Glorious Café - Bar - Restaurant in Dortmund

The food was good. The location was nice too. I was actually going to give it 5 stars until I went to the restroom. It was a shock. A terrible state. I've never seen such a dirty, broken restroom anywhere.

The cocktails are recommended here, very high proof Furnishings are very nice, but unfortunately the lighting is far too bright Despite the fact that the shop was very empty because we were there quite early, the sanitary facilities weren't that nice Very dark tiled but unfortunately that doesn't get rid of the smell

Nice breakfast deal for 2 with croissants, rolls, cheese, sausage, coffee, orange juice.

I went here for breakfast with my best friend. We had the Glorious breakfast for 2 people. The breakfast tasted great, it was very nicely prepared and we were full :) Price/performance was also great. The conditions and the chef were very friendly and accommodating. We really liked it and will go there more often. Earned 5 ☆☆☆☆☆♡

I rarely write negative reviews, but I have to put today's experience down on virtual paper. During my visit to the city today, I urgently had to go to the toilet and asked Glorious if I could use the location - for a fee, of course. The gentleman from Glorious stood wide in the door and said in a harsh tone: “Only for customers!” After I pointed out again that I was of course paying for it and that I had often eaten and drank here with my women's group, I was again rudely refused entry. When I pointed out that I thought that was a shame and that we would probably look for another restaurant in the future, I only responded with a sneer: "I'll survive that!" Dear Glorious: If you deny another person the opportunity to satisfy a basic need, even after several offers of payment, it is an outrage if you are also treated like dirt. The pandemic has forced many restaurants to close. I find it more than presumptuous to stand up now in such a short time and suggest that you don't depend on customers anyway.

We went here for breakfast. Very nice atmosphere and a very cozy café. The service is also very friendly, even if there were unbridgeable language barriers. However, the men's toilet is disgusting, hence two stars deducted.

Very friendly and the service is very fast

Love this cafe so much, it's never as crowded as the other cafes nearby and is much more pleasant when you just want to chat. I studied there quite often during my Abitur and have since moved to another city to study, and still come back here every time I'm in Dortmund. The ambience and atmosphere are really nice and cozy but what really is the best thing about this café is the staff and the team that works there. I have rarely had such an open-minded, friendly and friendly team in restaurants and cafés as here. The service is really top, you are always happy to receive such a warm welcome. Above all, the lovely employee Bayram, a really kind person and so personable that you would want to come back just for his kind. You can now even rent games like Uno or similar and play them at the table with your friends, which makes your stay even nicer. I can't complain about the food and drinks either, the price-performance ratio is fair and there is something for everyone. So far I haven't ordered anything that I didn't like!

We wanted to have breakfast on February 5th, 2025 at 9:30 a.m. and had it via Groupon on February 3rd. Bought a voucher for two people. The date was confirmed and we set off on Wednesday morning. When we arrived at Glorius on time, the door was open but the restaurant was closed until 10:30 a.m. What's this, Groupon confirms the appointment, but the restaurant is closed, what's going on here. A really nice lady, she cleaned the restaurant, said something like that happens often. We were allowed to leave without having accomplished anything. The crown then sits on Groupon and writes that we have already booked an appointment and now we have to check in detail whether and how we can get our money back. It's surprising that you can even book appointments outside of business hours. Whoever is to blame here can only say that they don't receive any service and then please get your money back immediately. It doesn't matter who does what wrong and where, apart from all the trouble.

Great place! I was here with my team. We had enough space and a nice table! The service was attentive and the orders came in a good timely manner. The price-performance ratio is right and the food and drinks are delicious! I'll definitely come back ☺️

Very tasty and good breakfast - however, the salmon portion for 2 people is tiny and the scrambled eggs are also tight. The service is very friendly, attentive and accommodating. Price-performance ratio is okay.

A mixture of everything, service friendly, ambience could be a little better maintained (walls partly with dried stains) eat and drink good 👍

Delicious food, good value for money.

