Cafe Del Sol Gelsenkirchen I / Mitte in Gelsenkirchen

Yes, very relaxed place, friendly staff 👍

Were there as a bachelorette party and everything was great. 🥰

From early to late a large and delicious selection of food and drinks... always a pleasure.

The cake does not have a good price-performance ratio

The food was excellent and the staff was very friendly and quick 👍

Like every Cafe Del Sol, good and tasty..

I was there on Monday. A man came to our table who wanted to collect donations. He was very pushy despite rejection and then suddenly walked out. Until I realized he stole my phone. I notified the staff immediately. You said seriously that he had often come and stolen things from customers? I thought I wasn't hearing properly. They also don’t have cameras in the store. Are you letting someone in again who stole from your customers? This is unbelievable and irresponsible.

Sometimes a bit loud. But otherwise very comfortable. Fruit and muesli would be a nice addition to breakfast

Highly recommended! The food was very tasty, especially the schnitzel holiday was a highlight. The service was very nice only one fork was forgotten. The ambience is also very nice, I just think that the schnitzel holiday could have been decorated a little better with palm trees, beach chairs and a bit of sand As well as Hawaii can distribute chains. But that's complaining at a high level.

Absolutely average Order for a single drink was forgotten. Pasta was good, but everything else (in my case mushrooms and sauce) was pretty much missing

Had two coffees here. The taste goes like this. The coffee is too expensive for that. The positive thing is that you get a parking space.

The service was very nice! Ambience as usual (Café del Sol). The food tasted good. BUT: I know that everything has become more expensive - but the portion sizes are now a joke. We each had a "Pinsa", a kind of pizza in size S, but for a price (just under €14) that you would pay for, for example. B. get a pizza twice the size at L'Osteria. I didn't really get full, and it confirmed the impression I'd had for a long time: Café del Sol is (unfortunately) no longer really worth it in terms of price and performance!

We waited for food for 1 hour and the food that arrived was cold and tasteless. It took them 1 and a half hours to clear the table. I hope they cleared the table after us. Price performance is pretty bad

Cocktails were good and the winemaker was really great. But the food was too expensive for a very very small schnitzel, ok it was 2 schnitzels and a kilo of fries. Just too expensive so I definitely won't eat there again.

Three years ago I ate here at least six times a month. In 2025 I can afford this at most 3 times a month. It's unbelievable how much the prices have increased here. What cost 9.90 three years ago now costs 21 euros. Otherwise I can only say positive things about the store. Nice staff, clean tables and the food tastes great. It's a shame you don't have pizza on the menu anymore.

Very clean and the atmosphere is also contemporary. The drinks are all top. However, I found it a bit uncool that the waitress came to our table afterwards and asked if she could take our cups with her even though we hadn't finished drinking yet. If so It would have been shortly before closing time, ok. But the shop was still pretty busy at the time. I can't say anything about the food because I've never eaten there.

Came back from the Sauerland today and wanted to eat something after the trip. We ordered 2 of 4 drinks that were neither carbonated nor tasted like cola. I also did Ordered Pinsa Salami Spicy. I was able to watch as she was mounted and then left standing for 13 minutes. When the three other dishes were ready for my family. They took the pinsa and served it to me cold. The scissors that were lying there broke into two parts and ended up on the floor. I then reported to the service that they had made a new pinsa, but I could see that another guest's pinsa had been there for 20 minutes. I lost my appetite then. I then just ordered a french fry, which was kindly delivered on the house. Nevertheless, I thought that was a shame and would reconsider making the pinsas in the front.

The food is okay, but the service is great (very friendly and very quick). I have been there several times with groups of 4-7 people and we were served very nicely and attentively. Most recently I had for December 20th. Reserved for breakfast with 7 people and we got the most beautiful place and the best service. Paying separately per person, even with 7 people, is not a problem here (you just have to remember what was ordered). There are a large number of parking spaces directly at the house. Only the prices are a bit too high, which devalues ​​this rating slightly in terms of the total number of stars.

great selection at the breakfast buffet, nice staff.

