Cafe Hegel in Stuttgart

Very friendly and attentive staff, which makes the visit particularly pleasant. The coffee was excellent – ​​I’d love to come back!

Very tasty bagels, perfect for a late breakfast!

The large cappuccino was extremely tasty, but also the most expensive one I have ever drunk. The piece of cake that I chose from the display case was cheekily cut in half - I was so perplexed that I accepted half the piece of cake and paid for it in full.

The best breakfast in the city center... pleasant environment.. and very good service.. well done everyone ❤️ Das beste Frühstück im Stadtzentrum... danke Umgebung... und sehr guter Service... herzlichen Glückwunsch an alle ❤️

My friend and I were looking for a nice coffee and brunch place and reserved this place online as it usual runs out and pretty packed always when we walked past it. The experience in our opinion was really good. The brunch, we also got excited and even got the cake and even that turned out be nice. The Greek omelette was perfect with right salad and the feta with the eggs was perfect. A wonderful cafe with a very good vibe :)

The food was ok, latte machiatto was very good. We were there on a Sunday and had to wait far too long. I have to praise the staff, they did their best, but more staff are needed.

Terrible experience. The maître d was so rude - wasn’t warm, didn’t smile at anyone, looked like she didn’t want to be there. The waitstaff weren’t particularly great, they mixed our drinks up, food was cold and I found a hair in my breakfast! Avoid.

The cast is over the top. 30 minutes waiting time, hair in the salad... One star is only for the friendly service.

Very big portions and tasty food. But it was hard to cut the bagel. Nice coffee.

Cafe Hegel is a nice place in the centre of Stuttgart, which offers a big variety of breakfast, sweats, coffee, and drinks. We had a delicious greek omelette and avocado baguel with tea and coffee and for dessert pancakes with fruits and chocolate! In the beginning, we sat outside, as the shop was full, but soon the waitress offered us a table inside, top service! Thanks a lot, and see you again 😊

Update: since the café has lodged a complaint against my 3 star review on Google - and I don't want to know how many 1-3 star reviews have been deleted by the owner: here's your one star, you're welcome. Pros: - Basically nice location and good location - Coffee tastes good Cons: - Very tight seating - The (cheese cream) cake definitely doesn't taste homemade and generally not really good and is relatively expensive - We were ignored for a relatively long time until we were able to order Neutral: - Hugo is okay but there are better ones

Pistachio croissant has zero taste of pistachios. Very artificial.

Love this place! Amazingly good food, awesome staff, crowded with guests, like always packed - which can only tell you one thing: the hype is worth it! We randomly found it one weekend, and it was such a gem, since then have been going regularly! It‘s a great place to enjoy a Saturday or Sunday morning for coffee, breakfast or brunch 😊!

One of the best coffees I have ever had in my life. Friendly and fast service.

It was a little too crowded 😃, we were able to sit at the window bar side, the food was quite delicious. If you are on a diet, the abundance of other varieties may upset you 😃. Presentations and food were beautiful. Diet options could perhaps be increased a bit.

Anna was unable to resolve the payment issue. Annoys the customer, repeats the same information ten times. This will only make the situation worse. Brings the customer to tears. Not flexible. The worst service I have ever experienced. Terrible, I will never visit this cafe again as long as she works there. Although another employee (brunette) solved the problem in a minute, very pleasant. The food is delicious, and unfortunately I particularly enjoyed the desserts here.

Positive and negative reviews! First of all, on the positive side: the quality of the food is absolutely top! Delicious ! The selection is also very good and the staff is impeccable. Negative: We were there for breakfast on Sunday January 26th, 2025. We reserved a table and also asked by phone whether there was a time limit for the duration of the stay. This was denied on the phone and we were assured that we could stay as long as we wanted. However, on site it was said that a maximum of 1.5 hours would be possible. Annoying if you travel specifically to Stuttgart. Please clear rules here!! Unfortunately, the service person who led us to the place didn't understand our request because she probably didn't speak German 100%, which led to a discussion. A little tip: if you don't understand something because of the language, get someone to help you and don't put your own ego in the foreground. The service then changed and everything was fine.

