Cafe Del Sol Marl in Marl

I had breakfast there on Sunday; yes, it was delicious, but I found it too expensive. The staff was very friendly.

The food took ages to arrive. We went with colleagues and the food took more than 1h to arrive, and when we ordered the second round of schnitzel, it took 1h more! They have an all you can eat schnitzel and they could have that optimized, it’s not that hard to make it. Anyway, have patience

The servants were well-disposed and polite, but their wits seemed not to be equally distributed among them. The order was forgotten, and the waiting time lengthened, even though the halls of the house were hardly filled with guests. Nevertheless, the meal was acceptable, and the prices proved to be reasonable.

There were three of us. It was a spontaneous decision. When we asked if there was a free table, we were politely told we could choose one. BUT we should check the reserved signs ourselves… So we played a kind of memory game, finding a table that fit our time constraints… Well, at least we got to see almost the whole place… and all the other guests saw us… I can also say that the whole place has a very nice atmosphere. The drinks were standard, and the nachos we had as a snack were fine! The service was super friendly!

Okay for a quick bite, but everything was just average and the service was very slow at lunchtime. That's annoying if you just want to grab a quick bite. It's also quite noisy there, like almost all Cafe del Sol locations.

Slow service , tired team no professional

Bad burgers, dry patties like shoe soles

Everything was fine, the service was friendly, and the food was good.

Unfortunately, a very disappointing visit. The café was almost empty, but we still had to wait about 20 minutes for our drinks. The waiter politely apologized for the long wait, which we appreciated – but overall, the delay was still hard to understand given the lack of business. My fresh mint tea was made almost entirely with thick stems, with hardly any leaves. One of the teas also contained a rubber band, which had apparently been overlooked when bundling the mint. The tea was subsequently replaced, but again served with mostly stems. I politely addressed the waiter and mentioned that I thought there were too many stems in the tea. He replied very firmly that the stems were what gave it its flavor. I calmly explained that this wasn't actually true and that the aroma was primarily in the leaves. The waiter then became loud and ended the conversation in annoyance without further addressing the feedback. After such an incident and the discovery of a foreign object in the drink, one would have expected at least a sincere apology or a drink on the house. Instead, we were left with a very unpleasant impression – and unfortunately, we finally understood why the store was so empty on a Sunday evening.

We were at Café de Sol today, October 18, 2025, and had a thoroughly enjoyable evening. The pumpkin pizza and the truffle pasta were both excellent, perfectly balanced in flavor, and beautifully presented. We would especially like to mention our waiter, Marco, who was incredibly attentive and practically anticipated our every request. You rarely experience service like that, so it's a huge compliment! We felt completely at home and would love to come back.

I've been a customer here for years, but it's never been this bad and unfriendly. I ordered two burgers with fries, but the burgers came without fries. After asking twice to different employees, they finally came, but our burgers were cold by then. It was only because the waitress, Valentina, mistyped that another young waiter had to apologize. The waitress knew she'd made a mistake and that the other colleague had served us, but she never came back, even though she was constantly watching us from a distance. It's unacceptable to eat bad food thanks to the waiter and still pay full price. The boss should take care of this if customer satisfaction is important to him. I don't think I'll be back.

Great service and excellent food. I'll be going there often. Yazen is very friendly and engaging. 🙌🏼😊

I had dinner here with my girlfriend, and it was delicious. Not only was it homemade, but it was quick and the portions were just right, not too full and just right. The service was very friendly and attentive. Prices were reasonable and not overpriced. We reserved a table by phone. You can also reserve online, but be aware that the table is only reserved for two hours!

We went to the café today for a schnitzel break, and it was very disappointing. We had to wait 45 minutes for our drinks. Instead of pilsner, they brought wheat beer. The fries with the first schnitzel were lukewarm at best. Instead of turkey, they sometimes served pork. The second schnitzel didn't arrive for two hours. They lie about an offer that isn't really one because you simply don't get any food. Today was my last time there.

So we arrive for a schnitzel meal, booked a table at 6 p.m. We don't get our food until 7:30 p.m., and are supposed to pay €18.90 for it. Then we're told we can only order one at a time, not two or three. We should always order the schnitzels one after the other. The weird thing is, you can only eat one, and that's it. Never again.

They take an incredibly long time to bring the food. Sometimes it's really quick, but sometimes we wait more than 40 minutes for the food. It's unacceptable.

A very simple breakfast (a rose roll with sausage and cheese) took over 30 minutes to arrive, simply because a fried egg was also ordered. According to the waitress, this completely threw off the "schedule." When the breakfast finally arrived, the coffee, which was served immediately after ordering, was almost empty and cold. Overall, quite disappointing.

