with some granola. The hot drinks are a bit overpriced (coffee with milk €5.50). Overall it was a nice breakfast in a nice atmosphere.

Very nice ambience and view, very nice waitress and the waiting time was OK. Cheesecake very good and burger was good. The bread from the burger was a bit scorched and the lattes also tasted like burnt beans

Reserved a table at 3:25 p.m. for 4:30 p.m. Received email confirmation, drove specifically to the upper town, paid for parking. After I walked in, a manager (brown hair, short beard) came up to me. He asked directly: “Did you make a reservation 1 minute ago?” That doesn't work". He also said that making a reservation an hour ago would be “too spontaneous.” After I said that I had a reservation confirmation the manager said: "It doesn't matter, I have other customers, the door is there". Never experienced anything like this before. NEVER AGAIN! I can't judge the food because I wasn't allowed to try it either. Reservations through Google Maps are not permitted. If you want to be insulted, feel free to come here.

The ambience is very tasteful, you sit above the roofs of Marburg and have a great view, delicious food and drinks with many vegan options 👍👏🎉🎊, nice service staff

Unfortunately, the restaurant served meat instead of vegan burger patties on several occasions. It can't be the case that you have to check whether the food is really vegan every time you visit a restaurant or order. The delivery service generally often delivers the wrong food, for example the wrong smoothies. Once, instead of vegan apple pie, we were brought an apple pie with pecans. Okay in itself, we were assured on the phone that this was also vegan, only for us to find out the next time we went to the restaurant that the cake was not labeled as vegan (unlike the normal apple cake). That's stupid if you're vegan, but it's a health risk for people with food intolerances.

The best thing is the view, service miserable. We waited a long time and when we asked, the order was lost. The apology was poor and we were made to wait again… I will not enter this restaurant again!

The food was good, but it was expensive, took a long time, some of the orders were delivered incorrectly and to top it all off, paying also took a long time.

Cheap copy of Starbucks. Also hygienically questionable, especially where the milk is and the staff is unfriendly

Went there for breakfast late in the morning the day before New Year's Eve. Although there was a lot going on and all the tables were occupied, the waiting time remained reasonable. The service staff were friendly and responded flexibly to questions, as they should be. The ambience is great with a great view of the upper town over Marburg, the location is top notch. The food was very good and also very pleasing to the eye. Portions just right. That's why the price-performance ratio is, all in all, absolutely harmonious. For me a clear recommendation and deserves 5 stars.

It was my favorite café just a year ago! Unfortunately, it has diminished significantly. Some things from the menu were replaced or changed slightly, for example the pancakes. Unfortunately it's not nearly as good as it was back then. Service very slow. Sometimes I waited over 45 minutes for someone to take my order. It takes almost three quarters of an hour for what we ordered to arrive. But despite that, mostly friendly service. The view is great but it is always very loud so you can't communicate with your companion. I had never had the experience of getting so warm in a store and sometimes getting really tired. But here it is. Please heat less!! I've given the store another chance several times over the last few months but this was the last time. Too bad!

Nice location, but given the prices, more than one service would be appropriate. The poor waiter was solely responsible for ALL the tables, so you can't expect miracles, even if he was very friendly. Very high prices for drinks, coffee, cakes, etc.

Coffee and cake are great, the warm dishes have sometimes been better and sometimes worse. Overall, great atmosphere, unfortunately the service staff is mostly very inattentive, so you spend a lot of time waiting and usually. must be noticed in order to be served

Really great cafe with a great view. Nice facility. Salad was really varied and tasty, only the chicken was a bit dry because it was fried for too long. The burger was good too - only it came without the fries we ordered. It took a good 10 minutes until they were handed in. It's stupid to eat burgers and fries one after the other - but the service wasn't really interested. And then the “fried potatoes” with the schnitzel. Here in the café these are fried potato wedges. My objection about not having received any fried potatoes revealed my lack of knowledge about the preparation in the kitchen. “Fried potatoes” always look like this here. It's really no big deal, just: five different service staff come to the table - ultimately no one was really interested in hospitality.

Lots of vegan options that are listed on a double page in the middle of the menu so you don't have to search. :) We had the Pinsa Green Garden and the Exotic Beyond burger with sweet potato and vegan mayo. The food was super delicious! Unfortunately, the homemade lemonade we both had only consisted of water and syrup and was therefore a bit expensive at just over 5.00 euros.

A very nice café with a delicious breakfast and a great ambience with a view.