The mascarpone chocolate cherry cheesecake is good

Had a great Time with my friends. Especially since the service wasn’t asking passiv aggressively if we want to order anything else, because we hadn’t ordered anything for the past half an hour.

I can highly recommend Cafe Hegel for breakfast. The portions are very, very large, beautifully prepared and everything tasted very good. I would like to thank the nice service person (gentleman from Greece, unfortunately I don't know his name) again. We felt very comfortable and welcome. We would come to Cafe Hegel on every trip to Stuttgart.

Great place to go for brunch, the food was good. Staff was friendly. The tables are a bit small but they offered to put together two tables for us! Overall reminded me of Viennese cafés.

Very tasty cakes and coffees. Gladly again.

The place is really great! Everything is wonderful, the atmosphere is pleasant, and the breakfasts are incredibly delicious. The service is friendly and attentive. I highly recommend it to everyone!

Service listless and unable to communicate that there is still a nice breakfast at 1:30 p.m. She pointed to 2 loveless, dry paninis and said that was all there was. Never again!

Beautiful cafe. Great ambience, very friendly staff and great breakfast. Price-performance is absolutely right. Absolute recommendation.

It's a very popular place, so it's quite crowded and difficult to get a spot on weekends without a reservation. Unfortunately, the food is nothing special for the price and the staff sometimes seem overwhelmed by the number of guests.

Yummy. Unfortunately a bit narrow and a bit uncomfortable when there is a lot of traffic. When I made a careless movement, I immediately threw something off the (very small) table. There isn't that much space for all the plates and bowls that come there. If it's not rush hour, then it's probably not that dramatic.

Very good cafe with brunch until 3 p.m. A little full but still pleasant in terms of volume. The selection of food is bombastic and the quality of drinks and food is very good. I can only recommend it!

Good pastry shop! Gladly again !

Good place for brunch. Lots of choice.

If you're looking for a cafe that closes its kitchen for pancakes with atomic clock precision, look no further. We wanted to order pancakes today at 3:02 p.m. - unfortunately it was pointless because they are only available until 3:00 p.m.! When we asked whether an exception could be made for two minutes, we only received a regretful “I can’t do anything about that.” The pancakes may be good – provided you can manage it in time with Swiss precision…

If you are tourist i strongly recommend to not come here! They just put us on the corner in cold wheather (they already had free seats). We just ordered 2 simple food for breakfast we have waited more than 1 hour and they bring nothing. And zero attention from waitresses. Most probably they have issues with tourists i really don't understand their behaviour. We have visited many places and we had 0 issue like this. So please take care and make double check if you want to come here!

We waited nearly 1 hour and they didn't succeed to serve one easy thing. Completely mass.

Hearty recommendation!!! Unfortunately there are not as many stars as I would like to give the restaurant 10/10⭐️. I don't know of any café that is anywhere near as good as the Hegel Café. The staff is incredibly nice and the food is unique. I think the pictures of the food speak for themselves. As soon as you walk in you are greeted by great treats. I would come here again and again.

Really nice place. Even at the beginning I was told that everything has been booked and I have to seat at the bar but than Jayan found the solution and gave me nice table. The coffee was good which is rear for Germany. The food was delicious- Greek omelette and croissant- perfect choice. I liked the place and atmosphere, really cute breakfast place.

Nice staff, good food, nice atmosphere.

The cafe is very nice (reminiscent of Vienna/Paris), but the service was a bit slow and there were no more pancakes at 12 p.m., although according to the menu they are available until 3 p.m. We then had the New York Bagel. Personally, the portion was a bit too big for me, but it tasted okay.