Fried snitzel. A wanna-be hip place. Looks okay

Surprisingly delicious tomato soup and friendly service

The breakfast was super delicious, not on the rolls, which I would have liked to have had differently, but there was free coffee as much as I wanted, the salmon was a bit small, but I still had enough. Service was friendly and polite and even pretty I come often Kind regards, Emu

I was in town, wanted to go to the toilet and offered 2 euros (not a guest), they refused: "Then we would have to let everyone use the toilet." What's the problem if someone has to, asks nicely and is willing to pay money for it???

The saleswoman was nice but had to ask several times what we had ordered. 30 minutes wait for a cocoa and a coffee. She spoke almost no German and in the end she billed us incorrectly and we paid 10 euros too much. I would not recommend the employee. It wasn't nice.

Very good food at a reasonable price. Service is excellent

I had breakfast there. The staff was very friendly, the food was very tasty (except for the honey, which was okay) and the atmosphere is very cozy and creates a holiday atmosphere.

Unprofessional. When asked about a decaf coffee, the waiter only replied that he didn't know how to do it. But he didn't inform himself either.

Was here from groupon. Everything very good. Breakfast was plentiful and very good. Very friendly staff. Gladly again

We ordered three cocktails and each received a glass with lots of ice and little alcohol. I also missed grenadine in my Tequila Sunrise. It was our first and last visit. Should be a nice evening 🤫

Service was super bad, very unfriendly

Glorious Café - Bar - Restaurant is in an excellent location, right on the pedestrian zone. It gets very busy here, especially during the holidays, which gives the atmosphere a certain liveliness. The decor is stylish and cozy, ideal for a relaxing time with friends or family. The staff is very friendly and attentive, the service was quick even though the restaurant was full. The food was fresh and very tasty, I was particularly impressed by the tea with ginger and mint. A wonderful place to spend time both during the day and in the evening. I definitely recommend this cafe restaurant and will definitely come back!

A very welcoming & beautiful cafe with a pleasant ambience, both inside and out. Drinks and food are also impressive every time. A nice café where you can spend time comfortably.

Very tasty food...nice service...moderate prices...we'll be back

I recommend super tasty cocktails. Nice service We will be back Bravo 👍 Glorious

An extremely good one-manufactory, well located in the city center. It starts with the guest's arrival, where an extremely friendly employee greets the customer. The selection and prices of the variety are fantastic and special requests are taken into account. Portions were more than sufficient, can you say the ice cream filled you up? If so, then all I can say is that my dinner is canceled today. The ambience is very modern and inviting, there are enough seats. A very friendly farewell and request for feedback shows quality awareness. Payment is easy and quick with a smile, which means a tip of an appropriate amount is a must! definitely recommended!!! Thanks

We spent the day here with a World Cup match. They didn't expect it to be so busy. What we drank and ate was good. If we go to Dortmund again, we will definitely end up there again.

Great indifference of the waiters, they don't serve you, I'm Spanish and they ignore my face

Extremely salty food!! and not customer oriented at all. I just left the restaurant without eating and was horrified. The staff wasn't willing to take the food back, but instead wanted to cook me the same dish again to go with the schnitzel, which was salty from start to finish, with pepper sauce and fries. Logically, this was no longer an option. I wanted a glass of water to balance out the salt bomb in my mouth, and this was also followed by long, tiring discussions and the request to the customer to order the water as still water. I then asked if I had to pay again for your poor cooking to get water and if that was serious. When I wanted to give the food back for the first time after two bites, the small glass of water came to me without any problems. However, after another 2 bites and the small glass of water, I was unable to eat any more of the food. I had to pay the bill in full and pointed out to the lady and the cook that it was in no way justified and, above all, that this behavior only shows BAD hosts. No accusation!

We are always thrilled. Whether it's breakfast or schnitzel, everything was great 👍 we'll definitely be back!

