das Alfreds - Café & Restaurant in Düsseldorf

Very cute cafe. It's a bit frightening to see the disabled toilet that closes automatically, but the service is absolutely top and you feel like you're in good hands as a customer. In any case, it's great that there is also a changing option for parents with babies and small children.

On Sunday we went to this café for the first time following a recommendation. The first impression was very nice and the four of us were able to get a table in the corner. Unfortunately, the service didn't come at first and our order was questioned several times. Apparently the apple cake was sold out, which is why we opted for the chocolate cake, which also came quite quickly. But the coffee was a long time coming and wasn't served until about 20 minutes later. Unfortunately, the chocolate cake tasted a bit sticky and had a sour aftertaste, as if it contained too much baking soda. On the way to the toilet, however, I discovered two whole apple pies in the display and was very sorry that we were denied this delicious pie. The rooms are attractively furnished, but the acoustics are very poor, which makes conversation difficult. Added to this is the still disorganized team of waitresses and baristas. A great idea and a beautiful location - but the processes urgently need optimization.

Very nice restaurant with nice staff. The food selection looked promising. Since we only had a very tasty coffee ☕️ ☕️ all we can say is it also looked very tasty.

Although I had high expectations of this place, my experience was average. The food was decent, but it didn't quite meet my expectations. While the portion sizes were generous, I value quality over quantity. The menu primarily features German traditional food, but there were some international options like coconut curries. I suspect that brunch is their specialty, so I'm willing to give it another try. The interior was tasteful and neutral, and the location is perfect for grabbing a to-go drink and taking a stroll in the park.

Cake delicious, service nice but extremely slow and not very communicative (after waiting 15 minutes "we close in 15 minutes, so no more cake for you"), sitting outside was great but boring inside

Super tasty, everything perfect 🤩 jammi 👌

Great café, always delicious food and drinks. Difficult to get a place.

If I could I would give a 0 for the fact that the employees ignore you 2 hours before closing time because they are in so much hurry to close and go home that they are only interested in cleaning... I would certainly say that is the proper rewiev they deserve. Owner should change closing time to 6 pm and not 8 pm for sundays.

Wanted a coffee to go. The service was hopelessly overwhelmed or understaffed. First we had to wait more than 20 minutes for a coffee (seriously for a to-go item) and then there were no more lids even though we were there at lunchtime. Why this upsets me: I had to resist a review weeks ago when the same thing happened because I thought it was an exception but then it took forever for to-go and then no lids a second time: that's a pattern. The boss should hire more people and keep enough caps because the waiting time and performance are poor for the price. The store lost a customer. 🤷🏻

I've been there several times, unfortunately the tables outside were often dirty and weren't cleaned up. The food is very tasty.

The food was fancy, but the portions were quite small. The scrambled eggs with bacon (€11) didn't fill me up, but it was tasty. The service was very bad, although it was friendly, I have never seen service staff pay so little attention to clearing empty plates and taking orders in a timely manner. There were plenty of service staff for the few tables; chatting with each other was probably more important. The kitchen closes at 2 p.m., I wanted to order a second portion at 1:45 p.m. to fill me up. Despite all the stares, waves and greetings from the staff, no one came to us until 2:03 p.m. We couldn't order food anymore - the kitchen was closed! At least the time is very precise. My complaint about this was commented on with a simple apology, but there was no kind of accommodation/compensation, so I am now writing the review. Consolation: The location is really nice right next to the park.

Great change and enrichment at the zoo park. After renovation with plenty of space and a large selection of drinks and food. Plus with pleasantly good service.

Everything was wonderful and the food was delicious!! Always my pleasure!

Nice spot right next to the park with a diverse menu. We came here for coffee and cake and were not disappointed. The coffee was very tasty, the cheesecake was good. We will definitely stop by again to try breakfast or something from the evening menu. Plus, it's a place to just people watch and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere. Is recommended.

Great cafe with a beautiful view Very nice and attentive service, beautiful view of the nearby park and delicious coffee and cake ☕🍰 Very clear recommendation 👌🏻

What a beautiful, chilled out location with attentive, friendly staff and very good food, both the truffle fries and the side salad were delicious, as was the chai latte, see you again soon 🥰

The café is nice, but unfriendly service and snoring food ruin the whole impression.

Nice service, although not the fastest. There is a delicious breakfast here, right next to the park. Dogs are also welcome. Recommended for breakfast. Price-performance ratio is good.

