Cafe Del Sol Erfurt in Erfurt

As beautifully presented and delicious as the food for the grown-ups is, the "Tom Tomato" pasta (pasta with tomato sauce) for kids is a joke. Especially since the name suggests tomato rather than pasta. 😂 Visited on September 21, 2025, at 5:00 PM.

Always happy, alone, with friends or grandchildren, everyone enjoys it.

Great customer service and atmosphere, where you can relax and have a good time. Seems like the drinks are the best part of the menu. The food is similar to what you'd find at an American chain.

Extremely attentive and friendly service. The BBQ ribs were very good, as was the dessert!

A superb service with great conditions, always in a good mood and with a funny saying. Top!

The food is delicious and the staff are great! You feel comfortable and welcome. 😊

It's a good place to go. We had a great waiter.

Great. Went there for brunch with a friend. The breakfast selection was amazing, but the lunch selection wasn't quite as great, but that didn't bother us, as we didn't get much done after breakfast 🤪 The service was super friendly and very prompt 👍💪

The ambiance is great and typical of the chain. My only minor criticism is that the burger still has a lot of room for improvement. The patties are frozen, in my opinion. Homemade patties would be more appropriate. Or get fresh ones at Metro. The pinsa was very good. As a little highlight, they also come with scissors for cutting it into small pieces. Something different. 👍

It was a very nice evening. The food was good. The service was very pleasant and friendly.

Good value for money, great service. OK selection.

We've been here several times, and as always, it was lovely! The staff was very friendly, and the food didn't take long to arrive. The drinks aren't very cheap, but the homemade lemonades are very refreshing. And the food is also very good. We'll definitely be back again ☺️

We came here for dinner for the first time in a long time, just to unwind from the stressful week. As always, even after such a long wait, we weren't disappointed—it was and always is a wonderful experience. One thing really impressed us and was the icing on the cake: the waitress Sabrina "Hexhex" was friendly, fast, and simply authentic, with such energy (hats off to her) that many people could still learn a thing or two from her. So go ahead and let yourself be enchanted by the "little witch Sabrina" and enjoy the food.

I won't be back. One of the waitresses was totally pushy and rude. I find the way she spoke to the customers inappropriate. And asking customers repeatedly to order a Ramazzotti is also unnecessary! I finished my burger, but the beef was cold and hard. Things are definitely better at McDoof. The peach iced tea is absolutely delicious. I just don't understand why there's an empty skewer in the glass. The others had a fruit on the skewer 🤷 The restroom smelled bad, and there was no toilet paper. The last drinks ordered were charged, but never brought. So there's still room for improvement in every area. 😉

Very nice people, nice atmosphere and tasty food.

All in all, top-notch 👍. Lovely atmosphere. Nice people. 💃 Very tasty food. 🥘

The food and drinks were delicious as always. However, I had the feeling that the schnitzel had gotten smaller, or rather, the already not-so-cheap prices had gone up a bit. You have to be able to afford, or even want to, the lovely ambiance of the Cafè del Sol.

A fantastic restaurant. Super tasty, friendly service. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended.

Four of us came here for lunch around lunchtime. We had very friendly service, and the food was also good. There's plenty of free parking outside. We'd love to come back again. Klaus and Conny

Beautiful location. Great service.

The food was too expensive and the meat was cheap and the fries weren't the best either.

Highly recommended! The staff are super friendly and accommodating. Despite the crowds, both the drinks and food were served very quickly. Everything was fresh and truly delicious! I highly recommend Café del Sol. It's definitely worth a visit again and again.😊

I've been to Café del Sol several times in the evening with friends, and it's always a great idea. The food is consistently delicious, and the drinks are a real highlight. The stylish ambiance creates a pleasant, summery atmosphere that makes you feel immediately at home. Simply fantastic all around; I'm always happy to come back!

A truly great atmosphere, albeit a bit noisy at times due to the architecture. The outdoor areas are truly cozy and highly recommended. The staff are friendly and helpful, happy to answer any questions about the menu. The only drawback: the kitchen unfortunately relies heavily on convenience foods, or at least that's the impression. But it was still tasty.

Just as perfect as in Iserlohn!!!

A lovely place to enjoy a leisurely meal or a coffee. Lovely ambiance

The food was excellent, but Sabrina was truly exceptional. She was very competent, friendly, and you can tell she really enjoys her job. Keep it up, we'll be back!

We've enjoyed coming here for many years. Of course, the changes of today's times are noticeable here, too (especially the staff shortage). But we're usually served super quickly, and no matter what we order, it's always delicious. And of course, the staff are great too, and they always deserve a tip. 😉

Yes. But I've had better burgers. This one today could have been a little more seasoned.