A delicious meal here today, all in all, I highly recommend this restaurant. Thanks to the CDS Marl team. See you next time, Edgar. ;-)

This was my first time with you. I was really impressed. I'd love to come back 😊

Very friendly service. The portions could have been a bit larger.

The terrace has a holiday atmosphere, but it's quite noisy inside when it's full.

Café del Sol is and remains a very good restaurant with a pleasant ambiance, attentive service, and food for everyone: buffet-lovers, vegetarians, vegans, carnivorous plants, those with a sweet tooth, schnitzel eaters, and fennel lovers. Delicious, high-quality food and affordable.👍

Just what you'd expect from a classic Cafe Del Sol: a very pleasant atmosphere, very friendly service, and always a cool joke. The food is as good as ever, and there's something for everyone 👍🏼.

Standard dishes: burgers, fries, pizza, pasta. Not interesting. Judging by the name, I would like something Spanish (tapas, tortilla, paella) It's not good at all when 40 guests order different dishes at the same time. We had to wait for the food for an hour. The tomato soup was like watered down ketchup - not tasty at all. The teriyaki chicken pinza was also so-so. I don't want to go there again.

Simply good food in a sophisticated atmosphere.

I have always enjoyed going there and today I found the opportunity to visit again, even though I live in Lower Saxony.

Where do I start and where do I stop, from the cold food to the long wait for a cafe, so thanks but no thanks, cafe del sol Marl without me!

Always happy to go there. Good food, very friendly staff. Plenty of parking. Top

The breakfast buffet was very good, as always. The selection was plentiful and everything was delicious. However, the brunch lunch dishes could be better. The selection here was a bit limited. The service was good, and the staff were very friendly and accommodating.

Good food and drinks, very friendly and helpful service and a nice atmosphere.

Everything was wonderful. The food, the atmosphere, the staff... the weather was beautiful, and so was our atmosphere... Thank you. Staff members Esma and Yasin were especially attentive. Thank you for your efforts. 🙌🏻🌹

The service was excellent and the food very good.

The food has deteriorated considerably. For the price, you get a schnitzel that's a patty. The burger is practically a rubber sole. Some food arrives cold at the table. The staff is friendly and genuinely committed to satisfying guests. The soap dispensers in the restrooms are broken. Conclusion: You can come here for a drink, but not for a meal. The manager should think about this. It's a shame that the quality of the food has deteriorated so much.

Never again schnitzel, only molded schnitzel. Dessert was completely awful. The frozen Lawa Cake was just mush without a liquid center, ridiculous for €8.50. Cafe Del Sol Gelsenkirchen was top-notch, everything fresh.

Super friendly staff, generous and delicious portions, not our last visit, we will be back

The food is always delicious. I always eat the Del Sol schnitzel, and I love it. I also think it's great that the portion sizes have increased a bit, reflecting the somewhat high price. That way, you always go home full and happy. The only really annoying thing sometimes is that everything takes a little while there. But it's a huge restaurant.

A really nice café with a great atmosphere. The drinks and menu look good. The matcha ice cream is delicious. Nice, large parking lot that's good for more than just parking.

Weekday mornings - well attended, but still quiet.

The food is always delicious, and the staff is friendly and helpful. I enjoy having Christmas dinner there with my friends.

Yes, very cozy, perfect for small groups and families. Especially the two swings 😉.

Basically, like any other Cafe del Sol, the dishes don't taste any better or worse than in other branches. What I did notice, however, is that the service here is much friendlier and more frequent than in other branches ;-) It may have depended on the day, but it wasn't as loud as in others.

Yes, delicious coffee, staff not pushy, you can sit nicely

Very tasty food and friendly service

Great for outdoor seating, with something for every taste. The service staff are all very friendly and attentive.

seating was comfortable and toilets were clean

I went there again after a long time and ordered a Schnitzel del Sol. I was a bit shocked that it already costs €18.90!! And for what exactly? For two mini schnitzels with a high fat content, rice, and ready-made sauce. The mini salad that came with it contained DRY lettuce leaves with at most two drops of dressing! After complaining, I got a new one right away, but I still find this really embarrassing for the place. You could also call it 'Cafe del Rip-off.' That was the last time for me. And the owner's response, 'The prices are based on the incredibly good quality of the food,' can't be right, given how greasy the mini schnitzels were.' A disgrace

Absolutely terrible service. Despite being at a low occupancy, the staff was overwhelmed and the food was cold and rather poor. For the price, you'd expect much more!