Evaluation: Unfortunately my visit to this restaurant was a very disappointing experience. I ordered a burger that I didn't quite finish. When I asked to take the rest away, I was rudely informed that they cannot accommodate such requests and the burger was simply thrown in the trash instead. It's incomprehensible why a restaurant would refuse this service, especially when it comes to something as simple as a half-eaten burger. This not only shows a lack of customer friendliness, but also a rather wasteful attitude. I definitely won't visit this restaurant again and can't recommend it.

Buffet was a bit slimmed down. I've experienced better.

Prices are too expensive! I'd rather eat at the extra sheet. Here you pay almost €10 for coffee and cake, which is really cheeky. Let alone the courts...

Like ready-to-eat service, catastrophically totally overpriced for the portions you get, had triplets with ruccula for 6 pieces and 4 leaves of ruccula for almost €10

Despite the large number of employees, there is a severe lack of orders to be taken. and despite the fact that it is not that full or crowded.

Impossible service equals grade zero! We were completely ignored with 4 people with reservations for over 40 minutes even though we even drew attention to ourselves. There were enough employees in the restaurant, we saw them all. We're definitely not coming back, why?

There was a piece of glass in my food as shown in the picture. The leader reacted very accommodatingly. Unfortunately the service is far too slow even though it is empty. I can't recommend it at all.

Visually nice, food is average, nothing special. Had pinsa and burgers. Main courses came before starters. Supplements were forgotten. Staff had to be reminded twice. In the end the calculation wasn't correct either. The staff is nice, but you can't run a restaurant like that. Won't go here again.

Unfortunately, the staff would rather take care of the friends who come over to chat than the guests who are waiting to be served

Today I paid €24 for breakfast for the All Summer Long for two people. 2 slices of salami, 2 times turkey breast, 2 slices of cucumber, 1 slice of tomato, 1 small pot of yoghurt (for 2 people), 1 small pot of meat (2 people), 4 slices of cheese, 1 pot of store-bought meat salad (2 people), 2 slices Ham, 1 pot of jam (2 people), 4 rolls and 2 stone hard croissants, 2 boiled eggs. Really poor for the price. I asked the waiter if he could please turn on the patio heater for us, his answer was "Unfortunately no, the boss has forbidden it, we have to save money and if I do that now I'll lose my head". Otherwise, the waiter was very, very nice and often apologized about the heater. One more experience not to go there for breakfast anymore

Unfortunately, one star is even too much. First and last time!! We drove an hour for nothing. Paid over €200 and didn't even get enough. Salad was just green meat and cheese. No tomatoes etc. They made 2 salads incorrectly or made too much of them and we still had to pay for one in the end. Tarte flambée was said to be extra without ham and brought anyway. Service disaster. If you do something wrong you should make it right. Don't blame the customers. Because a customer can't make 10 mistakes at once 😊 never again

Very nice restaurant with good and relatively cheap food

All of the dishes on the “Schnitzel Holiday” were very tasty and came out of the kitchen very quickly, you never had to wait long between servings. The service was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is of course a typical Café Del Sol, but it is nicely laid out and doesn't feel as much like a warehouse as some of the others in this chain.

Like all other Cafes del Sol, you can do that.

So food like at MC Donald's, warm fries + schnitzel not exactly warm either. Salad is always the same. You should look at the menu because something new would make more sense. The extra leaf is better not cold food either.

I find the ambience to feel good. There is a good selection of food. I had pasta, which was very tasty. The service was okay, you have to speak to the right person and then it works great.

Delicious food, including vegan options, nice service and, as always, a sweet atmosphere. Depending on how crowded it is, it can be quite loud at times

Was there on Friday with friends. Once again excellent service always happy

We felt very comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

This only applies to all people who want to use the e-charging column: The petrol vehicles block the e-charging columns here. Even if you see on the map that there are free spaces here, they are blocked by Verbrenner. Café del Sol doesn't do anything here, probably doesn't want to scare away the other guests. The police say they can't do anything here because it's private property. Simply as a warning.

Until 12:00 on Saturday only Buffet option. I usually prefer to order from menu, but this was not possible unfortunately, only few dessert available. Overall this is my second visit of Cafe del Sol chain, ambience and atmosphere always meet expectations. I tried Fresh tea with Basil and lime, tasty combination.

This was our second time here and both times there were problems with the orders. We were a group of 9 people and were missing drinks and a burger. One burger came with the wrong burger sauce and another burger was cold and came new with the wrong fries dip. Food was good. But €5.6 for what feels like 10 sweet potato fries is already steep.

