Cafe Mexx in Hattingen

Food just about within the price/performance ratio. Service could be quicker. Rooms very cramped and really "zero" barrier-free!

The breakfast buffet was sufficient and varied. Too bad the coffee wasn't refillable.

I found the atmosphere to be relatively uncomfortable. Unfortunately, the burger patties were frozen goods and at around €16, they weren't worth the money. The lady at the bar was a bit brisk, but the waiter who brought our food was very relaxed, courteous and helpful.

Ugh, heavy food, so the waitresses don't really use their potential to increase their tips with a smile. Come across as quite cool. But when you start talking to them, they react positively and sympathetically. The first floor is magical with open timber framing. Below appeals more to the young audience, which is not meant in a negative way. I can't confirm the criticism about long waiting times or bad food. Prices attached. Coffee, latte, waffles and cake, delicious. We'll come back and try breakfast. Dear service, don't despair, there are also nice guests, enjoy them. Thank you for existing!

Have been here again for a long time. Especially at this time of year it is very cozy there because of the slightly dimmed lights. The burgers were very tasty!

Delicious food and the location, right next to the old town, creates a pleasant atmosphere

Even one star is too much for this juice shop!! Apart from the fact that I had a hard time eating it and it was returned and I even ended up paying for it, I have never experienced anything so outrageous in my life!!

A truly wonderful place to linger and enjoy the food on offer.

One star was already too many for today's visit. At the table we were allowed to sit at, there were still dishes from the previous person, which were not put away. Even after half an hour the dishes were still there. When someone finally came and we raised our hand to draw attention to ourselves, the waiter looked at us and walked past us! Well, we waited until the table behind us was served. However, the waiter in question did not come to us and continued to ignore us. Because restaurateurs complain so much, the service should be a lot more hospitable. We then changed venues and can only warmly recommend the City Lounge! They know how to deal with guests there and it tastes great!

The food was average, special requests were not realized, the service only came after 15 minutes to take the order, some of the guests left without being served, it's a shame the location is very nice

November 1st, 2024: Went here for breakfast today. We had reserved 3 weeks in advance and wanted to eat with the Kulinaris Card. But then we remembered that this is not valid on public holidays. On October 31st I emailed the cafe saying we weren't coming because we remembered the card wasn't valid. Some restaurants still accept these on a holiday. The answer I received from a Christanas was that the card was accepted and we could come! Today we set off from Dortmund on our bikes in the morning and then we arrive there after more than an hour of travel and the first waiter tells us that the card is not valid and then the next one came from behind and confirmed again that the card was is not valid. Only after a long, somewhat unfriendly back and forth and showing the email traffic were we allowed to eat with the Kulinaris card. While the waiter with the tattoos was nice, the waiter with the black hair cropped close to the side was not friendly. He later put the latte macchiato on the table without saying a word, even though I thanked him. Unfortunately a very bad experience. For breakfast: The mushrooms, waffles, rolls and croissants were delicious. What was bad was that it took 30 minutes for the mushrooms to be refilled. The waffles including cherries were empty 30 minutes after we arrived and were not refilled. It is therefore better to fill up the plates at the beginning of the breakfast buffet. In addition, the prices on the menu online don't seem to be correct. The breakfast buffet there costs 12.50 euros, but was charged 12.90 euros! September 29, 2024: We ate the paprika schnitzel and a Cesar burger. We eat out at different restaurants several times a week and have a good comparison: Ambience: The ambience is better than anywhere else: grade 2+ Waiting time: The waiting time was too long, even though most of the guests left for food. Drinks came immediately: grade 4+ Service: The various waitresses were nice: grade 2 Food: I found my schnitzel to taste above average, but the size was below average! The fries were OK, but a little worse than in other restaurants. The Paprika-Schnitzel is the same as the Zig.....Schnitzel in 90% of all restaurants, but you can't call it that anymore. But here it was a schnitzel with peppers. The burger was OK, but not so good that you would order it again! Overall, we weren't 100% convinced, but we were satisfied. Next time we'll try the waffles, which looked delicious. We'll probably try breakfast too, but we'll probably have to come very early so that everything is still there. From the other reviews you can see that it sometimes takes a little longer until something is refilled.

Unfortunately, the baked goods during breakfast are not fresh from the bakery but rather baked. Unfortunately, during the sweet breakfast, the croissant was dry and boring.