The best cappuccino in a long time, delicious rolls and a feel-good atmosphere with lounge music, including very friendly service. Everything was great and a clear recommendation 😊

The place truly doesn’t deserve its 4.6 rating. They make good coffees and are polite. Maybe cakes are good, but I didn’t try. But: 1) they’re shortstaffed. One lady reasonably struggles to wait all the tables. Waiting times to be served are ridiculous 2) they’ve served eggs florentine with a hollandaise that didn’t thicken. The sauce is really make or break of the dish, and it is obvious for anyone that if it didn’t thicken - well, you throw it away and make new. What Cafe Hegel did, they poured mix of yolk and butter over eggs and bread and served. When pointed out, they didn’t argue, I paid for drinks and left. Offering to take drinks on the house as a way to apologize could be nice, but they didn’t. Sad I had to wait for so long to be served improperly prepared breakfast. So tl;dr: might be okay for coffees, but avoid if looking for a breakfast place.

They make you sign in to Gmail and post just to share internet!?

You need to make a reservation in advance, it is a restaurant with a nice atmosphere, the prices are moderate, we ordered scrambled eggs and Greek style scrambled eggs for breakfast, the eggs were good, the sauces on the vegetables next to them were sweet and different in our opinion. Their bread was good, we as a family were satisfied.

I met up with an old friend there who I hadn't seen for a long time. This meeting was even nicer because not only our conversation but also the food in the restaurant was excellent. Particularly nice with a glass of rosé from Kessler. Everything was great 👍

Good breakfast, some options for vegetarians too. Central, service ok, could be faster and more effective. Nice atmosphere right next to Hegel's birthplace. This is also a museum worth seeing if you like philosophy, so why not start with a philosopher's breakfast.

modern and comfortable cafeteria, with a pleasant atmosphere

The food was ok overall but it’s just cheeses and ham , nothing was cooked expect of egg which was overcooked. Portion was generous and good selection of cheese and ham though. However , service was not welcoming at all.

First impressions can be deceiving. Maybe it's the time, but the sandwich wasn't really as fresh as I expect it to be at this level. The cappuccino was a little more than lukewarm. Conclusion: I don't have to come here again. They certainly won't miss the good things about me.

Ate crispy chicken rolls... hunger got the better of you... cappuccino was lukewarm and tasted okay Service was very nice. Was the first and last times here. To be honest, how the 4.5 stars came together is a mystery to me. Conclusion 21, 80 was way too expensive

First things first: cake was fine. But service was very short. You had to ask if you could order something. Coffee came after 15 minutes, cake only another 10 minutes later. Seats were only half full, so not much going on. Priced at a very high level. Some tables were not cleared or were still dirty. Not inviting. So there are much better cafes in a comparable location. It's a shame actually.

Had delicious cake and chai latte. Food-wise it was okay, so-so. On the weekend, however, it was very crowded and a bit chaotic, with hardly any free seats available. Service was impeccable. At that time, it was temporarily not possible to pay by card at the counter to take away the cakes/tarts.

Very bad and unfriendly service I waited 20 minutes to place an order.

We were very disappointed with the ambience! I had reserved and asked for a nice table because it was my husband's birthday that day and we always choose a nice location for breakfast every year. The distance between all tables is approximately one D4 side! Therefore private entertainment is not possible. We were also unlucky that the couple next to us was very loud! We heard every syllable of their conversation. Half of the tables would definitely have to be removed, then it would be great to have breakfast there. The food was okay with some sand in my side salad that I couldn't eat. For €50 for a breakfast for two, we expect more. The service was very nice.

The food is good😍, the drinks are OK😅

best pastrami bagel i‘ve had in my whole life, the pickles just hit the spot!! 6 stars there 🤩 if youre looking for a phenomenal breakfast place look no further you won‘t be disappointed!

Service was a bit overwhelmed. Otherwise everything was delicious and a great atmosphere

It was my first time in this lovely cafe and I had high hopes for it as the reviews were very good. I really like it, but the tables are extremely close together, so you can easily hear the conversations of the people at the tables on the left and right, which isn't so pleasant. In addition, the noise level is also very high. The croissant we ordered was great, but the pumpkin spice latte was just milk with spice syrup, no trace of pumpkin. The waitress who I pointed out had no idea about it and wanted to help, but didn't know what to do with the fact that pumpkin puree belonged here. A no-go for the price, which was a shame.