We went for brunch today (Sunday). From the phone reservation to the waitress on site, everyone was super friendly. Excellent service, not intrusive but always attentive to the guests. Unfortunately, that's a rare occurrence these days. Plus, an extensive, delicious, and fresh buffet. Thank you so much! We'd love to come back.

The access and ample, free parking are very convenient. We were there at lunchtime, and the restaurant wasn't very busy. I had a pinsa with avocado, but it was still very underripe. For a drink, I highly recommend the homemade iced tea. The service was very friendly, but you shouldn't clear the table while people are still eating.

“Unfortunately disappointing – service and organization urgently need improvement.” We had called before our visit to ask if a reservation was necessary. The staff told us, “No, there are enough seats.” There wasn't a single free seat outside, so we had to sit inside. After being seated, it took about 15 minutes for someone to come and take our order. We didn't receive our drinks for another 30 minutes, so a total of 45 minutes of waiting time – before we even asked about appetizers (which, unfortunately, didn't happen automatically). About 15 minutes later, we ordered an appetizer and main course together. Here, too, another wait of about 20 minutes. The food itself was, unfortunately, equally disappointing: • The wrong sauces were served with the house bread. Substitutions weren't possible. • My ordered burger didn't arrive at all. • The bacon I ordered was instead on my son's plate, just on top of his fries. The waitress dropped her tray, and the drinks landed on the guests at the next table. This was very unpleasant to witness and underscores the impression of a lack of routine and overwork in the service department. ⸻ We understand the stress in the restaurant industry and that mistakes can happen – but this multitude of mishaps and the lack of organization should be a clear wake-up call for management. If qualified staff is hard to find, consider offering better conditions or pay – after all, the prices charged here are by no means low. One expects a certain standard of service.

Everything took a very long time, and the service was a bit inattentive (it wasn't busy and it was a weekday), but the food was very good, and we still had a lovely evening. ☺️👍🏻

The menu is quite limited, but the food was delicious. I love the atmosphere, especially in the summer with the terrace.

We finally went for brunch again. I have to say, it's improved quite a bit. Vegetarians also have a good selection. The only downside is that the hot portion of the brunch isn't so great for vegetarians (except for the egg selection). There's room for improvement there.

Good food, good value for money, suitable for the industry...

We had a very spontaneous visit, with very friendly and quick service! A lovely atmosphere and a wide selection of dishes (including vegetarian options). We'd love to visit Café de Sol again! 😊

My chosen burger and fries were both charged more than the menu stated! (The burger was €1.30, the fries were €2.70.) I asked the waitress about it, but she didn't offer any compensation.

Very tasty food. Rich and good. Friendly and helpful staff. Would love to come back.

Portions have gotten smaller over the years. I'm allowed to bring my dog, so I give it 10 stars.

The café is conveniently located on the main road and offers ample parking – very convenient. It was already busy in the morning, which speaks volumes about the quality. I particularly enjoyed the delicious breakfast buffet. You can sit inside or outside, and the guest area is spacious. The staff was friendly and attentive. Overall, a pleasant atmosphere – it's a pleasure to be here. I'll definitely be back!

Things used to be better here... We waited over an hour for our food. Guests who arrived much later than us got their food earlier... We visited with six people (two children) at 6 p.m. and were forgotten despite ordering. Anything can happen—but no apology or offer. It's a shame.

After a good 20 minutes, we got up and left. There were four employees behind the counter and they were so deep in conversation that they didn't have time to ask why we were even sitting there...

We went there for coffee today. I'm a regular customer and have been here several times. Unfortunately, today I was very disappointed. The service was terrible. Unfriendly; you're simply overlooked and not noticed. We paid almost €8 each for a coffee, as a large drink costs an extra €3.60. This borders on customer fraud, as large drinks aren't declared. Does that mean a €4 drink plus an extra €3.60... making almost €8 for a large macchiato? That's certainly not normal. When I asked about it, I received a blunt, unfriendly answer. Please rework the staff. Thank you.

We were there today for lunch with a group of six, and it was absolutely terrible. It started with a 30-minute wait before our orders were even taken, followed by over an hour of waiting for the food to arrive. On top of that, the meals were served 15 minutes apart, and half the people had already finished eating by the time the last portions were served. To top it all off, the service was unfriendly, and they offered a witty tip. I quote: "Just don't order a starter, then you won't have to wait so long." In conclusion, I can't recommend this restaurant.

In my opinion, I wouldn't recommend it. We waited over an hour for our food, and it was cold, too. A little tip for long waits: don't order an appetizer, otherwise your receipt will be added to the back of the menu. - That was the waitress's tip, thanks again for that!