Simply perfect, friendly service and good food

We went to this location during our visit to the old town of Hattingen on October 3rd. Since the Hattinger Autumn Festival was taking place on that day (I didn't know), the whole old town and also this "cafe" were really well attended. Accordingly, our order took a long time, even though the staff was really quick. They can no longer work. The food was delicious, but unfortunately the fries had already cooled down quite a bit, which was a shame because the taste of the fries was really great. The atmosphere is also very cozy and tastefully decorated. There is also the opportunity to take part in the breakfast buffet. This location and the offerings reminded me quite a bit of “Extrablatt”. I would definitely visit this location again.

Hattingen is always worth a visit, and it was also very pleasant in Alex. I had the Lovers Burger and two gin and tonics - we were completely satisfied. The staff was friendly and both drinks and food came to the table quickly.

Unfortunately I can't report much because we left the café after 15 minutes without any service. The three other tables around us were also visibly annoyed because two wanted to pay and the other table hadn't ordered yet either. In general, not a single service person was seen in our area during these 15 minutes. When the waiter went to one table to collect the money, the people at the next table said that they would like to order. The reaction to this was an annoyed employee who pointed out that he was busy at the moment. That was the reason for us to go back and spend our money somewhere else. I understand that there is a lot to do, but in our opinion it is not appropriate to be completely ignored. The selection of food and drinks should be mentioned positively.

friendly and fast service, food was great. gladly again.

We sat briefly in the beer garden and had 2 beers. Sunny spot. Good location.

Cozy, clean and always worth a visit! The staff is very friendly and the coffee is excellent.

Great service, delicious food, always happy!!

Unmöglichk Jägerschnitzel bestellt und bekommen, haben wir einen pressschnitzel mit einer sosse, also keinerlei Pilze, die Pommes. Die waren so hart, dass mein Mann, die nicht essen konnte. Die Rechnung war bombastisch, also für ein jägerschnitzel. Ein kleines schnitzelchen mit halt Kroketten und Pommes. Dazu eine Cola und zwei Bier 48 € ist ja echt wahnsinnig. Der Kellner ist nicht auf unsere Reklamation eingegangen und das finde ich persönlich schon sehr frech. Wenn ich einen jägerschnitzel bestelle, möchte ich ein Schnitzel haben mit Pilze und nicht mit irgendeiner bratensosse. Die Pommes sind zweimal in die friteuse gelandet, daher waren sie ungeniessbar. Vom Preis möchte ich mal gar nicht reden. Es wurde die Mayonnaise mit 1 € berechnet, die wir aber haben stehen lassen, da mein Mann ja die Pommes nicht essen konnte. Also Preis ist nicht nachgelassen worden. Es wurde alles voll berechnet. Also das passiert in einen anderen Lokal glaube ich nicht. Ich weiss es aber nicht, da ich das erste Mal so reingefallen bin. Nie wieder Mexx PS. Komme übrigens aus Hattingen dieses Lokal werde ich in keinster Weise weiterempfehlen

Too long to wait for food, waited an hour

Too long to wait for food, over 1 hour. waited.

We were there today for the breakfast buffet and I unfortunately have to say that it is no longer what it used to be. There were very few rolls and croissants, the rolls were still frozen in the middle. The scrambled eggs were cold. The selection of sausage and cheese was very small. I think the price-performance ratio is no longer right. Very unfortunate

Leider von uns ein ungenügend: Wir haben Cocktails 🍹 bestellt, die diese Bezeichnung nicht verdient haben: Es gab kleine Wassergläser (seit wann gibt es Cocktails in kleinen Wassergläsern?!?!), bis oben mit Eis gefüllt. Der anti-alkoholische Cocktail enthielt extrem viel Zucker, der alkoholische hatte Erdbeerpüree zugesetzt, welches nur aus Körnern bestand. Dazu war der Preis völlig unverhältnismäßig hoch. Wir kommen nicht mehr wieder - aber es gibt genug andere schöne Gastronomie in Hattingen, die sich lohnt!!!

The breakfast buffet was no longer the same as it was about 1 year ago. Replenishing scrambled eggs, rolls, croissants...took too long. Slices of cheese were cut so thin that you could see through them and already looked unappetizing due to the temperatures. And with such small slices of sausage and cheese, you don't have to cut through the slices again. We will definitely visit Café Mexx again, but not for the breakfast buffet.

Were there during the week for the breakfast buffet. (Offered from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.) Unfortunately, the first course was already very looted around 10:15 a.m. The selection was very limited, some things weren't available. Unfortunately, the next course around 11:00 a.m. was no different. When we asked whether it would be refilled, we were told that yes, but that takes time. Sorry, in my opinion you should make sure that it is filled at least in the first 2 hours after the offer starts. At a later date I could understand it, I was really disappointed. If we had been told this beforehand, our selection would have been different. On that day the price-performance ratio was not right. Too bad.