We were there for brunch with 15 people, the service was super friendly and quick so it was a nice and relaxing morning there.

We had a great evening, just had a drink Service was quick and very friendly

Simply great! Friendly service, delicious food and no long waiting times 👍

We had a very nice evening. I can only recommend it

A pleasant atmosphere and polite staff create the perfect conditions for an unforgettable night. A pleasant atmosphere and polite staff create the perfect conditions for an unforgettable evening.

Recommended. Nice service and typical Café Del Sol atmosphere. You feel good.

I would actually have liked to give 5 stars because our service person was really nice... but unfortunately there were a few points that made me not give full marks 🫣Unfortunately the drinks took quite a long time and the main course also had one extra request didn't work... but the decisive point was the dessert... I had already finished mine (it was with ice cream) then came the second part...there were only two of us...that was really stupid... ..We got two coffees on the house at the end.... but we also left €100... I would have liked a little more service... But, as I said, she was very nice ✌️

Good food, nice staff. Unfortunately very loud atmosphere.

So far 🆗. Service was a bit lacking in speed in all areas. Portions too small for me, salad.

The service was very good. The burger is very good, just a bit expensive. Café Del Sol has card machines where you can choose what percentage of tip you would like to return. So if you don't necessarily want to tip 5%, you should take enough cash with you.

I didn't eat anything but the service was great

At 12.30 p.m. on Sunday we were informed that there would be a breakfast buffet until 1 p.m. for €19.90 per person. Eating a Sunday breakfast in 30 minutes would be stressful... there will be cleared away at 1 p.m. Breakfast/brunch a' la card would only have been possible from 1 p.m., and waiting 30 minutes...was not in our interest. So we had to go to McDonald's next door hungry...service starts differently. Too bad

I have been sitting in this wonderful place for more than five years. The service is very good and the atmosphere is more than wonderful. I really like it and prefer it to many restaurants. If there were ten stars I would have given it.

It was probably an unfortunate day for the 6 of us visitors. Endless waiting times for what is ordered, everyone tries to serve everyone, which turns into chaos. After 30 minutes of ordering the food we were informed that there would be no Pinsa. The ambience is great, the service does its best. However, as an owner you should ensure that you have enough staff.

Everything was legga and legga spritzer

We had to wait two hours for food because the hut was full. After complaining, we got our food for free. That was really fair.

Very nice boss, accommodating and the beer was delicious. We were there as part of a concert and were provided with beer until late into the night :-) Greetings from the 2 people from Baden-Baden who were at the beer stand until the end ;-) Thank you.

There were a total of 6 people in Café del Sol. Drinks came quickly and the food didn't take long either. The employees were all very friendly and helpful. We will be back definitely. 👍

If you sit down at the entrance, you will simply be overlooked and will not be able to order. Self-initiative is required. Ice cream parlor is ok, I could have had two of them. Otherwise: Has a bit of Alex's flair...

I would like to thank my cousins ​​Ramazan and Alparslan Kalaycı, we had a nice time.

She went out with her daughter and son and little Emir for a cappuccino

The Café del Sol in Gelsenkirchen is located on one of the city's busiest streets. The volume level is accordingly when you sit outside. In addition, the “usual suspects” cruise around the building in their leased cars. The ambience has the typical look that you know from this chain. The staff was friendly, but really busy. The food was of average canteen quality. The salad was pretty bad, the schnitzel was okay, the warmed mushroom sauce was heated differently. Sometimes hot, sometimes lukewarm. Suggests insufficient stirring after heating in a microwave. You can go there, but it's definitely not an "aha" experience.

Schnitzel is delicious, salad is very bad and looks like it has been sitting for a long time (brown edges). After complaining there was only a "oh... Yes... Would you like a new one?" No one asks whether it was tasty or whether there are any other wishes. Burgers were brought with few fries and it was said that there would be more soon. Everyone finished eating and then a small plate of fries arrived. The other two are still missing the fries. Addendum: Compensation was offered which we accepted.

The Tesla Supercharger is not working. Yes, of course the café can't do anything about that, but it's still annoying. I forgot to mention that I called ahead and found out from an employee at the restaurant that Tesla Superchargers were available.