The breakfast buffet is fantastic, and the regular breakfast is also very plentiful. The value for money is excellent. The staff is very friendly and very accommodating in fulfilling our special request! Thank you for the to-go box! We also really like the ambiance. We'd love to come back!

Nice ambiance, interesting from morning to night. Great breakfast buffet on Saturdays. Prices are a bit high. Friendly service

The service was "acceptable." The employees seemed very overwhelmed. I ordered an iced coffee "with two scoops of vanilla ice cream." The iced coffee didn't have two scoops of vanilla ice cream in it; instead, there were shards of glass in the glass.

Delicious food, friendly service, nice atmosphere

Such a delicious breakfast, with an incredibly large selection. And even though it was very busy, the lovely waitress was there for everyone. We'll definitely be back.

We came here for breakfast and had a real vacation feeling ☀️ The buffet has a huge selection, and everything was delicious and fresh. I personally recommend ordering a homemade iced tea with it.

Food is okay, the ambience is very nice!

I was truly impressed. I'd especially like to highlight the service staff! They were very friendly and attentive. The food was also highly recommended; fresh ingredients and truly delicious, all at an absolutely affordable price. I'll definitely be back!

I had breakfast there on Sunday. The buffet was extensive. Only the scrambled eggs were a bit cold. The service was exceptionally good. They asked several times if I wanted more drinks. I thought that was great. The farewell was also very warm. It's a pleasure to come here and welcome as a guest.

Great atmosphere, nice staff, sometimes a bit loud but the staff can't help it. The food was always to our satisfaction and especially the house bread was very tasty. I also have to praise the patience and discretion of the waiters there. We sat there a little longer than usual and one table away was a couple who had booked a schnitzel vacation. After round X, the couple said yes, one more round. The waitress brought everything and when she turned around and left, the couple actually unpacked tupperware containers and filled them. The waitress noticed it very quickly and went over to the couple and spoke to the couple very, very quietly. We couldn't understand anything except that this wasn't allowed. I think it's very good that they kept it so discreet. However, the couple didn't care and just stayed put. Personally, it would have been very uncomfortable for me.

We were there at 11 a.m. and of course there were a lot of free seats. Atmosphere is really nice. We felt comfortable.

We were there for breakfast today. The service was very friendly. They both had an eggdrop sandwich and were very impressed. It's incredibly delicious. We felt comfortable. This is how you like to start your day! Thanks for that!

Always very fast and reliable. I like the schnitzel del sol best

Good service. The food was good as usual. Great parking options on site

As always, just too loud. It was a schnitzel vacation, but I was still looked at like a leper when I wanted another one. Children's price not marked and far too expensive.

Attentive, very friendly service. The café au lait was good Thank you

Friendly staff, delicious food, reasonable prices

Super nice staff, delicious food and very cozy. It wasn't the last time here. Clear everything up😉

There are street food shops around the corner that have better quality. Drinks are okay, but there are nicer ways to get gastrointestinal illnesses. For these prices the quality is very poor. It used to be better. Pinsa came relatively cold, chicken was soggy, the dough was burnt and dry. Only a handful of guests were present. The chilli cheeseburger had neither chilli nor cheese. It costs just under 50 euros. Too bad.

I ordered the Thai bowl while eating, I thought 14.50 was a bit too much for the size, 12.90€ would also do the trick, then when I paid the bowl cost 19.40€ because I still had 5 small pieces of chicken with me 😅😅! The price is clearly too high!

Disaster, 1 hour wait for food even though there was hardly anyone there!!! Impossible !! When paying, we were treated unkindly and... yes, sorry, but we've done it now.!!

I visited Café del Sol spontaneously during a business trip and had dinner alone on the outdoor terrace. The ambience is, as usual, typical of Café del Sol – cozy and inviting. After a short time I was greeted warmly by the waitress and was able to order my drink and food straight away. The drink arrived quickly and my dish was served about 10-15 minutes later. It was beautifully presented and tasted convincing - in keeping with the style of the house. All in all, a pleasant and successful visit.

First of all, we had very nice service, the service was generally very good, the food also looked very good and tasted quite good. Unfortunately, I experienced nausea and stomach problems some time after eating, which signaled to me that the food was not of particularly high quality. Unfortunately I won't be able to eat there anymore, so I only give it 1 star

Very friendly service. You felt comfortable.

Recommended I love Café del sol

Yes, recommended super breakfast on Saturday morning.

😋Delicious food, very good and friendly service.

Schnitzel vacation. Selection. Turkey, pork or vegetarian. First portion of schnitzel is large, very tasty and a lot, if there was a 2 portion, it is significantly smaller and the sauce doesn't make it so tasty. Service was great, always friendly and quick. Reservation is required if you want to eat later, it got full after 6 p.m.