The staff was very kind. The service was generally impeccable, the prices reasonable and the breakfast buffet rich. We also really liked both the interior and exterior of the shop. We highly recommend it to anyone in the town of Hattingen or the wider area.

We had to wait half an hour for our Caesar salads and they were bad and relatively expensive: whole, very tough chicken fillets, strange sticks of dough instead of croutons and Parmesan cheese in three large pieces, which you then had to laboriously cut up yourself, as well as cubes of ham Ready-made packaging that had far too dominant a taste. The bruschetta was good though. The service was friendly.

Food was good and the service was friendly.

Cozy restaurant, friendly service

I have been a guest here about 5 times in the last 4 years. Some time ago I had a delicious salmon burger for lunch that was good value for money. The atmosphere inside is rustic yet modern. You can sit outside in the idyllic old town, which is particularly beautiful in the evenings. In 2020 you could also drink a non-alcoholic cocktail for from 6 euros. It now starts at 7.90 euros and goes up to 9.50 euros. When we recently stopped in at 8:45 p.m. and asked if there were still waffles available as stated on the menu, we answered in the affirmative. So ordered a waffle with ice cream and cherries. The drinks we ordered (latte machiato and spritzer) were there after 5 minutes. The waffle then took another 25 minutes. It was then only lukewarm. Reason for the delay: The waffle iron had to be heated up first. The waitress also responded very late to the request for the bill. On evenings when the Mexx is only moderately busy, I wouldn't come here again. I hope you improve the quality of service a bit and regain traction with non-alcoholic cocktail prices.

Price-performance ratio is absolutely top. My wife and I went there for a buffet on Sunday morning. Simply to recommend. The staff is very friendly

Unfortunately we didn't like the food at all. The pasta cost 18€.. when the plate arrived I thought it was a joke, a small portion of which you couldn't get enough - and the pasta didn't taste good at all, unfortunately there was a lack of everything. It's a shame for the money - I expected much better for the price.

A bit slow even though there weren't many people there. We waited a long time for coffee and drinks. Staff obviously tired. Food ok. Atmosphere ok. Toilets small but clean.

Very nice old town cafe. We were there for breakfast and we really enjoyed it. The breakfast had a good selection and the service was very friendly. Price performance was good 👍

Ate something here on the way through. Everything is very good.

A pleasant place to meet. Quality coffee.

Everything is great there, only the boss is super arrogant and when he opens the door he doesn't think it's necessary to greet the customers.

I've been to Cafe Mexx Hattingen several times. After what we were served yesterday I will never visit the store again. The food was anything but fresh. The carelessly served chicken schnitzel, gratinated with cheese, was probably in the kitchen for a few days. It was hard, chewy, not even really warm (over-baked!!), peaches and sauce from a can... everything together was simply outrageous in terms of taste and appearance. The other dish was very similar - simply made lukewarm and thrown on the table. I say: adios amigos!!!

Good breakfast buffet. You can sit nicely and the staff is friendly.

Nice atmosphere, we were there for the breakfast buffet at around 10 a.m. and unfortunately had to wait 25 minutes for new rolls and scrambled eggs. Free sparkling wine and juice were promised, but the sparkling wine was already empty when we arrived and was also sold after 40 min not refilled. There were also shards on the floor that were only removed after 20 minutes and after several guests had already stepped on them.

Too expensive for very little service, mediocre buffet and overpriced drinks. You even had to pay extra for the milk for the cereal

Nice restaurant, great service, good food

We had brunch there. My stepfather celebrated his proud 87th birthday there and it was a really beautiful morning. The employees were very friendly, attentive and also showed a sense of humor. The breakfast was sufficient and was always refilled. We were all very satisfied and received a very friendly welcome. The price is also great, but there is a delicious selection on offer. Coffee is not included in the price, which I personally don't think is a bad thing at all. But orange juice and I think sparkling wine, if anyone wants something sparkling early in the morning 😅. So we'll be back and my mom will celebrate her birthday there too 🥳

Very friendly staff, delicious food. What more do you want.

Very nice atmosphere. Were there for breakfast. Very good selection of food and the service was also great. The in-house coffee is particularly recommended... Always my pleasure

Very nice excursion destination on the A2 lake in Münster.

Very pleasant and tasty. Especially the coffee

Super friendly staff in a great atmosphere in Hattingen's old town. My food was delicious. Will definitely be back next time you visit Sonnenschein and Hattingen.

Always nice there, delicious food, very friendly service, good coffee. :)))

Super friendly staff and very tasty coffee. The food is always fresh and tastes excellent. We always feel welcome here. Absolute recommendation!!!