Toilets were a mess, one toilet had no toilet seat at all, the other was broken, very dirty, we were there very early so the toilets weren't cleaned

Food was good. Only the third waitress was able to take the order. We then waited 1.5 hours for the food. The order was completely mixed up. Reconciliation shots were offered. During the stay we ran out of large soft drinks, glasses and noodles.

More chairs than staff. After a long wait, the waitress came to tell us that they had placed an order hold of 20 minutes. After this, an order was taken 20 minutes later and we waited another half hour for it.

Similar to other reviews I’ve read service was awful Asked for a table for 1 person, the waitress then grunted at me, I then said “It’s okay leave it then” and left We have a limited time on this planet but unlimited restaurants we can go to, why waste time at this one?

Never seen such unfriendly staff in my life

As a group of 6, we wanted to eat at this restaurant on a Saturday evening after the Turkey game. After we called the waiter ourselves after 30 minutes, our order was taken twice by 2 different waiters because the first employee apparently wasn't able to take the order correctly. It was already clear to us that we had nothing. We didn't have any special requests here, apart from the mushrooms, which should be left out of the pasta dish. We have emphasized this SEVERAL TIMES. After about 70 minutes the food arrived - with mushrooms of course. The other 2 dishes (3 other dishes were not brought - forgot??) that were brought to the table were cold. I complained about this immediately. After 5 minutes the waiter came back with the plate, put the plate in front of me with the words “Here you go Madame”. Here is the chef?! I picked out the mushrooms from the dish by hand, left them a bit undisturbed and gave me the plate back. (Of course there were still some mushrooms left in the food) I then asked the waiter again what the problem was. The language was probably a barrier here and communication was not possible. Insight was not shown here either. What if there was an allergy? In the end we paid for the drinks and left. Annoying when you want to eat something relaxed. Conclusion: I cannot recommend this restaurant under any circumstances, it would be better to go one store further. If you're up for very long waiting times, cold food, wrong dishes, incompetent and unfriendly staff, you should definitely go here.

Cozy place to stay and enjoy the great food. Nice location, great furnishings.

We wanted to watch the game between Türkiye and Georgia. There were several televisions showing the game. We sat at the back of the store and actually had a good view. The air was extremely stuffy and the cigar smoke from outside came all the way in. The service was totally unfriendly, incompetent and completely ignored us for 20 minutes. Until one of us had to get up and go to a waiter. The game started and the internet was so bad that our TV was showing 5 minutes behind so we could hear from the others when a goal was scored. Order also arrived incorrectly because the waiter didn't know what to type. If you want to watch a game in this store, you can stay at home. Save yourself time and spend your money elsewhere. WE WILL NEVER ENTER THIS STORE AGAIN.

Unfortunately the service was very poor. When we wanted to order something they didn't even know what we meant from the menu. We repeated ourselves several times but he only knew when we showed it on the map. Unfortunately just very confused staff and very disorganized. Not recommendable

Came here for Inter Nations event loved it

Very great, good, tasty food, reasonably priced and the ambience was also great

Had nachos and cocktails. The drinks were great. The nachos and sauces were average. Great shop. Nice boss.

Good food, very nice staff, fast service and also okay in terms of price. We'd love to come back

We are not only impressed by the location but also by the great waiter who was very attentive and competent...we were impressed by Oguzhan. We would be happy to come back. Thank you very much Oguzhan...you made our time at Glorious better

Very nice waitresses. Only had drinks.

Well run cafe, Nice and friendly service..Top..

Self-service cafe restaurant, the waitresses were absolutely friendly, we gave them a gift even though it was our first time there, reasonable prices for very good products, nice, cozy atmosphere. You can let your eyes wander and discover special details again and again. We'll be back✌

Unfortunately the food quality is poor. Steak completely done, salmon too - tastes like it's deep fried.