The staff and service were all incredibly friendly. The food came quickly and was very, very tasty. The price is very fair

Top patte series. Everything fits together. Very good cuisine paired with good service.

Fresh dessert and very good service. Very close to the city center and the Greek consulate in Stuttgart

The shop is beautiful. The food tastes good. Everything takes a little too long and the operation could use some support.

This facility is rightly very popular - but unfortunately the same error can often be observed no room dividers, but far too many tables in the available space. This means that the volume is very high and you can't understand your own words. The ambience suffers greatly as a result.

Went there for breakfast. Our food was incredibly tasty and came quickly. See friendly service and good selection of food. Nice atmosphere inside.

I can only recommend the café and would be happy to come back 😊

Im visiting for work and stumbled upon this cafe while exploring. The food and service were top-notch, and my server Jayan was awesome. The internet was fast, which made it easy to get some work done while there. I’ll definitely be returning!

Super tasty and different breakfast. Great ambience, fresh food

The breakfast bagel was very cold (not defrosted yet?!), otherwise OK. The café is very, very loud and cramped.

I visited this wonderful café today and was immediately impressed! The selection of cakes and patisserie is simply fantastic – every bite is a delight. The service was super friendly and attentive, which made the visit even more pleasant. The ambience is cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxing break. I highly recommend this cafe.

Best cafe in Stuttgart!! Good food, great service and nice atmosphere 🫶...

Good cappuccino, but unfortunately we had to wait a little long for service, which bothered us a little, but the price/performance ratio is okay.

I made a reservation online, we arrived and NO ONE registered us for almost 10 minutes, even though we were standing at the entrance and waiting. There were easily 5-6 women/waitresses there and everyone just walked past (and walked past relaxed, no one was stressed) and you couldn't speak to anyone. It was well filled, yes, but nothing justifies such service and unfriendly behavior. I've really never experienced this anywhere. Unfortunately I can't say anything about the food because the way it was there made me so angry that we left. Never again.

The coffee was burnt and no flavor at all

I went in at 7:10pm but no one looked after me until 7:45pm when I was finally told to leave. The waiter accused me of not greeting him when he entered.

Good coffee and very good bee sting

It was one of the best breakfast and brunch places in Stuttgart. The food is excellent, and the service is also excellent. Interior is nice. Overall, it was a very good place. Recommended. Update New York Bagel is amazing.

Not what I expected. Service was too slow and not very polite. The chocolate cake was not tasty and the “APPLE PIE” was just ok. Positive notes, the atmosphere and the cappuccino.

If you find yourself in the centre of Stuttgart at the Rathaus Ubahn then this cafe is a must. Amazing indoor seating area as well as outdoor seating. For myself as a Canadian living in Stuttgart, sitting outside Cafe Hegel is exactly what the image in my head was of enjoying an outdoor espresso in Europe. I come from Victoria BC on Vancouver Island on the far west coast of Canada. We have a huge coffee culture and the coffee here ticks all the boxes for me. I live in Möhringen and come for the coffee, location and friendly staff.

Panini tasted like cardboard, hardly any tomatoes or pesto and too expensive for that. The courtyard is not a nice place to sit.

Finally a nice, modern German (!) café, which are unfortunately all dying out at the moment due to legal over-regulation. The “Perfect Egg Bagel” was really delicious, as was the cappuccino. Service was friendly, the interior was very attractive and brightly furnished. It's fun to watch people walk by and relax on the bench inside. Only the price was steep. For the bagel 13.80 euros, the large cappuccino 6.30 euros, 50 cents extra for the lactose-free milk. Soon you won't be able to afford to eat out anymore. But it is still important to me to save the few German cafes. The entire city center doesn't have to consist solely of kebab shops.

Unfortunately I didn't quite understand the chips on the bagel. Otherwise everything was great!