Food tasty and attractively prepared; Service friendly and attentive.

We went to breakfast, had the glutton's breakfast. Was ideal for 2 girls. The O juice was super tasty, but it also had its price...but whatever, treat yourself 😜😁

Every time I visit a Café del Sol, no matter where, I think to myself: You can do it, but you don't have to. This time due to a lack of alternatives... At least it was pretty empty and the wait wasn't that long.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Café de Sol is fantastic! The waitress Leonie impressed us with her friendly and always attentive service. Highly Recommended!

System catering without highlights neither in the area of ​​interior design nor outdoor catering... modernization concept overdue

It's a joke what you get for the money at ChilliChesseFries. Almost €10 for a few fries and a little chili. The service was nice and attentive. Price performance completely underground.

Were there with a large group. I ordered the hummus fries and they came without pomegranate seeds. I let them know straight away and all the waitress said was: oh, that's right. I'll check. After 15 minutes, when we had all eaten, she came to the table again after my searching look. Her answer: There were no pomegranates on it because you didn't have any left but she hopes I still enjoyed it. When paying I still mentioned again that I didn't have any pomegranates on the fries, but I was still supposed to pay the full price. It's really sad that at least a small amount of compensation wasn't made or something was deducted from the price. Sorry, but I don't need to go there again...

A great restaurant for a spontaneous meeting. The food is absolutely top. Staff friendly. It was a pleasure.

Cocktails and long drinks contain mostly juice or cola. The main ingredients, rum or vodka, are hardly present. I wouldn't expect that from a long drink. A pity

Too close to the main road, constant honking from vehicles and in the 2 hours we were there the siren went off 3 times, the restaurant can't help it but that's how it is, you can't enjoy the good food in peace.

Yesterday I went to this cafe for breakfast with my girlfriend. I chose the good morning breakfast. There came 3 slices of turkey breast, 2 slices of cheese, jam and butter with cucumbers and tomatoes. That was ok but unfortunately only with a bun. If you also order a roll, one roll costs €1. This is cheeky and a rip-off. You would automatically have to get 2 rolls for this breakfast. I wouldn't recommend breakfast a la cart to anyone. I also took a picture, unfortunately I don't know how to upload it here.

Overall pretty good. I bought an apple pie, it was very disappointing.

Mass delivery, like any other Cafe del sol, good for a small coffee, quite noisy, not very inviting ambience, inattentive service. Not my favorite.

The Café de Sol is a chain and is more of a system restaurant. But the service was very nice, the fries were nice and crispy and the burger had a decent patty. There are deductions in the ambience, as you are almost sitting on the busy, two-lane road. It's nicely decorated inside, but due to the large room it can quickly become noisy and not very comfortable. But overall still four stars.

We were here for holiday brunch. The atmosphere is great and cozy. The selection of dishes is very good, varied, fresh, and also tastes great. The only point of criticism was the service. Although it really wasn't full (about 3-4 tables inside and some outside) We barely saw the waiter, meaning the used plates were piled up on our table. We would also have liked to order more drinks, but there was no waitress to be found. Price ok.

It is understandable that prices have increased, but why portions have decreased at the same time is not clear. For example, BBQ Ribs are almost 2 times.

I got severe food poisoning from a burger here, can't recommend eating here. Hygiene standards don't seem to be taken very seriously here.

Super great chain of restaurants, this location also convinced me. Due to delivery problems we had to change our minds about the food, but in the end it was still super tasty and the service was quick and friendly.

Ambiance is standard as with any Café de Sol. I like it so far, but the service is terrible. You can't wait 20-30 minutes to be able to order. You call the waitress to pay/order, then they always say “I’ll call my colleague”. Is there one person responsible for everything and the others just call their colleague? It's the same every time, so it's not worth a visit anymore. More waiting time than the entire stay there. The topic of tips is bad, they put the device in front of your face so that you can decide for yourself how much you want to give, that requires a tip. If I want to tip, I will do so. Everyone in Keller was really nice except for one lady. Everyone is probably paid with money, except for her, that's the impression she gives. Well, if you have a lot of patience to wait, you can go there.

