Kaffeehaus Wittekind in Halle (Saale)

The terrace is a lovely place to sit, the service is excellent, the waitresses are very friendly—a coffee house that doesn't get any better. The coffee and cakes are excellent! The location is perfect; we easily found a parking space, and in just a few minutes you're on the Saale River. With children, you can also quickly reach a playground in a historic park.

We often go here to get coffee or ice cream to go due to a lack of other options in the neighborhood, but unfortunately, when it comes to street vendors, you almost always feel like you have to apologize before ordering. The sales staff often seem overwhelmed and stressed, even on a normal weekday afternoon :(

Very good service and large selection at the cake buffet

Food was very tasty. Staff very friendly and attentive.

We went there on the recommendation of another restaurant owner and didn't regret it. We sat outside on the terrace. The staff was very friendly, attentive, and quick. They even came to our table occasionally to ask if everything was tasty and whether we were satisfied. Finally, a café/restaurant that still knows its stuff and makes its guests feel welcome. The food—we had aspic with crunchy potato salad and pasta aubergine, along with homemade iced tea—was amazing! Thanks again to the entire staff; we absolutely loved it.

Very long wait times for food on weekends. Reservations are recommended for breakfast/lunch on weekends. It's a great place to go for cake with parents or grandparents; there's an exorbitantly large selection of cakes.

The guests' food looked great. However, I didn't have much luck with my Swedish ice cream sundae. Aside from a few small blobs of applesauce, my ice cream had nothing in common with a Swedish sundae. For €11, it was also rather tiny. I'll be getting my ice cream elsewhere in the future.

Yes, very rustic, but the waiters take their time! We had to ask to pay! Very expensive!!!!!

Very friendly staff. The food is delicious. The ice cream is especially amazing, and the vegan chocolate cake is a dream 🥰

A beautiful café with a great 1920s charm and a lovely outdoor area. "Unfortunately," the weather was good, so we sat outside, but the interior is truly phenomenal. The homemade cakes are delicious, the service is friendly and attentive, and the coffee is delicious. All in all, we felt very comfortable.

Yes, I recommend it in principle. The ambiance is really great. But I'm disappointed with the value for money. The cake was brought to the table wrapped in foil. Maybe that was supposed to keep the cake fresh?! But it didn't. The service staff was polite and courteous.

The location is very beautiful and the ambiance very inviting. The staff is very friendly. Unfortunately, the food was very disappointing... the price/performance ratio was not right at all. We had pasta that was almost cold... the portion was ridiculous and almost €20. I would have expected better quality for that. I'll cook for myself again.

Really delicious coffee, and the baked goods look exquisite. The prices are very high! The waitresses seem unattentive and slow, but they're very friendly.

The cakes and coffee are delicious, as is the bowl. The prices are rather high.

The pricing is only partially understandable, or rather very high. The breakfast is undoubtedly delicious, but when the €25 cheese plate offers semi-hard cheese that I could also buy at a discount store (St. Albray or Scheiben Old Amsterdam), you do wonder whether Wittekind considers itself to be fine dining or not. The bread was homemade and very tasty, but for that price, the rest of the plate should be too! The café is dark but cozy; unfortunately, the noise level quickly increases with many customers, and it gets quite loud.

We ordered food for 70 euros, and it was way too salty. Half of it was inedible because it was simply too salty.

We hosted our wedding dinner at the Wittekind coffee house – and it was simply perfect! From the first contact to the end of the celebration, we felt well looked after. The communication in advance was friendly, binding and professional. Our menu wishes were implemented exactly, and on the day itself everything was perfectly prepared: the tables were stylishly set in white, the food was served on time and at the same time for everyone - and it was consistently delicious! We would particularly like to highlight the attentive and warm service, which was always present but never intrusive. Our guests were thrilled, and so were we – and we can wholeheartedly recommend the Wittekind coffee house. A beautiful place with excellent service and excellent food. Thank you for this unforgettable day!

A wonderful, sweet location in Halle just a few steps from the Saale. Very tasty cakes and nice service. Very relaxed atmosphere, you can sit outside when the weather is nice.

A wonderful place to escape from everyday life. The Café Haus Wiedekind impresses with its special charm, a loving atmosphere and a harmonious overall concept. The homemade cakes are incredibly fresh, creative and prepared with a lot of love. Particularly noteworthy is the friendly, attentive team, which makes your stay something personal. A real gem in Halle, I always like to come back here.

Large selection of cakes and tarts - super delicious. The heather sand cookies also taste great. Not exactly cheap in price, but definitely worth the money

Die Bedienung ist gereizt und überfordert. Für das Geld erwartet man ein bisschen mehr Nettigkeit. Die Sprüche der Bedienung zerstören einfach das Erlebnis. Als ob man dran schuld hätte, dass die dort arbeiten.

Not recommended!!!!Long waiting times, very poor service, snotty staff and a snooty boss who then informs you that she is not dependent on guests who express dissatisfaction...Very, very bad...

Gem in Halle near the Saale. Very tastefully furnished in a renovated Art Nouveau building. In the tradition of the famous Café Schade, which many Halle residents still know. Great cake, like New York Cheesecake. :) Very attentive service!

We have a little something - wild garlic cream soup as a starter, which tasted very good. The selection of cakes is very extensive and the friendliness of the service staff is very pleasant.

The ice cream should not be delivered late

Beautifully decorated, very extensive and creative menu, the dishes are very plentiful and really tasty, lots of vegan options. The service is very friendly, quick and accommodating. We strongly recommend this café and restaurant and will definitely come back.

Absolutely recommended! The cakes are incredibly tasty and the espresso and other coffee specialties are really good. Particularly noteworthy is the very friendly service, which makes the stay even more pleasant. The price-performance ratio is also good — I would love to come back!