Service could actually get 0 stars Never seen anyone work so slowly

Was already there for breakfast and dinner. Both times super tasty food at fair and reasonable prices. I can highly recommend it.

This café offers a great selection of food and drinks (menu attached). The café's products are in a relatively high price range. Nevertheless, it tastes very good. The view is of course unbeatable, as there is a large panoramic window overlooking the city.

I was there for breakfast. Great decor, delicious food. I can recommend what I think it's called Classic Plate. The smoothies were also tasty but very large.

I find it very interesting. I find the coffee absurdly expensive, but the breakfast somehow absurdly cheap for what you get. So the bottom line is really reasonable prices for really good food, service and views!

Waited 30 minutes for a mojito, outrageous. Employees in the kitchen stand around and just chat.

I said several times that I wanted a bagel WITHOUT lettuce & tomatoes, what did I get? A bagel with lettuce😂

Very tasty breakfast, service very friendly.

Tasty Cosy Food is served quickly Beautiful view from the window

Great restaurant, but unfortunately we had to wait a long time for service... they didn't pay any attention to us and preferred to chat.

Nice restaurant in the upper town with a great view over the university town, good food, homemade lemonade, friendly service, what more?! Oh yes: delicious breakfast!

Great breakfast and super nice staff. Always my pleasure.

Unfortunately the map was changed for the worse. First the delicious bagels, like the green vegan bagel, were taken out and now the bagels are only available for breakfast. As a vegetarian/vegan there isn't much left on the menu. There is a falafel bowl and a falafel salad, both of which are very identical in their ingredients, the pinsa unfortunately doesn't taste good at all, and the avocado bowl is very dominated by the balsamic dressing, which unfortunately doesn't go well with the otherwise Mexican-inspired dish. So that actually only leaves one of the burgers, which are tasty, but there are other, sometimes better, restaurants in Marburg for burgers. It's a shame, it would be great if the bagels were back on the regular menu.

One star deduction because you definitely need to clean between the windows and the glass partition in the seating area. You can also wipe off small children's fingerprints there from time to time. It's just constructive criticism, the service and the food, as well as how quickly everything was there, were great, you definitely can't go wrong with a healthy bowl or a burger here.

The food was great, and the service was very quick. But this wore off very quickly, so we waited 45 minutes for service even though the store was not very busy. The waitresses would rather talk about their private lives than serve customers. Unfortunately, the corners of the rooms are also full of spiders and cobwebs, but in my opinion this doesn't have to be the case.

Great ambience with a wonderful view over Marburg, very good quality and lovingly prepared food, the selection of dishes should have something for every taste, price-performance ratio is right! Gladly again!

Hello Marburg, It's fun to sit here and enjoy the view from the upper town. The food is delicious. Your cakes are always fresh and taste great. Best regards

Found by chance. The two of us were really excited. Good selection of everything with wonderful quality at a fair price. The restaurant itself is decorated super cool and offers a beautiful view. Last week we made reservations with a large group (approx. 55 people) and were thrilled. Great organization. Nobody had to wait long and everyone enjoyed it and all their needs were met. I can therefore only recommend the restaurant.

I ordered a Pumkin Latte with lactose-free milk, but it seems to have been normal milk because I now have severe gastrointestinal problems, and there was lipstick on the cup, which I initially thought was a pattern on the cup, but that turned out to be the case /turned out to be lipstick while drinking. I also didn't receive part of my order. I think that's a shame and from now on I'll only go to Basic Coffee at the train station.

Quite expensive, for 3 people burger+fries+soft drink+tip it's €70, that's steep. Unfortunately the burger was only lukewarm. The fries were great. Service was nice, nothing more. You sit outside at a very slanted angle.

Perfect view in the mornings, tasty food with good portions and super friendly staff. Nice black coffee as well. Recommended!

Very nice restaurant with unfortunately a small outdoor area in a quiet location on the edge of the old town. Food and drinks were really tasty and a great price/performance ratio. The service was also very good and our waitress was very friendly. I can highly recommend the burgers.

Always fresh and also flexible in case of intolerances. The tattooed waitress was ultra accommodating and a great shop overall. Super tasty food that doesn't feel heavy on the stomach.

Hello dear Basic team, it was once again a taste experience. I have been to Reitgasse several times and have ordered several times. Everything went smoothly and tasted great. Nadja was our server today and did a great job. Thanks for that! 🙏🏽 Many guests and good luck to all of you.