Waited 10 minutes sitting outside, no service. Then waited at counter another 10 minutes and no one showed up. Didn't eat at all and left. Unreal

The quality of the food was excellent and the price/performance ratio was reasonable. The staff was very accommodating.

Everything is on top - Excellent, we celebrated the completion of the German language course.

Delicious schnitzels at a good price.

Booked the breakfast offer through Groupon. Two different bookings called again and asked them to be put at the same table. The employee was friendly and confirmed the booking and that you could sit at a table. Today we stood in front of a closed shop. After we had breakfast somewhere else, the shop was open. Are purely there to inquire and complain. We were then boldly asked if we wanted to have breakfast at 1:30 p.m. We said no because we would like the money back. The owner then made various offers, which were rejected because we didn't want to eat here anymore and we couldn't spontaneously plan when to eat there otherwise. Voucher would not be possible either. Groupon is to blame and had given incorrect opening times, but reservations were clearly visible in the restaurant system. Now we have to take care of the money ourselves. However, changed opening times were not posted anywhere. Food cannot be rated.

We had reserved a table for breakfast today and found ourselves in front of the closed door. After we had breakfast somewhere else we saw that the bar was open. We asked for an explanation and no proposed solutions such as a refund or a voucher were accepted. Now we can clarify everything about Groupon, although the reservation was discussed over the phone, the owner did not find an acceptable solution.

The ambience looked good, unfortunately we couldn't test the place. We had a reservation through Groupon and the store was closed. Although we made sure by phone on Thursday that it was open and we needed a table for 6. The lady on the phone said until Monday. If they had said it was closed, we would have oriented ourselves differently. When it opened at 12:30 we made our reservation. At first we apparently didn't know anything and called the boss, who then saw that we had a reservation. But unfortunately they didn't want to find a solution with us. I no longer need breakfast at 12:40 and we also had other appointments and with 6 people an appointment for next week cannot be implemented. I think it's not his problem that the times are given incorrectly. Now we have giant theaters with Groupon saying the reservation has expired and we can't cancel it and refund it. The last word has not yet been spoken. Very unfortunate!

Spacious bar with dining facilities in the center of Dortmund. Friendly staff, fast service, but not much atmosphere. Nice big cup of coffee and delicious draft beer. Cheeseburger was also great!

The ice cream was very tasty. I had the Amarena plate.

Excellent service and taste of drinks, the waiter was very friendly.

Comfortable and very friendly staff. Was content.

There's football roaring on the TV in the front and quiet music in the back, but you can hear both. What ambience should I perceive? Lemonade was syrup with fizz and lots of ice for €7. Plate of nachos and waffles (a topping €1.40 for the waffles) for just under €20, exorbitantly expensive for what little is of inferior quality on the plate. The women's toilets are dirty, smell like that too, the floor sticks, the toilet seat is broken and the flush is broken, only cold water for washing and the soap dispenser is rusting and almost falling off. At the same time, an employee sprayed himself with a lot of coconut perfume at the bar, which could quickly be smelled throughout the restaurant. And loudly made a video call. We observed that another customer had ordered a bottle of still water. Then wanted to cancel this and asked for tap water, which was refused. The opened bottle was then placed back in the fridge at the bar. Hygiene standards are not adhered to. Overall: a lot of money for nothing. Not worth (another) visit.

We were just passing through Dortmund city and stopped here to have something to drink. Staff was very friendly and prices were reasonable.

Very nice cafe. Delicious cocktails. Great ambience. We didn't eat anything. The service was great.

Loading rubbish, doesn't even broadcast Dortmund games, totally overpriced. Never again!

Pork schnitzel with broccoli hollondaise, salad and fries - highly recommended! Fresh and tasty, will definitely come back again. Very nice service - we felt very comfortable

Unfortunately, the host is only friendly towards current customers. I came to the store because I really needed to go to the toilet. Unfortunately, despite multiple requests that it was urgent, I was turned away. Personally, I don't understand that. If there was a Christmas market or other big event outside and there were lots of people using the toilet, I could understand it. But to deny someone their needs on a normal weekday is, in my opinion, simply narrow-minded and unkind. Definitely will not visit this store again.

