Café & Restaurant Orchidee Am Handweiser in Herten

The cakes really taste very good.

Super friendly staff and a very extensive menu. Invites you to linger after a nice walk across the heap. Protected outdoor area and very attractive restaurant in several areas.

On June 25th I went on a long bike ride from A to B to pick something up on the way back and passed the orchid and despite the closed company I was able to sit outside and have a small healthy meal which was also necessary to get further where I wanted to go and also to have a nice meal To spend the afternoon that day.

It is beautifully located to go for a walk or stop off. The food is great.

We went there with 3 people and everyone ate very tasty 😋. The service was good 👍. We liked it a lot and will definitely come back again.

Nice eatery just off the Autobahn. Delicious food, extremely friendly service!

We really enjoyed being here. The cake was very very tasty. Nice service, lots of parking spaces, disabled toilets. Consumption indoors or outdoors.

Very nice, friendly and delicious! Everything prepared and served with love! A clear recommendation. Thank you for a wonderful birthday.

The cakes were very tasty and high quality. The café is a good place to take a walk to Hohewardhalde. Due to the proximity to the main road, it is unfortunately too loud for me on the terrace.

All I can say is: WOW! I didn't eat on site, but I took slices of cake with me. The cakes are quite expensive so I expect the taste to match and I wasn't disappointed. The cakes taste really excellent. As I found out, they are homemade and I have to say, yes, they taste like classic homemade cakes: good, fluffy bases and buttery, melty (but not solid) cake mixture in between. I hope that it stays that way and that the quality is not optimized away! The ambience is great! There is nothing wrong with the service.

I really liked it there. The cake is homemade and very tasty. I can highly recommend the café

The breakfast was very good and originally prepared, the staff was very friendly and attentive! The soup was very tasty, the cake was homemade but too dry for me personally, the staff was again very friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately the toilet was very cramped and down 2 flights of stairs!!!

Very nice restaurant for lunch and coffee. Cheers to mother! She makes the most amazing cakes! Attention hip gold danger 😀

Food top. But otherwise unfortunately not recommended. Service is more than unfriendly and sometimes even aggressive, especially towards young people. Only something for the older audience.

Rude owner who was insulting and disrespectful to customers.

After reading the owner's reaction, I have to give it 1 star. As already described, the staff is too unfriendly. Unfortunately the wait is too long for the food... The place looks ok but that's it. And now to the owner “Naim” what do I know: Accepting criticism and appreciating it is one thing, but I won't tolerate calling your customers "ridiculous" and "annoying." I can tell from your tone that you are not German by birth and if you are, the way you talk is more than embarrassing. I think you'll go broke in 2024. P.S. I will also respond to your reaction and edit my review.

Great value for money, homemade cakes very cozy

Discovered on the way back. Very nice atmosphere, friendly, attentive staff. Both dishes chosen were excellent.

Nice little bistro with delicious, generous dishes and the best breakfast. The service is great

The cake was very tasty and we would buy it again, although we found the price too high. I think it's bad that card payments aren't possible, it's no longer up to date.

Very nice location, modern atmosphere and the staff (at least the waiters) were very friendly. Only card payment or PayPal is possible here. Unfortunately, the prices are significantly too high. Even if the cakes are homemade, they are simply too expensive...

Very nice, very friendly, will come back soon,

Great breakfast, quiet atmosphere and very nice service. We'll be back.

Always nice to be a guest there! Well-kept ambience and hospitable hospitality!

Very nice, the food was great. Cozy atmosphere.