The hot cocoa tasted very, very strange, very unpleasant and foreign, chemical. The cream on top was delicious

Can't recommend! Long waiting times, unfriendly staff and food doesn't taste good

Very nice service, delicious food I feel very comfortable here as a guest

Went to the breakfast buffet and everything was great 👍🏼 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Simply great and the staff is super nice ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars from us. We will be back definitely.

Friendliness 0 stars. Waiting time 0 stars. Been there last time!

The sweet brown-haired employee with the dimples is very hard-working and friendly. We felt in great hands We'd love to come back

Super attentive service, great. Food freshly prepared, rolls unfortunately too hard.

It's nice to sit outside in the pedestrian zone.

It was our first time there, we sat outside, the tables were very clean, which made us very happy, even though it was busy. The two young waiters were very friendly and our order came quite quickly. The plates were lovingly prepared. My partner had the Argentinian rump steak and was very happy with his steak. I had the cordon bleu and can't complain, the only thing was maybe a few more mushrooms in the sauce, but that's complaining at a high level. Gladly again.

Disgusting food, bad service (especially the lady with the brown hair and the colleague with the curls should rethink their jobs) Absolutely not recommended!

We would love to give 0 stars but unfortunately this is not possible. To put it bluntly, the shop is a nice snack bar. The food tastes like fat and flavor enhancers and gives you a nice stomach ache afterwards. I can only confirm the many bad reviews and find it quite sad that employees are now hired to give 5 stars in order to keep up appearances. All in all, it's just sad that the many criticisms are not taken to heart and an improvement is made.

Great as always. The service is great, the food is good. It's also great that you can actually watch ALL sports broadcasts here.

Very friendly staff and the service is very nice and you can eat very tasty food there

As always, we felt comfortable there. 👍👍👍

Nice cafe with good food, good value for money. Also highly recommended for breakfast with a buffet

Very nice, cozy cafe with good food, perfect atmosphere and they even show football live

Delicious food. We ordered a Cordón Bleu with fries and a Swiss Schnitzel.

Rooms and seating in the half-timbered house are of course very narrow but comfortable. The prices are very high for that. A normal cup of coffee costs 3.50 euros and is a top price a piece of cake 5.60 euros. This is usury We're never coming back. Haha , The coffee cup is normal size rather smaller. The pieces of cake were also normal size and of good quality medium quality

Good extensive offer. Few staff are looking for good outdoor spaces and football is being shown!

Good service, great food, good cocktails

Very tasty food, nice boss, very nice service.

I went there with a friend for the breakfast buffet. The selection of food was okay and tasty. However, sometimes you had to wait for rolls. I found the waiter a bit inattentive.

We were there yesterday, Sunday, for the Hattinger Spring Festival at around 12:10 p.m. Our drinks came very quickly after placing the order. In addition to two drinks, we ordered a portion of fries for our little offspring. After a good 20 minutes I asked about our order. As I said, it was just a portion of fries for one child. The waiter just said that other guests were there before us and that these orders would only be processed. Our order should come soon. After 35 minutes we finally got a portion of fries for our child for €5.20 I can understand that the food is prepared in a certain order, but you could have added a single portion of fries for a child in between or simply made a little more for the dishes with fries that left the kitchen. While we were waiting, we were sitting outside next to the entrance, an employee who obviously didn't work in the service area appeared and said very negative things about the guests from the previous evening. Likewise, his language was also very inappropriate. There will be no more visits from our side, as family-friendliness is unfortunately not very important.

We wanted to have a little something for lunch and ended up at MEXX. Given the weather today, of course outside on the terrace at the entrance, from where you can watch what's going on 😁 I had ordered a Hawaiian schnitzel (baked), which came in a small pan, croquettes were in a small matching bowl, everything looked very appetizing and was even surpassed by the taste, simply great! Service was very attentive and friendly and not intrusive in any way. The price was moderate and not too high.

✓ Toilets only on the first floor 😳 ✓ No credit card payment possible☹️ ✓ Leftover food can only be taken with you with the app😡 Visit Easter Monday at lunchtime with 6 people Toilets only on the first floor Unfavorable for people with walking difficulties or wheelchair users. Service friendly and accommodating. Food was good but both pasta dishes were drowned in sauce. Less is sometimes more. But what's not possible is that you can't take the food with you. That wasn't on the menu anywhere. The waitress said it at the end. To do this, you have to download an app and then you can rent dishes and then hand them over to participating restaurants using the app. Sorry but that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard and should do. Since we didn't feel like downloading another app and revealing data, we had to have half the plate of pasta thrown away. A no go and extremely unpleasant, especially when you consider how many people on this planet are starving. Because of that (especially) and the outdated toilets, unfortunately only two stars. In addition, it is not possible to pay by credit card, which again completely ignores the customer. Although I was lucky that card payment was accepted at all. You can even pay for your bread with a credit card at the bakery. Something should perhaps be changed here too, as EC payment (Maestro) will no longer be possible in the future as this card service will be discontinued.