Food delicious, view great but you have to wait a long time until the food comes 🥐🍽️⏰

The fries were crispy and very tasty. The burger was also very good, but dripped a bit of fat. I don't think 50 cents for mayo/ketchup is necessary given the price you're already paying.

Nice service but you have to bring a lot of time, you wait for what feels like hours for your food and 3 pancakes for 18€ are really cheeky

The food was delicious, the view was great and the interior was cozy and tastefully decorated. Only the service was a bit sloppy, although friendly. First the dishes we ordered came twice, then one order didn't come at all.

A great place, really nicely decorated and a good selection of food and drinks. The staff is very friendly but totally overwhelmed. We've been there three times now and each time the table was dirty, that's what it had to say. It took a long time for the order to be taken. The food is quite good. Bowl and Pinsa were great. Schnitzel was ok and fries were unfortunately cold. Really nice place and friendly. There could be more to the service and cleanliness - you wait a really long time. 1 hour until the food came, every time.

Everything fine if you are not hungry ! Service friendly, location nice, but the food is unfortunately really bad !!

Great burger, nice staff and an unbelievable view. What else does one need?! Loved it.

Good average in everything. The service was super nice, the food took a while to arrive, but it tasted really good. In terms of price, I think it's a bit too expensive, especially for the portions that you have on your plate. Paying extra for any extra request is okay, but ketchup/mayo for 50ct is cheeky.

Great ambience, delicious breakfast with fantastic views and super friendly staff.

Breakfast is recommended! I prefer to go here for brunch because I think breakfast is the best. The acai bowls, the pancakes and the English breakfast are really well done. The fried potatoes are my favorite. But it's also nice in the evening for cocktails with friends or your partner.

Super beautiful. Will definitely have to come here more often

I sat outside in front of the picturesque backdrop of Marburg's old town I could have had fries 🍟 with my meal, but after the gentleman explained to me how big the hamburger would be when I asked, I decided not to have the fries! You have to eat, and the service didn't exaggerate, the hamburger was amazing 🔨 plentiful and very tasty! 🙋‍♀️👌👏

Wirklich gute auswahl, besonders viele vegan optionen was und gefreut hat. Essen war lecker und reichlich, wunderschöne Aussicht und Einrichtung/Ambiente. Und das zu noch faire, erschwingliche Preise. Habe auf TA noch nie funf sterne gegeben :) wir kommen sicher wieder

Been there a few times, the food is delicious and the atmosphere is nice. The service is friendly but you have to wait a long time just to order because you have to attract attention first. It takes a long time for the drinks to arrive. I'll eat here when I have enough time.

Food & drinks always good, location beautiful. The service is friendly, but you can easily wait 30 minutes for your drinks. Not for people who just want to have a quick coffee

The best thing was the view of, for example, a passing R34 or the city. Unfortunately we had to tell the waitress to clear away the old dishes. The food came before the drinks, which had been on the counter for 10 minutes. The burger meat was dry fried. In general, everything took a very long time because the waitresses preferred to sit at their desks rather than do their work.

Breakfast was very good. A little more butter would be good for my taste. Otherwise I would happily go back

The food and drinks are the finest. Very nice and courteous service. Wonderful view over the roofs of Marburg.

Very, very incredibly delicious cuisine! This needs to be highlighted. Everything is beautifully presented on the plate and it tastes fantastic. Waiting times are often very long, and with children it is difficult to keep them happy, especially when they are very hungry. After 40 minutes we were asked what we wanted to order. After another 25 minutes the food came. Of course, 65 minutes until dinner is steep, you shouldn't come to your lunch break thinking that you're going to eat something delicious and think that's not possible. But maybe after work with some time. The ambience, taste and the super friendly staff make up for it!

Nice, atmospheric place, tasty food, I recommend it :)

Waited far too long for the waiters. Food didn't come until 30-40 minutes later and we had to wait a long time to pay, even though we had let us know. But food was good. We were left sitting extra and we weren't told that we couldn't pay by card. Was told he would be right back and he was wiping tables in front of us even though we wanted to leave.

Had a very nice evening here. Delicious food, nice ambience and very friendly staff, what more could you want? My recommendation: The burrata pasta with a homemade soda ✨😋

Unfortunately, I'm always afraid to order food because every time just a coffee or a juice takes 40 to 45 minutes... so you can wait for hours to get something... 4 servers, 6 tables and still no staff... This isn't just the first experience... this has happened 5 times.