A solid 5 out of 5 stars from me/us in practically all categories! I was there today (Easter Sunday) from Bochum with my mother after a walk at Lake Ewald in Herten and it was a complete success. The building is very nice with outside dining, candles on the tables inside and everyone is really friendly. :) That's ideally how you imagine it. The service was also very fast and as soon as we walked in we were immediately greeted in a friendly manner at the door and, even without a reservation, were directed to a specific table by the window, which was very nice (and actually reserved). The cake was well above average, very tasty and, as I later found out, made by the mother herself (which you could tell). The coffee (crema) in the large cup was also delicious. We were served by a lovely young lady who, like her colleagues (or possibly brothers and partners), was extremely friendly and sweet. One of the gentlemen immediately offered my (now elderly) mother the "disabled" toilet, which was accessible on the ground floor, along with a key, which I also found very nice. Otherwise it would have been difficult for her to get down the stairs (only up a few steps) to the basement. The price of €7.50 per person for a large piece of (homemade) cake/tart including a large cup of crema is absolutely reasonable in this day and age. The cake was even presented like a dessert in a restaurant (fruit syrup decoration plus whole fruit on the plate! In my case raspberries), which particularly surprised and delighted me. I therefore also promised that, contrary to my usual habit, I would write a review on the Internet again in this case because I think that special things should be praised and highlighted. People tend to complain excessively online, often in completely unfounded cases, and I don't take part in that. So if you're in the Ewald Lake area and are looking for a nice café afterwards, you've come to the right place. :) Therefore, as always, when I particularly liked a restaurant, today I would like to give you (as always positive) feedback and once again a huge thank you to the extremely nice young lady. :-) About the equipment: Child-friendliness: High chair available in the stairwell (just ask if needed, I guess). Barrier-free: Accessible at ground level, toilet also available outside at ground level if required (ask for key from staff). Parking: There is a larger parking lot in front of the building and 3 parking spaces (near the entrance) are reserved directly for guests. When we arrived they were all free and when we left they were all occupied. I also saw a bus stop in front of the property (I think it's "Herner Straße", which runs in front of it). So in short: If you don't feel comfortable there, it's your own fault. ;-)

Yesterday we had breakfast there for the first time but certainly not the last time, hats off, lots of choice on the breakfast menu. The price-performance ratio is really great for what you get. Sit down and feel good - that's how the day starts well Next time we get a chance we'll try the rest of the menu, it also looked very promising. And you could see the super great cakes 🎂 in a glass cabinet when I went to the toilet, it's just a shame that I was so full from the extensive breakfast. So I'll try the 🎂 again. Thank you very much for a really nice stay :-)

Nice cafe, delicious cake. Staff friendly, could be bigger, very busy. Speaks for itself 👍🏼

The cappuccino was generous and the cake was a decent size. We are of the opinion that the cakes were homemade or from a pastry chef. No TK.

We recommend! We had breakfast there and were pleasantly surprised. We were greeted warmly and immediately felt at home in the great atmosphere. I also have to mention the child-friendliness again. There are several choices on the breakfast menu. There was something for everyone, fresh, crispy and delicious. The price-performance ratio is also good. We would love to have breakfast here again. The lunch menu also included delicious dishes such as steaks etc. But also cakes for coffee time. This definitely needs to be tested!

The staff are very friendly and the salad we ordered was excellent.

I have breakfast there with 10-14 women every 4 weeks. Always very tasty. The owner serves himself. Very nice, helpful and accommodating. Always my pleasure.

The dishes were quite expensive for the portion, which means the price-performance ratio wasn't quite right, but I was very satisfied with all the other things. Although you can't pay with a card, you can pay quickly and easily with Paypal, something I've never experienced in any restaurant before.

Very nice atmosphere, the staff are very friendly and accommodating, you can also take things with you, for example cakes, everything is just very nice

Very nice restaurant. family run restaurant, Very very friendly, highly recommended. reservations recommended

Went there for the first time today for breakfast with friends. Everything was very tasty and the service was friendly. Would love to come back.

Very nice modern atmosphere. Very friendly staff.

Nice little restaurant at the foot of the Hoheward dump. . Small but nice card. . Good selection of cakes. . Nice, competent service. . The food served was nicely prepared and tasty. . Recommended!

A great place. Whether for breakfast, coffee and cake or a little something to eat. I would love to give it 10 stars. I hope you stay with us for a very long time, because being in the café is like visiting your best friends. It goes without saying that the cakes are a dream. Keep it up.

Schöne Einrichtung, sehr sauber, freundliche Bedienung., leckeren Kuchen und Mittagstisch - was will man mehr ?!!

Sehr schönes Lokal. Essen war gut und das Personal sehr freundlich. Wir kamen mit einer größeren Gruppe und das Zusammenstellen der Tische war kein Problem

Tolle Ambiente. Toller Service. Sehr leckere Kuchen. Klare Empfehlung.

Sehr gutes Essen,es hat uns allen geschmeckt, (Bei verschiedenen Gerichten) .Auch der Kuchen war super lecker 👍

Zum ersten Mal hier, aber mit Sicherheit nicht zum letzten Mal.Sehr sehr lecker 😋, gemütlich, Bedienung aufmerksam. Spazieren gehen 🚶‍♂️ 🚶‍♀️ und hier einkehren ein absolutes Muss 😀

Total schönes Café, super gelegen nach einem Spaziergang auf der Halde. Das Essen war gut, der Service super und beim nächsten Mal muss ich die Torte probieren 😃.