We were there for a business meeting. The breakfast was very good. But the tables are so close together that there's barely enough room for four people. That could perhaps be improved.

It was very nice here today. The food and service were excellent. The only thing to complain about was the volume of the music and therefore the volume of the guests. It was impossible to have a quiet conversation. Hence, one star 🌟 less for the ambiance.

As always, very good and reasonably priced.

Very friendly service, but when it's full it's always a bit loud.

Unfortunately, we couldn't sit outside in June when it was 20 degrees and 6 p.m.

The perfect short break....great food, great service, great ambiance....we always try a different restaurant and always come to the conclusion: Cafe del sol is the only real one, no matter if brunch, lunch, dinner, a drink or something sweet in the afternoon...we are always right here

Very nice, the food was delicious, the staff were friendly and always smiling. I highly recommend it. The atmosphere and ambiance also matched the ambiance. We had pinsa, various salads, schnitzel, fries, etc. Everything was very, very good. There's something for everyone, even vegetarians and vegans.

The breakfast buffet is very varied and the value is good. The rest is made up for by the drinks. 😁 Fancy a nice breakfast with the family? 👍🏻

What can I say? A huge thank you to Sabrina for her good mood, her personality, and her service 😁 When you have shift managers like her, you've hit the jackpot 😁 All in all, it's always worth coming back here 😁 Best wishes to the whole team and stay the way you are, because you're exactly right. The world needs people like her ❤️

Loud, buffet almost completely empty, slow service.

Unfortunately, a complete disaster. The atmosphere was very nice and the service friendly. Unfortunately, our order was completely forgotten. Only after repeatedly asking the waitress was it taken care of – but to no avail. Ultimately, we canceled the order and waited almost two hours for nothing.

Super friendly service, very delicious food and a great atmosphere!

Beautiful location, delicious food, and friendly staff! What more could you want? 👌🏻👍🏻

Great brunch buffet and very friendly staff.

Mega refreshing service and great very fast food.Come next year when we are in Erfurt again

Café del Sol. Because it's a chain, you know what to expect and what you'll get. The interiors are identical at almost all of the "shops" and are really well-designed. We sat outside on the really large terrace. The service was prompt, and the food there is really good and delicious, both in terms of quality and the way it's prepared. We'd be happy to go back!

03/25: 70. My parents celebrated brunch there on a Sunday at the end of March. The price for the food, since we basically had breakfast and lunch, was perfectly reasonable, especially considering the drink prices. Nice service. 12/24: Went there for brunch. Making a reservation worked out great, even after a long time. The food was very extensive and varied. We had very friendly and competent service. We'd be happy to come back.

Definitely highly recommended! Great selection, something for everyone, delicious food, healthy options, great service, and a magical atmosphere. 👍👍🥰❣️

Highly recommended, great food (the burger in the picture was cut in half by us) and very friendly service. The interior is beautifully open, with a nice decor and a good ambiance. The terrace outside is also beautifully designed with plenty of different seating options (wooden benches, stools, regular chairs, sofas, etc.). Overall, the restaurant is highly recommended, both for families and groups of friends.

We made a reservation for two people. We waited for a while, and the staff walked past us. Finally, a waiter took pity on us. The table right by the entrance wasn't great. The buffet was OK. The service was a bit overwhelmed at times, but attentive. I think the price for Sunday brunch is too high. If you like it loud, this is the place for you. But overall, it's good.

Despite its size, it's always very nice here. Unfortunately, it was really cold this time, so we didn't stay long. But the service and food were very good.

Service and food were all very good. It just felt a bit noisy.

We've been to Café del Sol for brunch a few times. The atmosphere is very nice and the selection is also very varied. However, it takes some time for someone to take the drink order. The various dishes from the buffet are only replenished very slowly, many people then wait in front of the empty containers and there is even less space than already.

Great food, great service, good atmosphere

Friendly service, delicious food. Anytime again.

*** 5 stars *** The Café Del Sol in Erfurt is absolutely recommended! The location is spacious and offers space for around 450 guests - ideal for relaxed meetings with friends as well as larger celebrations or company events. The atmosphere is pleasantly relaxed, with a stylish, Mediterranean flair that immediately creates a holiday feeling. The menu is varied and offers something for every taste - from fresh salads and juicy burgers to delicious pasta and grilled dishes. Particularly noteworthy is the breakfast offering on weekends - rich, fresh and with great attention to detail. The service was friendly, attentive and well organized on every visit - despite the size of the café. Special requests were also implemented without any problems. In summer the large terrace invites you to linger, in winter it is cozy and warm inside. Conclusion: An all-round successful gastronomic experience in Erfurt. I would love to come back and can fully recommend Café Del Sol!!! *** Joie de vivre lives here ***

We had reserved in advance because it was our first visit and we didn't know if it would be very crowded. The food was very tasty and you didn't have to wait long. Would definitely come again. Lots of choice of food and also a lot for vegetarians and vegans. 🌱 🥑

Just disappointing in every way

Great burger, very tasty truffle dip, everything would be great again 👍🏻

A cool location, unfortunately poorly and cheaply managed. The food is of poor quality with unprofessional service. Unfortunately the overall result was bad. We won't be coming back under these circumstances.