Food is great, the acoustics are a disaster.

Everything was great, except for the fact that they didn't tell me that things are different now with the Amore Hearts. You have to show your phone with the app before paying. You can no longer scan the receipt yourself at home. Very annoying, since I had a receipt for over 50 euros yesterday. Amore Hearts given away!

The restaurant is a visual highlight, but unfortunately very loud when there are a lot of people there. The food is ok, the crumbliest croissants of my life, butter and jam are carelessly placed on the plate in plastic pots. The service is really great, you regularly seek contact with the customer without being intrusive!

Went there spontaneously on a Monday evening. There was a table for us and the service was extremely friendly. Unfortunately, like in every Café del Sol branch, the acoustics are extremely, very loud. Maybe acoustic panels on the ceiling could fix that? You really have to yell at each other. For food there was salad and sweet potato fries with hummus. Very, very tasty. However, pomegranate seeds were also advertised. I found about 5 frozen pomegranate seeds on top. Still, always nice here. :)

The food tasted very good and there was a pleasant atmosphere.

Were here again today for breakfast after a long time. Unfortunately not recommended. Food was quite okay. However, we (3 people) had to wait half an hour for our breakfast. Even reordering a cocoa took almost 15 minutes. Therefore, our visit was unfortunately not very satisfactory. Too bad

It was ok, food was delicious, will go there more often.

I probably don't have to write about the ambience of a Café del Sol, but what I would definitely like to emphasize is the experience we have had several times with the service. All the waiters were courteous, friendly and took great care of the guests.

Visited you today for a schnitzel holiday! Very nice and attentive staff, very good value for money - the schnitzels and side dishes were very tasty and filling! We'd love to come back

The food at del Sol is solid and doesn't disappoint. Unfortunately, the Wild Chicken Burger and the Schnitzel Pinsa were taken off the menu. Very unfortunate. The service is always very friendly. The background noise is always very loud, but that doesn't stop since the del Sol offers a lot of seats.

Of course I can do that when everything is occupied...it's very loud...but it's like that everywhere...otherwise it's very comfortable there...on the benches and armchairs, the chairs with the backs are not so good...because I'm a bit more stable, they do hurt on the sides

Food was very tasty and service was very friendly.

Great atmosphere and friendly service, I highly recommend it

When I was there there was very little going on. I liked it very much.

You should reserve in advance if there are more than 2 people as it is always full. Otherwise everything was perfect. Sometimes there are a little longer waiting times for food.

Two people were there the day before yesterday! The menu was ok... I read César Salad Jo 10.90. My friend asked the waitress if we would like this salad (pictured). The waitress says yes to our César salad. And ordered! I ordered a small amount of water and my girlfriend ordered a spritzer. Wanted to pay separately. Then the new waiter tells me 19.80 Wow... how much does the water cost 8 euros or what? Nope... he answered very cheekily... that's the César salad and the chicken comes extra! What a quarter of an iceberg with some cheese costs 10.90 He cheekily said “clear”. I don't care what you think!! Green boy with eggshells behind his ears. Outrageous for a bit of iceberg and a bit of cheese, when I say a bit then it was a bit over 10 euros This is not my first César. But green salad and some cheese is not César. (According to the waitress, the salad in the picture was a César. It was a complete impudence to charge 5 euros for the 4 pieces of meat Never, ever again.... I'll go to the restaurant for that money. And the waiter was cheeky!!! That was my last visit! Can fool others

Tonight was really nice in the Café del Sol in Marl. The young woman named Sandy who served us was very, very friendly and cheerful. She often asked if everything was okay at the table and if we were okay. That was so great and we always had a nice exchange. We had already told her that we thought it was great and would write a good review. We would have loved to hug each other. The food was good too... Thanks for the great evening. I come from Buer and will definitely go back to Marl.

I am very satisfied, I was there with my family, it is cozy and nicely decorated. Employees are very nice and accommodating.

Food tasted good. Staff very nice

Everything is very cool! The atmosphere is great! The food is great!

Music way too loud. It was way too loud and you could barely understand each other.

We had brunch today with 12 people. I would particularly like to highlight the extremely attentive, friendly and approachable service provided by Maria and Luis. We felt very comfortable and would love to come back!

Very comfortable, you can have a good conversation and it's not too loud. The staff especially Luis is very attentive and friendly. We really liked it and would come back again and again.

Their service is really bad, they don't have a friendly face, it's like they're trying to force each other, but I can't speak for all of them, of course, but their service is bad.

You have to go. Worth it, good price-performance ratio.