Very dirty shop, unfriendly owners

I had the Greek scrambled eggs and a cappuccino. Both tasted very good. In general there is a large selection, including cakes. I think the atmosphere is nice. Service nice. Would love to come back

A perfect start to the day! I had breakfast at the Hegel Bakery this morning – and it was simply fantastic! The selection of fresh rolls, croissants and sweet pastries was huge, and everything tasted delicious. I was particularly impressed by the coffee, which was perfectly prepared. The breakfast was also absolutely reasonable in terms of price – great quality at a fair price! The service was friendly and attentive, you felt really comfortable. If you want to start the day with a really delicious breakfast, this is the right place for you! I'll definitely be back.

Our breakfast was great! pastrami bagel, truffle bagel and omelette are strongly recommended

Very nice service from Kimon today. Great cakes/tarts and good coffee. Pleasant, relaxed atmosphere. Like to come here regularly

Super delicious cake and at reasonable prices. I like going here 😊

It is quite fine place lots of options for sweet and cakes I would say

Today I was there at Hegel and I can only say it is the best of the best. Top service, top food, nice atmosphere and there is something for everyone. We'll definitely be back!!

Location great. The outdoor area could be designed a little more lovingly. Price performance ratio is not right for me. €5.20 for a half-thawed cake is definitely overkill! Service itself was super nice - but despite the lack of visitors, everything was only done upon request.

We had breakfast and were very pleasantly surprised. Large selection and good quality.

Unfortunately, the egg from my Eggs Benedict was cold and no longer liquid.

The waiters made us sit for over half an hour before we were served. Despite repeated requests, they always just said, “Someone will come to you shortly.” In the end we had to wait for over half an hour, even though the café wasn't even full. Later we received the wrong food (and so did three other tables) and when we said that we had ordered something different than what was brought to us, the waiter reacted extremely rudely. The breakfast itself (eggs Benedict and omelette) were cold and didn't taste good at all. And that with the prices!! Especially when a new café/restaurant opens, you should make an effort, especially since there are so many other options for a great breakfast in Stuttgart. There's no way we'll go there a second time!

We had an extensive breakfast at a very good price/performance ratio.

We had a very tasty and extensive breakfast at Cafe Hegel. The espresso was extremely tasty and perfectly extracted. The breakfast plates were high quality and wonderfully prepared. Unfortunately, the service was very stressful this Saturday. We give credit to the employees for being friendly at all times and taking their time despite this. But it was noticeable that one or two more service staff would be necessary. The atmosphere is cozy, modern and clean. If you're looking for a delicious breakfast in Stuttgart, Cafe Hegel is definitely the right place for you. 👍

One of our favorite cafes in the city center. The coffees are very tasty, as are the cakes. We also like their sandwiches. The staff is friendly and pleasant.

Nice shop with a very nice location. The staff is very kind and helpful and the food is very tasty. Very correct choice

The best breakfast in the city center. You should definitely visit it

We waited in vain for 20 minutes for service and had to ask several times to finally get paid. The Freddo Matcha Latte is absolutely not recommended and all warm lattes are only available until 3 p.m., which you will only be told on site. NO RECOMMENDATION...

I visited the place for a dessert & coffee. With baking experience over 10 years, I loved the flan parisien (esp the combination of buttery crust and tender creamy filling). Coffee was pretty good, not the best, but over an average, which is still a pros. The interior was amazing and I liked the layout of the cafe with tables next to the window. Overall, I had a good impression of the place, and staff were friendly. Would love to come again for a cup of coffee and dessert.

Very good spot for brunch! A good selection of very tasty dishes, sweet and salty! The Hegel salad is highly recommended - a great choice if you can't decide between savory and sweet. There is also a large selection of different baked goods as well as cakes and tarts!

A beautiful place to have breakfast, the atmosphere is very cozy and also inviting. Unfortunately I had to deduct a few stars because our order wasn't correct. I ordered a wholemeal bread and was asked again what kind of bread I would eat, to which I answered wholemeal bread and unfortunately I was given a light farmer's bread. After asking if this is the right one and not for another table. So the service person said no and said that was the right thing to do. We also found eggshells in the scrambled eggs, which weren't that appetizing. We'd love to come back because the food was still very tasty.

Very good coffee, very nice location with very good service and very high quality sweets and breakfast