It was a lovely experience at Café del Sol. The food was really great, the service was impeccable. Very attentive and quick. There is a small minus point for the volume. You don't understand your own words, let alone those of the waitress. A noise protection project would actually be advisable here. We were there at lunchtime when only half the restaurant was occupied. I don't even want to imagine what it's like in the evening with a full house.

The food is delicious, the staff is friendly and the prices are right.

Really tasty and great atmosphere 👍🏻

We were there on Easter Monday with the whole family. Super funny and friendly service, quick ordering, delicious food and delicious drinks. The cake was great. As a small bonus there was a nesting pigeon to marvel at.

Eat deliciously, kids always find something.

I can recommend Café del Sol to anyone looking for a special place to relax and enjoy.

We were there today for Easter brunch and were disappointed. For me it wasn't brunch but just breakfast. The selection of breakfast was okay but not much and warm food there wasn't a big selection. Furthermore, it is sporty for people who are only around 170 to see what is in the warming containers. You should think about a different structure for the buffet.

Despite pre-ordering food and making a reservation, the food took over 45 minutes. Overall it's a nice restaurant to eat in, I like the atmosphere. Unfortunately the service is very slow and the burgers are not recommended.

A very nice place to eat or drink coffee. The Café del Sol is on the street, but you don't hear much. There is parking on site.

I can only recommend Cafe Del Sol. It was very busy, but the service was super friendly and very quick. Our friendly waitress Celina was great and gave us very good advice. Thanks to the great staff, it was a successful and cozy evening. I would love to go there again and again. Addendum: Reservations by telephone are also no problem. The staff were very friendly, calm and accommodating. I'm really looking forward to the next visit.

No, the breakfast buffet was nothing special and for tea and café the breakfast buffet for three people cost us €110. It's a shame, I had promised more. Feedback received from Café Del Sol and that means: The breakfast buffet cost us around €63 and 1 beer, two cafes, two chamomile teas and two iced teas cost us €40. Sporty!!!

It was a lovely morning with a delicious breakfast. Your employees were very nice.

It's a very nice bar. You can eat well there. Very nice service and great ambience.

Very nice restaurant with the option to sit outside.

It's a nice place for old and young.

When we arrived the restaurant was very full but we still managed to get a seat quickly. That was great. Even when I ordered, I had the feeling that there was a certain pressure to sell; something was offered in addition to every order. But that's also legitimate for me. The food came after over an hour, but it was really tasty and with the restaurant being full, I can live with the wait. I was really disappointed with the dessert! I hadn't specifically ordered one and was still suggested one. I politely declined. Then the waiter comes with the desserts and puts one in front of me, again I declined and said that I had no wishes. So he cleared it away and came back to the table with it and asked twice more if I wanted it. When he said he would otherwise have to throw it away, I said: “Then just give it here”. In fact, that annoyed me because I was full and I would never have ordered this desert because it doesn't suit my taste at all. At the end the desert was also on the bill. When I explained that I had refused it several times and had taken it because otherwise it would have been thrown away, I was told that I had to pay for what I ate. If you're going to force it on me and then have to charge me, then at least give me a discount! Finally you are given a debit card device where you can press the button You don't have to search carefully to avoid tipping. I think that's a disgrace! Unfortunately, this overshadowed what was otherwise a good stay and I don't know if I'll come back again.

As always very tasty whether Castrop or Erfurt delicious

Super tasty breakfast, very friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. Price performance is great, we would like to come back. I can only recommend it

We have been here several times and as always it was great.

We've been there several times and are always satisfied. You may have to wait for your food or drink sometimes, but it's worth it. There's a wide selection on the menu (vegetarian and vegan options are also available), and the Saturday buffet also has something for everyone.

Very nice staff, lots of choice of food and drinks and good service. Food was super tasty.

The lasagne was inedible (bitter taste and caused numbness in the mouth). When the complaint was made, a replacement meal was offered, but the lasagne was still charged in full. Too bad.

A wonderful experience, always worth a visit and Celina, our waiter, and all the employees who work there do a wonderful job

Café del Sol is like a mini vacation. Delicious food - the bowl with shrimp 🍤 is highly recommended. We would be happy to come to you.