We were there at around 3pm. The ambience and the food is solid and tasty as for a Café del Sol. Unfortunately, a few things were mixed up in our order (wrong side dish, wrong dip and there were cucumbers on the citizen that had been previously canceled). We only had service at the table twice within an hour. Once for the order and once when we asked to pay.

Hello people who can read my message here now know at least that I am not a ghost. Yesterday I was alone in the restaurant around 3 p.m. I sat down and chose a delicious dish. I then had about 40 minutes. Waited for the waiter to take my order. At some point I noticed that they didn't even notice me, even though I was sitting right under their noses. I tried to show some signs of life so that they would see me. I moved the menu back and forth, picked up the ashtray, coughed loudly a few times, but unfortunately I wasn't noticed. Unfortunately, I had to go to the neighboring shop because I was very hungry. I can't tell you what the store tastes like because I didn't get any food. I can't tell you what the service is like, maybe I really was a ghost and they really didn't see me RIGHT under their NOSE!!!!!! Maybe they didn't want to see me because the waiters had to work too. But I can tell you one thing. Where I parked my vehicle I saw 4-5 employees smoking outside. I think the people are all underpaid. Nevertheless, I will go there again until I can give you a proper review. YOU can comment on my message, Then I really know that I am not a ghost. Kind regards to you all😘

We were there at lunchtime during the week. It was therefore very empty. There was enough parking space, the food (Pinsa, Greek salad with chicken, chicken schnitzel with sambal sauce and fries, noodles) always tasted good and fresh. The Café del Sol is also known for its delicious spritzers. Rabarb juice spritzer and passion fruit spritzer are both very tasty. The service was attentive and nice. Gladly again! At least during the week.

Service was bad and we had to wait 20 minutes until we could place our order. The pizzas are getting smaller and smaller, you could count the fries with one hand. Sauces and cutlery were missing, we had to wait another 5 minutes until a waiter came and we could say it. 1 star was even too much

The service was great and the breakfast was great

Went there for brunch yesterday (Mother's Day) with a group of about 15 people. Two people from our group wanted to order only a few breakfast components a la carte or a pure breakfast buffet instead of brunch. Both were NOT possible. You were FORCED to order brunch. ALL drinks were exclusive. The price of a 0.75 l bottle of mineral water was . 7.40 €, and 3.40 € for a normal cup of coffee, you quickly lose the desire to ever enter this location again. The quality of the food justify the 2 stars. The service crew tried hard, but we still had to wait approx . Waited 20 minutes around lunchtime for the brunch dishes to be refilled. When we left the restaurant, all members of our group agreed that this was our first and last time visiting this location. Maybe a reason for the management of the "Cafe del Sol" to think about the pricing and the selection of offers. We will definitely book our next Mother's Day as well as other planned celebrations in a different location in the future. It's actually a shame, because the outdoor and indoor areas are pleasantly designed.

No problem at 9 a.m., everything was great. In the evening the noise level is unbearable.

Good welcome, pleasant, fast service. Varied choice. A pleasant place to dine

Customer satisfaction is zero even though I canceled the order, they didn't deduct it from their charges, they took extra money, their waiters are very bad

It was wonderful to be here. Very nice staff ♥️

Everything was great and everything stayed the same as before Corona 😄

Der Service hätte besser und aufmerksamer sein können. Getränke und Essen kamen zeitversetzt und ein Essen wurde vergessen. Bei den Preisen kann man Qualität erwarten, was leider nicht zutreffend ist. Wir waren zu viert und alle waren gleichermaßen enttäuscht über das Essen. Selbst auf das Anrichten scheint kein Wert gelegt zu werden. Wir würden einen Besuch im Café del Sol Gelsenkirchen definitiv nicht weiterempfehlen.

They don't serve free tap water. Water glass 0.25l costs 3 euro 40 cents. Crazy

You can have a good meal here and also enjoy a delicious cocktail. I always prefer the café in Gelsenkirchen because the one in Erle is usually fuller. Here you can usually get a spot spontaneously, even without a reservation. The staff is always very friendly 😊

The waiter didn't understand our order correctly, or the kitchen did it wrong, pizza was cold and small, we got the wrong dressing on the salad and etc.. Heating on the terrace is not allowed on some because the central said chairs are uncomfortable Yesterday the lid was still there, today the waiter can't find it. Very unprofessional.