Today I wanted to buy a coffee to go for a nice walk in the zoo park. Unfortunately, I had a negative experience at this cafe. At first it took a long time for them to "serve" us at the window for to-go drinks. Then I was allowed to shout (!) to the employee that I would like a latte macchiato with oat milk. After about 2 minutes I got the drink. To pay by card, I put my card on the reader. I couldn't see the display. Did it work? Apparently, because the gentleman immediately brought the device back to its original location and that was it. No “thank you” or “bye” or anything like that. He didn't even look at us anymore. Such behavior is impossible, no matter if you are stressed, because these words are the minimum. The “highlight” came when I tried the latte macchiato. He served it to me with cow's milk. Absolute no-go, because there are allergy sufferers like me who cannot tolerate cow's milk! What did I learn from this visit? 1. I no longer visit this café. 2. Always ask again whether it really is with oat drink (in other cafes it was always prepared correctly for me). P. S.: The walk was still nice! 🌞🌳

We like to go to Alfreds regularly, even for an Aperol in the evening 😉. For some time now, however, it has been noticeable that the pieces of cake are getting smaller and smaller. Today, however, the negative peak. The piece of frosted apple pie was less than twice the size of a matchbox! The price of €3.80 is totally excessive. Sorry, but that can also scare off coffee cake customers! 👎

Had the pulled beef burger with fries - tasty, but could do with some sauce and I find €1.50 for some mayonnaise really cheeky given the already high prices.

Came quite late in the evening but still got to sit calmly and have a nice glass of wine on recommendation of the house.

Super delicious breakfast Service is nice and attentive A little more expensive than other cafes that serve breakfast, but it's worth every cent. I haven't had a better breakfast anywhere else 🩷

Very pleasant atmosphere and nice service. The truffle fries were very tasty.

The wedding party had a fantastic day at Alfreds and were excellently looked after from the champagne reception to the Latenigh Club. The service is top notch!

Went to Alfreds today and go there often. Unfortunately the taller blonde waitress was really bad today. She was completely arrogant, unfriendly and condescending. It seemed to us that she was extremely arrogant because we were foreigners. She wasn't like that at other tables. It's a real shame because the boss is always so nice. As a group of mothers, we always love going to Alfred's, but the behavior today was really not okay and the condescending look from top to bottom wasn't working at all.

Very good cappuccino, juice spritzers also homemade, everything was very tasty. Various cakes are also recommended. Fast and attentive service. The café/restaurant is located directly at the zoo park, so it's ideal for walking a few steps afterwards.

Very good cappuccino, dog-friendly place.

The best cafe in Düsseldorf. Great people, very good drinks and wonderful food. Large cappuccino every day ☕️

I've been there twice now and have to say that the food tastes good, but the portions are relatively small. That's why there is one point less!

Excellent cuisine, great location, excellent price-performance ratio. Fast, very nice service. Dog friendly and very varied menu.

A cozy cafe with a nice view to the Zoo park; a great place for afternoon coffee and cake. The staff are very friendly and the quality of food and drinks is excellent.

We (2) were here for the first time and sat outside in the beautiful sunshine. Until the evening shift there is apparently only one waitress outside. She seemed a bit stressed - understandable - when it's full. We ate a veggie burger and tagliatelle carbonara from the lunch menu for €9.90. What do you expect from a lunch menu? Exactly - that a dish from here will fill you up. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case with the carbonara because the portion was so small that I had to order two. When asked about this from inside, the waitress said in monosyllables that there was no other way to do business. My companion - 30 years of gastronomy experience - and I saw it differently. Then it's better to ask for 2-3 euros more, but serve decent portions. Then we drank Alfred's lemonade. We assumed it would be something homemade...it was passion fruit nectar with seltzer water and some mint. We found it a bit misleading. The cake (poppy seeds with a layer of citrus jelly) was very tasty, as was the Americano. We spent a few hours in a pleasant and sociable atmosphere, the location is beautiful.

Great location at the zoo park. Delicious food, friendly and competent service. Excellent. Keep it up.

I've been here twice and I don't want to anymore. You have to wait at least 20 minutes for one drink. Or your order will be just forgotten.

Great café with delicious food and friendly service.

You can sit very nicely both inside and outside. Food and drinks are great. And the service is very friendly. I like coming here.

More than 1 hour waiting with baby without any notice upfront. Limited choice of food. Very rude and unfriendly manager. It’s really a pity as the location is great…

The food tasted super delicious. The waiters were a bit inattentive at first but still friendly. We will be back definitely.