This is the worst restorant I can recommend that it's better to go somewhere else, but not because the staff is a disaster in the evening, they walk into the restaurant with sunglasses and we waited for our order for more than an hour, the staff talk about YouTube videos and finally we didn't get our order and others Gone restaurant I don't recommend this to you

Hello, Went to dinner with my family earlier and I thought it was good, the food and drink were perfect and the service was really fantastic. Keep it up!

Had a three-course meal today. Bruschetta, schnitzel, cheesecake. The food was super tasty and well prepared. All the waitresses were nice, friendly, attentive and accommodating. The atmosphere is very inviting and cozy. Prices absolutely great. We will be back definitely.

We hebben hier heerlijk gegeten. Tafel was netjes voor ons gereserveerd. Duurde wel erg lang voor6we ons eten kregen. Ook geen tussentijdse info over de lange wachttijd . Het was wel erg druk ivm de kerstmarkt en een wedstrijd van Dortmund.

We went in so that I could get a coffee and to spend 5min away from the cold (I struggle with the cold and caffeine helps my body to wake up). The first waiter was nice, but the second one was incredibly rude. He asked whether we had only asked for my coffee, and before I could explain our situation and that we were not gonna take the table for more than 5min, he grunted a "no good" and glared at us. We felt extremely uncomfortable, and he completely ruined our mood. 5min later we paid and went on our way. The coffee was a bit watery but they did give me twice the amount of sugar, which was nice. However, I wouldn't recommend it for the service. Or if you want to try this out make sure this man isn't your waiter.

Ich empfand es hier ein wenig dunkel. Die heiß Getränke sind in Ordnung. Was mich ein wenig überrascht hat ist, das die Kerzen eigentlich Grabkerzen sind. Ich bin mir nicht sicher ob man diese Kerzen in den Innräumen anbrennen darf. Die Frühstücks Auswahl empfinde ich als gut. Die Toiletten 🚽 sind auch hier mal wieder eine Etage tiefer. Bei entsprechendem Wetter kann man auch draußen sitzen.

Keine Eis Toppings fand ich blöd. Der Rest war lecker 👍

Umfangreiche Frühstückskarte, beste Qualität der Produkte, sehr freundlicher, umsichtiger Service, moderate Preise, was will man mehr. Jederzeit wieder.

Freundliche Mitarbeiter Gerne wieder

Nettes Cafe. Guter Service. Preise sind o.k.

Sehr schöne ort zum ausruhen und Kaffee zu.trinken

Als ik meer als 5 sterren kon geven had ik dat gedaan! Geweldig personeel en heerlijk eten echt een aanrader! Mocht ik ooit terug komen in dortmund ga ik zeker terug!

Nachdem wir ca 15 Min gewartet haben, kam der Kellner zunächst an den Nebentisch, hat drei Getränke notiert und hat dann unsere Bestellung ( zwei Latte Macciato)ohne jeglichen Blickkontakt, geschweige denn einem Hallo, aufgenommen. Nach 20 min wurden wir von einem anderen Kellner gefragt, ob wir bereits bestellt haben. Nach 30 Min wurde der Nebentisch mit den drei Getränken versorgt. Nach 40 Minuten sind wir aufgestanden und gegangen. Der Herr, der bei uns die Bestellung aufnahm, und uns ebenfalls nochmal fragte ob wir schon bestellt hatten, tat so als hätte er uns noch nie gesehen. Unfassbar! Und das bei einem fast leeren Laden!

Musste 50cent angeblich "Pflichttrinkgeld" zahlen, habe selber 2€ Trinkgeld bezahlt aber sowas zu fördern ist echt eine FRECHHEIT ! NIE wieder hin !!