Mein erster Besuch mit Familie zu einem sehr leckeren Frühstück. Allen hat es sehr gut gefallen und werden weitere Besuche planen. Besten Dank für nette und freundliche Begegnung.

Sind mit dem Rad dort eingekehrt. Die Preise fanden wir teilweise sehr hoch...bzw überteuert. Mein Salat mit Rindfleisch war zwar lecker...aber das Dressing war so wenig, dass ich der Annahme war, es wurde vergessen. Als ich dies ansprach, bot mir der Kellner netterweise an, noch Dressing nachzubringen. Auch diese Portion war sehr sparsam. Wenn man die Preise betrachtet, finde ich persönlich zwei Dressings sehr dürftig ( Balsamico und Joghurt). Hätte mir da so etwas wie Honig-Senf...etc gewünscht. Personal wirkte etwas überfordert ( mein Dressing wurde dann doch vergessen und der Tisch wurde auf meine Bitte erst abgewischt )...es war aber auch wirklich sehr voll. Fazit: Essen lecker, nur teilweise überteuert, Personal sehr freundlich...Ambiente ganz schön.

Am Fuße der Halde ein einladendes gute Café

Super leckerer Kuchen, tolle, schnelle und freundliche Bedienung

Durch Zufall gefunden, hatten richtig schön hier und Lecker top

Freundliche Bedienung und leckres Essen zu günstigen Preisen

Wir sind selten hier, machen aber immer wieder die tolle Erfahrung, dass Freundlichkeit, Ambiente und Qualität nicht nachlassen! Daher 5 Sterne!

Für die kleine Pause beim Radfahren genial

Echt schön und lecker anschließend bei einem Halden Spaziergang die Pfunde verlieren

heerlijk tentje wel 10 min. van de snelweg af. Maar zoveel beter als een raststatte. Goed schaduwrijk terras, gevarieerde kaart. Mooie taarten gezien maar helaas niet geproeft, wij waren er voor de lunch. Ruime parkeerplaatsen.

Ein sehr angenehmer Tag mit angemessenem Ambiente und sehr freundlicher Bedienung.

Sehr freundlich und schönes Ambiente

Sehr angenehmes Ambiente und leckeres Frühstück 👌

Immer für ein spontanes Frühstück gut! 😀

Waren zum Frühstück hier. Alles Top. Service und Qualität gut.

Immer gutes Essen und ein super Service

Das Restaurant - Orchidee - ist ein schöner Rückzugsort. Die 20 Minuten Fahrt lohnen sich immer wieder. Das Essen ist einfach nur Lecker! Das Ambiente ist gemütlich und erholsam. Die netten Mitarbeiter und die Inhaber runden den Besuch ab. Einfach erholsam! 🥰 Mein kleiner schwärmt nur von den Penne Medititeran! Ich empfehle Euch den leckeren Spargel…. 😋 Wir sehen uns wieder! 😊

Waren heute Morgen spontan da nach einem Ausflug auf der halde der Kaffee und vor allem auch der Kakao sowie die frische Schwarzwälder Torte der ich nicht wiederstehen konnte waren sehr lecker und zu empfehlen wir werden devenitiv wieder kommen und das Personal war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend

Nach einem Spaziergang an der Halde ein MUSS! Getränke und das Essen wurden schnell zum Tisch gebracht. Das Steak war auf dem Punkt gebraten! Auch der Deutsche Spargel war perfekt. Die Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich und auch hilfsbereit meiner Oma gegenüber! Ein Rollstuhl war für alle kein Problem. Auch für die Kinder gab es beim rausgehen Schokolade. Wir sehen uns wieder! Danke für den schönen Sonntag. Ach und der selbstgemachte Kuchen… 😋

Toller frischer Kuchen und Kaffee ☕️ der schmeckt

Tolles Ambiente was man von draußen nicht vermutet. Top Geheimtipp,lecker Frühstück. Angemessene Preise .

Ich war am Wochenende das erst mal im Cafe zum Frühstück. Auf jeden Fall werde ich wieder kommen,dann aber zum Mittagessen. Deshalb gebe ich jetzt nur 4Sterne.