A small, fine cafe, with small dishes, also vegetarian (vegan?) and cakes made in-house. Located in close proximity to the Unterrath cemetery, which is why we were there; after a funeral service. Lines 705 and 707 also have their final stop in this area

Was here for the first time. Very mixed audience, I really like it. I find prices for avocado bread, for example, very expensive.

Delicious and, above all, great service, even with a baby

But I really have to say that it's pretty expensive.

Worst place ever. We have been waiting on a line 15 minutes to order and then they told us that they had too many orders and it wasn’t possible. Afterwards we’ve taken sit on a table outside and have been one hour waiting for an orange juice and granola yogurt. After one hour of waiting we had to leave and they wanted to charge us for the food that we weren’t served.

I only had coffee to go. But the service was just chaotic! Waiters are running all over the place, nobody cares about customers who want something to take away.

Went there for brunch and I ordered the Easter special. My dish, and the dishes from other tables, were swimming in mayonnaise. To then charge almost 16 euros for that is crazy. My partner's dish was more palatable, but also not a hit. Especially not for these high prices. The ambience is very nice, you feel comfortable. The waiters are also really very friendly and helpful. I would only come here for drinks, but I wouldn't eat there anymore. For the veggies: Be sure to ask whether the dishes contain meat. There were two strips of bacon on my dish which was not specified on the menu!

Super leckere Küche mit tollem Ambiente direkt am Park . Es gibr dort hausgemachte sehr leckere Kuchen . Sehr kinderfreundlich und top Servicekräfte.

True tolerance does not end when someone has a different opinion. A pity. No one should be denied the right to use the restroom, especially since I offered to pay for it.

Mittags ist die Speisekarte kleiner als abends, es sollte sich aber dennoch eine Möglichkeit finden. Die Innenbestuhlung verwirrt etwas, da die bequemeren Sitzmöbel außen angeordnet sind und die Notsitze an der attraktiveren Wandlage. Preislich in Ordnung, gerade für Düsseldorf-Zoo, die Bedienung ist freundlich, und das Essen schmeckt.

Alfreds is a very nice cafe/restaurant because the ambience is consistently harmonious. It is a place where no matter whether young or old feels comfortable. Everyone is welcome, whether alone or in groups. I've had one or two latte macchiatos and homemade cakes there myself. Both were very tasty. I now have the impression that no matter what cake I eat there, they always taste delicious :). The staff is very helpful and friendly.

Great service, tasty, good selection, very friendly staff. Just wonderful

Fantastic brunch! Wonderful cake

Finally a café and bistro in the zoo park that is also nicely decorated. The service is very good and friendly. There are weekly changing lunch dishes and other tasty little things. Breakfast and cake anyway. In summer you can also sit outside. Also suitable for children as there is a play area. Now in winter it could be a little warmer inside sometimes.

Tip Top in all areas. Service very nice and attentive. Food very tasty and fair prices. Small play area for kids and the staff was very fond of children. Some children's meals and children's meals. Very, very great!

Beautiful café and restaurant in the zoo park. Alfreds offers everything your heart desires for a relaxing day or evening, both to linger and to-go. Breakfast can be particularly recommended. :)

Delicious breakfast in a lovely atmosphere

A relatively new cafe located at the entrance to Zoo Park. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and a wide selection of menus, and for lunch you can get pasta for as little as €9. The inside of the restaurant is larger than I expected, but it's very busy and noisy during lunchtime, so I don't think it's suitable for when you want to have a leisurely conversation.

It's nice, but totally overpriced...the fries cost 5.50 euros last year, now they cost 9.50 euros!!!!! This is a rip off

A very pleasant restaurant. The terrace with a view of the park. Black parasols, nice cutlery and delicious food at good prices. Attentive service. We recommend. Günter F. Schmitz author

Varied lunch menu. We really enjoy eating there. Great service and very nice staff ☺️

I love sitting in the café and looking out over the zoo park. Cakes and drinks are very tasty and the waitresses are always very friendly, even if it is very crowded and chaotic (like every Sunday).

Alfreds is a very cute and family-friendly café. I've been there several times and had breakfast, lunch or got a snack - and I have to say that the food was always great in taste and well prepared. Can only recommend this café for a visit after a leisurely walk in the zoo park.

Nettes Café. Freundlicher Service. Perfekt für einen Kaffee zwischendurch. Auch das Frühstück ist für die kleine Location gut

Really cute place by the Zoopark. We love their Aperol spritz, also the tall blonde waitress is very friendly 🩷

Super Frühstück! Mega schönes Lokal, tolle Auswahl und mega lecker. Stammlokal ab jetzt!