A little overpriced for me with umit, but delicious, great ambience and lovely staff

The only thing that wasn't so good was the cocktails, you have to make sure that everything that's on the menu is there, otherwise it was very nice there

I had Breakfast there today the vegan dish was very good, music playlist was absolutely the best and service was great, the girl with the black Piercings was very friendly 😊

I was just there the day before yesterday and it just worked The service was nice and I had the avocado bowl which was very tasty Definitely come back

We were there for breakfast last Thursday. An absolute recommendation from us - extremely friendly and attentive service and very tasty, special food. We will definitely come back 👌

Went there for the first time with my boyfriend. Nice polite staff. Went there for the second time with my mother and little brother. Weird waitress, didn't wipe the table when I asked because of all the crumbs from the guests sitting there before us. Spoon for latte macchiato had disgusting, really greasy grease fingerprints. The waitress looked stupid because we wanted a new, clean one. Only our coffee drinks and cocoa came. We waited for everything else and asked casually after an hour… “Yeah, oops, we forgot that.” Paid and left. If they don't want guests and look and react strangely when asked politely, then they shouldn't run a cafe. Accordingly, I advise everyone I know not to go there because hygiene and cleanliness is a foreign concept to them. I have to gag now when I think about the greasy fingerprint. It was also so disgustingly yellow. In any case, you will miss a lot of customers because I have a disgusting spoon and leftover food crumbs table picture and like to show it around at work🫶🏼 Goes to every cafe in Marburg, I feel like I've tried them all, but no one needs to visit this one.

Had an great experience here! The blueberry pancakes are truly to die for! When you’re visiting you should definitely try them! Pinsa was good as well. The service was friendly and fast despite it being quite full. Also there are many milk alternatives which was fantastic! (Try some coconut milk on your next go :))

Completely unfriendly. My partner and I came on Saturday lunchtime at around 2 p.m. and wanted to get a table for two people. Of course we could also wait and we could understand if there wasn't a table for us. But!! We came and the waiter simply said: no, everything was occupied. Without hello and without the suggestion to wait. Then the barista said: Maybe you could wait (which the waiter actually suggested to us), we waited and saw that after about 3-4 minutes 3 or 4 tables were already free. Then the waiter called us and instead of giving us a seat, he walked away and left us waiting in the café. It was also too warm and you couldn't sit comfortably. We just left the café. Wouldn't recommend anyone. Very unfriendly, unpleasant and bad!

Very bad attention. We waited 40 minutes for some coffees and we even missed the train only to be told in the end that it was a system error. Despite having arrived early, we were the last to be served, which generated great indignation. Insert photo of how we feel. P.S: it's a picture of the restaurant

Food was okay but not a must have. The selection of food was good and there was definitely something for every taste. Always very crowded, lots of people in very little space. The view is super beautiful.

Christmas vibes, the roasted salad was awesome 🤩

Very cozy cafe, great view, good selection of products. Everything we tried was tasty to very tasty. Prices are okay. Service was quite slow, but was also very busy. We'd love to come back.

Nice location, great breakfast offering, beautiful view of Marburg. Reservation makes sense. You'll be happy to come back here.

Oh man, I'm really happy every time I go to Basic with my friends, it's just awesome :)

Wir waren schon zum Frühstücken und auch zum Abendessen dort. Das Essen ist lecker und sehr schön angerichtet. Geschmacklich sind die Veganen Gerichte absolut top und die Auswahl ist gut. Ein paar Vegane Nachtische wären noch super , aber wäre für mich kein Kriterium dort nicht mehr hinzugehen. Einen Stern Abzug gibt es für den Service. Die Bedienungen waren bisher alle super nett. Jedoch dauert es ewig bis jemand zum Tisch kommt , sodass man Getränke nachbestellen kann. Da ist auch die Uhrzeit und der Tag egal, die Erfahrung machten wir bisher dort immer.

Das Basic ist mein liebstes Café in Marburg. Es ist der perfekte Ort zum Brunchen mit Freundinnen, Abendessen mit der Familie oder um bei einem Chai ein Buch zu lesen. Die Atmosphäre ist sehr angenehm und das große Panoramafenster bietet eine tolle Aussicht über Marburg! 🌞 Es gibt eine große und abwechslungsreiche Auswahl verschiedener Speisen und Getränke, die allesamt mit viel Mühe und liebevoll zubereitet werden. Meine Favoriten sind die hausgemachte Mango Maracuja Limonade, die Blaubeer-Bananen Pancakes und die leckeren Bowls.

Nettes Café. Es ist zwar etwas zu hipster, aber das ist OK.