Wir haben nur etwas getrunken. Bedienung super nett und sehr aufmerksam. Vielen Dank 😊👍

Wir hatten ein super leckeres und großes Frühstück, coole Mitarbeiter. Man sitzt hier sehr gemütlich und entspannt. 😎

Gutes Ambiente Nettes Personal Gute Preise

Gemütliches Café in der dortmunder Innenstadt. Von den umliegenden Parkhäusern also gut zu erreichen. Der Service war sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Das Frühstück hat mich total begeistert. Super angerichtet und sehr lecker. Kann ich auf jedenfall Empfehlung.

Netter Laden, toller Service, leckere Cocktails🥰. Die Lage mitten in der Dortmunder Innenstadt ist ideal um vorzuglühen oder den Abend ausklingen zu lassen.

Die Leute die eine schlechte Bewertung abgeben oder meinen Personal würden unfreundlich und frech sein oder sonstiges an die Leute die sowas schreiben ihr sollt euch schämen ich war dort gewesen und habe dort gegessen das Essen schmeckt sehr gut alles schön vorbereitet geschmacklich sehr gut und bin sehr zufrieden

Sehr schlechtes Personal!! Sehr unfreundlich die Tische sind immer dreckig, das Essen war kalt wir haben fast 30 min gewartet, die Preise sind sehr hoch für billiges Essen, ganz ehrlich geht einfach ein Café weiter zum Alex Café anstatt in diesen drecks laden

Wir hatten einmal einen Cappuccino und einmal einen Latte Macchiato bestellt. 👌🏼 Die Kellnerin war sehr freundlich zu uns. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Super nettes Personal leider etwas Chaotisch wer wo bedient. Aber trotzdem ok

Tolles Ambiente, lädt zum verweilen ein. Die Kellner sind sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Das Essen war auch lecker:)

I went with some of my friends to watch BVB last game in Bundesliga. After two hours from sitting waiting for the game, they decided not to operate one of the screens without any prior notification ! When we tried to know the reason, one of the stuff told one of my friends to go away !! Imagine u as s customer being told to go away ! We had to leave for sure after that. I will never go to this place again. Bad service & very aggressive attitude from stuff. No respect to customers !

Unfreundlich, der Chef ist bisschen frech und handelt die Menschen in schlechten Art.

Definitely doesn’t deserve any stars, but unfortunately it’s the minimum. We went today to watch Dortmund winning the Bundesliga final, we were there at 12 afternoon. We stayed on a table outside waiting for the game at 15:30. the owners told us they will stream the match but they left our screen off and when we asked them to turn it on they were very rude and said no we will not do that and screamed at others who had the same request, the owner pushed one man violently too. They had us waiting in vain for 2 hours just to take our money They could have told us that they don’t want to turn the screen on from the start, maybe because people will stand at the entrance of the restaurant to watch. Such a close minded and very rude to paying costumers when it’s crowded. We used to go there as a big group at Wednesday’s evenings, but never have we encountered the rude owner before. Never again will we go back there Totally not recommended

Super Laden! Wir waren zum Fußball gucken spontan im Glorious Café Dortmund und sind sehr zufrieden gewesen. Die Bedienung ist sehr nett, das Essen war ausgezeichnet und das Geschäft ist super schick. Empfehle es sehr gerne weiter.

Had a delicious meal of Jaggersnitzel all freshly cooked. Price was reasonable, service was excellent.

Frühstück war gut...und der Kaffee hätte später kommen müssen war dann kalt...lieber erst nur Sekt und Osaft...Rest später

Sehr leckeres Essen ( Wrap mit Curry) und sehr leckeres Bier Personal sehr nett und man konnte sich auch sehr nett unterhalten

Wir haben über eine Stunde auf unser Essen gewartet es ist auf keinen Fall zu empfehlen