Super leckeres Frühstück sehr nettes Personal ,wir kommen wieder

Super Restaurant mit klasse Frühstück. Auch für Nachmittagskuchen und Abendessen ist gesorgt. Daußen sitzt es sich besonders schön - besonders mit Hund. Wenn viel zu tun ist, braucht der - sehr nette - Service etwas Zeit. Aber das ist in Ordnung. Das Gesamtkonzept stimmt.

Super Kuchen, sehr leckerer Kaffee und auch eine schöne Auswahl an Weinen

Süße, gemütliche Location. Preis Leistung super. Sehr freundliches und zuvorkommendes Personal. Wir kommen wieder!

Super tolles gelungene Konzept. Von Frühstück, abwechslungsreiche Mittagskarte und super leckeren Kaffee mit selbst gebackenem Kuchen bis über Abendessen fehlt hier an nichts. Tolles Ambiente direkt am Park mit freundlichem Personal. 👌

Leckeres Essen mit einer tollen Ambiente.Bei einem Spaziergang im Zoopark, Alfreds Kuchen und Kaffee nicht vergessen.

Nice place near Zoopark. Busy, has terrace. Lovely foods. Friendly people.

Am Eingang des Parks, ja, netter Gegend, aber nichts besonderes, durchschnittlich. Düsseldorfer Preisniveau

Sehr nett , tolle Preis Leistung. Essen sehr hochwertig !

Tolle Kaffeeröstung! Gemütlich, aufgeräumte Einrichtung! Sehr leckeres Frühstück! Übersichtliches Angebot!

Hier bezahlt man die Lage und das doppelt und dreifach… es war vor der Rezession schon überteuert und jetzt versucht sich hier die Besitzerin auch noch die Inflation der nächsten zehn Jahre zu sichern. Kundenfreundlichkeit kennen auch nur die Angestellten, nicht die Besitzerin.

Super leckeres Frühstück, Kaffee und Kuchen

Wir haben heute Mittag Getränke to Go bestellt. Zwei Mitarbeiterinnen waren mega freundlich. Die uns die Getränke vorbereitet hat war mega unsympathisch und unfreundlich!!! Wir hatten drei Getränke mit Hafermilch bestellt und Sie hat normale Milch verwendet. (Kann mal vorkommen) Wir haben Sie darauf aufmerksam gemacht, daraufhin hat Sie die to Go Becher mit voller Wut ins Waschbecken geschleudert „jut dann eben von neu“. Schrecklich!!! Ich denke dass ich kein zweites Mal kommen werde, sorry!

Wir waren heute zum Frühstück dort ! Ein sehr nettes Cafe mit schönem Ambiente ,die Bedienung war sehr freundlich und Aufmerksam !!! Gerne wieder ....

Ich mag den Ort sehr gerne. Das Personal ist unglaublich freundlich, Essen top und man fühlt sich einfach wohl. Mein neues Lieblingscafé

Super süß! Das Alfred's passt perfekt an den Zoopark, es ist ein rundum gelungenes Konzept. Die Einrichtung ist sehr modern, die Kaffeespezialitäten sind von hoher Qualität und es wird auf Nachhaltigkeit geachtet (gläserne Trinkhalme). Es gibt eine sehr umfangreiche Speisen- und Getränkeauswahl. Ich freue mich sehr, dass wir so ein schönes Etablissement in der Nähe haben! Teilweise sind die Fotos der Speisen veraltet, weil die Karte noch häufig wechselt.

Es schmeckt gut und das Personal ist freundlich. Im Sommer sitzt es sich auch sehr schön draußen - doch im Winter riecht man nach paar Minuten im Innenraum bereits nach Fritteuse.