We sat in the outside area of ​​the cafe. It was welcoming, not crowded, the chairs weren't uncomfortable, the tables weren't too big or too small, it wasn't too cramped, the service was good. It was quite dark and loud inside. The toilet is on the 1st floor. The café is therefore not barrier-free. There are plus points for plant-based milk alternatives, such as oat milk. I would come back.

We were there for the buffet. Unfortunately there is no mention of buffet. It was completely empty. No rolls, no bread, no croissants. You could guess... G. once lay here urken in the bowl, there must have been tomatoes... Cheese plate almost empty. So it was time to wait. 10 long minutes. After all, there were almost 10 rolls and 8 croissants in the baskets. But the store was pretty full. The service was trying hard, but the impression was that they were pretty listless. At least the Prosecco was very tasty. It's actually a shame, because the place really has potential. Unfortunately we won't be coming back. The competition is too great and the offering is better.

Very cozy cafe and good crowd. Friendly service and small delicacies on the menu.

We were there for the breakfast buffet. The service was unique. Refills were often made. TOP

We were there for the breakfast buffet on Saturday morning and were thrilled by the good selection! There were many lovingly selected little things from savory to sweet so that everyone will find what they are looking for ☺️

The internet says it's open until 1:00 a.m., arrive at 10:45 p.m. on a Friday evening, no more cafe, no more food, no more milkshakes, no more desire to work, then the place closes straight away at 6 p.m

Food was very tasty, service was nice. However, very small portions for the price. We paid just under €40 for 2 drinks and 2 dishes and the portions really weren't much. It's a shame, because otherwise it's very tasty.

We really enjoyed the rich breakfast. The friendly service also contributed to this.

I am at a loss for words... At least the wine and cappuccino were good 👍 Inattentive staff, Impossible food...never been served such tasteless and tasteless food. Whether waffle, strudel, salad,... Before/last year it was much better!

Delicious breakfast buffet, something for everyone.

Nice restaurant/cafe with good food. Very polite staff. Gladly again

Breakfast was delicious, there was only one employee on site, it was around 9:30 a.m. and he did it completely by himself for about an hour, but it was really pretty good.

Baked rolls, no selection of bread, the buffet was only filled slowly, waiting times were quite long here, and the service was also slow. Cost-benefit ratio does not exist. We recommend another location for breakfast.

Ein schönes Restaurant &Cafe war sehr schön hier.

Waren nach langer Zeit mal wieder dort. Personal hat nicht bedient. Erst nach 2x ansprechen & wirkte so als hätte sie keine Lust! Überall liegen Wolldecken? Das hat uns sehr gewundert. Getränk wurde groß gebracht obwohl klein bestellt. Und die Preise sind für das Personal & das Ambiente es nicht mehr Wert. (31.01.24 ca. 19 Uhr) - für den Betreiber als Info ℹ️ Wir kommen nicht mehr…

Buffet war gut, aber eine doch sehr kleine Auswahl. Aber Preisleistung passte

tolles Café bzw. Restaurant mitten in Hattingen. Sehr schön und nett auf 2 Etagen und zudem ein prima Personal

Essen war super und schnell am Tisch, trotz vollem Laden. Gerne wieder!

Service sehr aufmerksam tolle Ambiente haben aber nur Kaffee getrunken

Wir waren leider sehr enttäuscht. Ein sehr netter Laden von innen, aber das Personal ist leider nicht sehr kompetent. Ich hatte ein Haar im Getränk, danach haben wir bei der Bestellung die Falsche Pommes erhalten, sowie einen Salat statt den bestellten Burger bekommen. Der Pulled Pork Burger war extrem klein, vor allem für knapp 14€ erwarte ich, dass kein Scheiblettenkäse auf dem Burger ist. Auch die zu den Pommes extra bestellte Mayo kam nie an. Wir mussten mindestens eine halbe Stunde warten um weitere Getränke bestellen zu können. Alles in allem leider nicht weiterzuempfehlen.

Sehr Schönes Kaffee habe Leider nichts gegessen aber sonst kann ich es nur weiter empfehlen

Sehr schönes Cafe mit schöner Einrichtung und Atmosphäre das Personal ist freundlich und gerade das Frühstück Buffet ist sehr gut aufjedenfall einen Besuch wert