War mit meiner Freundin zum ersten Mal dort, und hat uns richtig gut gefallen !

Tolles Ambiente, freundliche Bedienung und tolle Essensauswahl (auch vegetarisch / vegan). 😊🌱

Der Kuchen echt lecker ( Schokokuchen😃)...toll angerichtet... Der Cappuccino ist auch sehr gut und wenn du dann noch einen der begehrten Fensterplätze bekommst mit einer tollen Aussicht über Marburg, ist es perfekt.

Haben dort gefrühstückt, war echt gut, aber ich finde es im Vergleich zu anderen Läden recht teuer. Der Service war okay für einen Samstagmorgen, ja es war viel los, aber dies sollte trotzdem kein Grund sein bis zur ersten Bestellung für einen Kaffee gute 15min Wartezeit einzureichen, aber okay wie gesagt, viel los. Wir hatten online reserviert, hat auch alles prima funktioniert. Kleiner Tipp: Wenn das EC Kartenlesegerät nicht funktioniert, sagt es bevor man bestellt... Nicht beim zahlen, kommt blöd wenn man kein Bargeld einstecken hat und sich darauf verlässt (tel. Info das Kartenzahlung möglich ist). Wir kommen sicherlich mal wieder um zu schauen wie es beim zweiten Mal zugehen wird.

Wir waren zum Frühstück hier. Tolles Ambiente, schöne Aussicht und leckeres Essen. Ich ziehe leider trotzdem 2 Sterne ab da wir 40 Minuten auf unsere beiden Teller warten mussten. Meinen Pott Kaffee habe ich gerne zu meinem Frühstück. Aber da war der letzte Rest kalt. Ich hatte das "Basic" Frühstück für 15,90 € Der Brie-Käse hat es allerdings nicht auf meinen Teller geschafft, obwohl auf der Karte angegeben. Die Pancakes waren etwas zäh...aber alles sehr lecker.

Cappuccino was cold but ok. Best service and views Insta @arashmzh

Ein unvergleichliches Frühstückserlebnis! Die spektakuläre Aussicht über die Stadt hat jeden Moment noch beeindruckender gemacht. Hervorzuheben ist auch die außergewöhnlich zuvorkommende Bedienung sowie die kreativ zubereiteten Speisen, die unsern Aufenthalt in Marburg wahrhaft einzigartig gestaltet haben. Absolut empfehlenswert! 😍🍽️👌🌟

Frühstück war der Hammer! Tolle Aussicht auf die Stadt; sehr nette Bedienung und toll angerichtetes Essen! Hat den Trip nach Marburg echt zusätzlich abgerundet. Empfehlenswert 👌🤩

Die Wartezeit beträgt für Getränke C.a 50 min und Essen C.a 1:20stunde

Essen und Getränke wurden schnell aufgenommen aber die warte Zeit beträgt über 1 std für die Getränke und das Essen auch

Man kann sehr gut Frühstücken und Kaffee trinken. Die Bedienung ist immer nett und freundlich. Es hat ein Flair sehr gemütlich.

Cozy place with a nice views. Different tasty options of foods and drinks including vegan options. Not expensive and kind personal.

Tolles Essen und schönes Lokal! Eine sehr schöne Aussicht! Das Personal nett aber etwas gestresst! Leider konnte man such die freien Plätze nicht selber aussuchen, das fande ich nicht so gut !!!

Ein wirklich sehr schönes Restaurant mit einer guten Auswahl an Hauptspeisen und Heißgetränken. Ein Highlight ist hier sicherlich das Frühstück. Auch zahlreiche vegane Optionen werden angeboten. Einzig die Bedienung lässt manchmal etwas auf sich warten, teilweise dauert es ziemlich lange, bis man die Karte erhält oder das Essen an den Tisch gebracht wird.

Sehr schönes Restaurant, wo man sowohl gut frühstücken oder zu Mittag oder zu Abend essen kann. Die mette und professionelle Bedienung ergänzt das gute Essen und die akzeptablen Preise.

Das Lokal ist schön eingerichtet und hat einen gemütlichen Flair. Wir waren zum frühstücken dort, das Essen war in Ordnung, außer dass die Brötchen wahnsinnig trocken waren. Für den Preis von 12,90€ kann man frische Brötchen erwarten. Es waren relativ wenig Kellner im Verhältnis zur Größe des Restaurants, wodurch diese ausgelastet waren. Unsere Bestellung kam trotzdem relativ zügig und bis auf ein Wasser das vergessen wurde war alles gut.