We spontaneously decided to return and have my birthday dinner here too. So I was keen to leave another review as the quality of the dish we ordered (truffle risotto), service and vibes exceeded my expectations once again. Thank you Team Alfreds for making this birthday meal so special!!🎈

Ein kurzer Arztbesuch, dann sollte ein Frühstück den Morgen krönen. Ein Blick in Google mit der Frage „Frühstück?“ und das Alfreds ploppte auf. Wer in dieser Ecke von Düsseldorf mal eine Auszeit braucht, ist hier mehr als richtig. Neben einem kleinen, aber niedlichen Park mit See und Rundweg, liegt der Bungalow vom „Alfred‘s“. Hier kann man sowohl draußen wie auch drinnen Frühstück und mehr über den Tag (Mittagessen etc.) genießen. Die Auswahl auf der Karte ist klein, fein und kreativ. Auch kleine Leute finden zwei Gerichte zur Auswahl. Ein Stück Kuchen oder Kaffee to go kann man hier ebenfalls bekommen. Der Service war unglaublich nett und aufmerksam, Essen und Getränke (super leckerer Latte Macchiato und frisch gepresster O-Saft sowie Chai Latte) kamen rasch und waren sehr lecker! Geht mal hin! Hier kann man die Seele baumeln lassen!

Wundervolles Café - hier kann man Frühstücken, Mittagessen, Kaffee trinken und Abendessen 😋

Sehr leckeres Essen! Mittagstisch von 12.00h bis 15.00h. Sehr nette Bedienung. Köstlicher Kuchen. Immer wieder gerne! Sitzgelegenheit aussen, das ist klasse. Auch Sitzgelegenheit innen sehr schön!

Schönes Ambiente am Eingang der Parkanlage. Speisekarte ausßerrgewöhnlich, Das das Essen sehr lecker und preislich fair.

Super freundlicher Service und eine absolute tolle Location, komme immer gerne hier her :)

Great place. Tasty wrap. Awesome service.

Super schön eingerichtetes Cafè, habe bis jetzt nur hier gefrühstückt, alles wird mit Liebe angerichtet und Sitzmöglichkeit draußen direkt vor dem Park vorhanden. Super tolle Location.

Sehr schönes Café am Eingang des Zooparks. Die neuen Pächter haben echt etwas tolles geschaffen. Super netter Service, total schöne Einrichtung und ein leckeres Essensangebot, was man auf jeden Fall ausprobieren sollte. Sehr viele Sitzmöglichkeiten auch draußen, eine echte Bereicherung fürs Zooviertel!

Allgemein ein schönes Café mit gutem Essen und netten Mitarbeitern/ nettem Service.

Lecker gegessen bei Sonnenschein und Blick in den Park💕 immer Bewegung im Grünen. Toller Ort

war das erstmal dort und muss leider zu meinem bedauern 3 Punkte abziehen. Wenn man Personal Mangel hat sollte man sein Platzanzahl anpassen. Wir haben knapp 25 Minuten gewartet bis die Kellnerin gekommen ist und dann nochmal 20 Minuten bis unsere Getränke kamen. Für 4 Getränke knapp 50 Minuten warten ist eher ein Armutszeugnis. Die Getränke waren OK. Preisleistung ist für Düsseldorfer Verhältnis in der Gegend OK. Aber dafür sollte der Service passen. Die Kellnerin die uns bedient hat war sehr im stress, aber dafür kann Sie nichts. Da sollte der GF besser organisieren oder die Gäste hierzu einfach abholen und mitteilen, dass es länger dauert. Da es bei mir um die Ecke ist, werde ich nochmal hingehen um zuschauen , ob sich die Situation verbessert hat. Nach der letzten Erfahrung, wurde ich eher zu NEIN tendieren. Manko: Service zu lange. Tische wurden erst nach Aufforderung sauber gemacht. Fazit. Netter Café am ZOOPARK.Der Service ist überfordert wegen Personalmangel. Trotz allem war der Service nett. Preise sind in einem etwas hohen Segment. Wenn der Service stimmen wurde wer das OK.

Ich war jetzt mehrmals essen, es besteht noch sehr viel Luft nach oben, es war wirklich nicht überragend. Dafür ist das Personal unfassbar nett und freundlich. Und die Kuchen sind toll ❤️

Great place, cozy interior and friendly people. I was there and they had BBQ outside. The plate was perfect, the fish grilled on point and the sauce was outstanding. Great work. Will come back for breakfast.

Do not order matcha latte here. I ordered matcha latte with oat milk for take away and I got this drink that I had to throw away as it was nothing like matcha and the taste was just terrible.

Schöne Location und sehr lecker. Die Portionen sind allerdings leider bei uns 5 Personen jeweils viel zu klein gewesen. Wirklich schade.

Erster und letzter Besuch. Personal ist eher abwesend und unfreundlich, das Frühstück überteuert und einfallslos, die Qualität maximal durchschnittlich.

Sehr nette Mitarbeiter, super schöne Einrichtung, leckeres Essen & toller Kaffee - ich bin immer wieder gerne im Alfreds :)