The only thing that's really nice is the room with the counter. Staff very friendly, but overwhelmed with the number of guests. Cappuccino came lukewarm. Quality and price don't match.

We were there on a Sunday without a reservation. There wasn't a table for us right away, but we were allowed to wait at a reserved one until a table became available. The food was very tasty and the service was very, very nice. When we are in the area again we will definitely go there again.

We had dinner at Wittekind. The service was very nice, the food was absolutely great, but unfortunately the Caesar salad was nothing! Atmosphere dark but cozy. All in all very expensive, but definitely worth it

We visited the Wittekind bakery with my wife and were well received by professional and very friendly service. The prices are reasonable, but unfortunately the pastries did not live up to our expectations. The macaron, for example, was dry and so hard that we couldn't finish it, although the pistachio ganache was delicious. We tried other pastries, but none of them appealed to us: it lacked that gourmet and generous side that we expect in this type of sweet treat. It's a shame, because the service was pleasant, but in the end, we don't think we'll come back.

Great selection of cakes and other food. The winter special drinks are also delicious. It's my favorite cafe. The location is fantastic, and in the summer, there's no better place to relax and enjoy a drink 😊☀️

Das Lokal sehr sehr gut von außen und innen aus, die Bedienung war sehr freundlich, aber das Essen und die Preise entsprachen in keinster Weise den Ansprüchen. Schlechte Qualität und viel zu hohe Kosten. Kalbsschnitzel sah aus als käme es aus der Friteuse, war hart und lediglich ein Schnitzel, die zugehörigen Pommes sahen aus wie Süßkartoffel waren dunkelbraun , wären aber handgeschnitten mit Schale, das Ganze für 36 €, eine Katastrophe. Spaghetti al oilio für 17 €, serviert in einer kleinen Schüssel, was noch nicht einmal ein Kind gesättigt hätte. Die völlig überzogenen Kosten mögen daher rühren, dass sich das Restaurant im Umbau befand und die Kosten wohl auf die Gäste übertragen wurden. Sehr ansprechend sah die Kuchenauswahl aus, leider ungeeignet für ein Abendessen.

Super nice and very friendly staff Always happy to come back

Super delicious espresso and cake. Service is very friendly. We can only recommend it 😊

A very nice cafe/restaurant! Helpful and very nice employees! The food and cake selection is very good and tastes good.

We were only in the little shop to get bread etc. We arrived at 5:30 p.m. and it was “actually” already closed, but the nice saleswoman was happy to open the door again. She was extremely friendly and explained all the products to us in a calm manner. Great service. And everything we bought was incredibly delicious, from bread to spreads and even cakes.

A beautiful old-style coffee house, with very friendly service and a great selection of homemade, super-fresh and delicious cakes and perfectly made coffee creations. Thanks for the lovely afternoon.

Pretty shop and creative drinks

We stopped here for lunch on this gray Wednesday. Were warmly welcomed and served. Had a good sandwich and drinks. Everything was fine. However, the fries were homemade with the skin on. We will be happy to come back!

A little more expensive, but very comfortable. The employees were very friendly and helpful

Friendly service, Delicious cake

The cake recommended by the waiter was fantastic (Buchweizen Frischkäse), and the drinks were also delicious. On top of that the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Very good atmosphere, great service and delicious cakes. The espresso was also amazing.

My local pub, you have to like the crowd, otherwise perfect

Nice cafe with very tasty cakes. The service on site was good, despite all the seats being occupied. We were able to order quickly and everything was served quickly. The only thing that was a little difficult was making a reservation in advance because we were a larger group.

Very pleasant café with great cakes, but also wonderful savory alternatives.

Nettes Cafehaus Ambiente. Gute Kuchenauswahl. Zügiger Service

Just sit together like that or with the family in a nice atmosphere and enjoy it together

Basically a nice restaurant with a nice ambience, the seating urgently needs to be changed. The sofa and bench are dirty and terribly worn out. Food was ok, unfortunately far too little for our men. What is absolutely not right is the prices are above average and simply not enough. Also not okay, at 12 euros for a glass of wine there should be 0.2l in the glass and no less. UPDATE on the owner's comment: What I will never understand is that the operator is incapable of criticism. The upholstery definitely needs to be replaced, especially if dirt can no longer be removed, as a guest this is unacceptable at these prices. And the calibration mark on the wine glasses is at 0.2l POINT. It was nice that the operator sat at our table and knew how much wine was in the glass. So please accept criticism and not discuss it!

Prinzipiell ein schönes Lokal mit schönem Ambiente, es sollte mal dringend die Bestuhlung geändert werden. Sofa und Sitzbank sind dreckig und furchtbar durch gesessen. Essen war ok leider für unsere Männer viel zu wenig. Was absolut nicht passt sind die Preise überdurchschnittlich teuer und dafür einfach zu wenig. Auch nicht in Ordnung, bei 12 Euro für ein Glas Wein sollten auch bitte 0,21 im Glas sein und nicht weniger. JPDATE zum Kommentar des Besitzers: Was ich nie verstehen werde ist das der Betreiber nicht kritikfähig ist. Die Polster müssten definitiv erneuert werden, gerade wenn Schmutz nicht mehr entfernt werden kann, als Gast ist das bei diesen Preisen nicht hinnehmbar. Und die Eichmarkierung auf den Weingläser ist bei 0.21 PUNKT. Schön das der Betreiber mit an unserem Tisch saß und weiß wieviel Wein im Glas war. Also bitte mal Kritik annehmen nicht diskutieren

Das Essen ist sehr zu empfehlen. Der Preis lohnt sich wirklich sehr, wenn man sieht wie lecker das Essen ist.

Thank you for the professional and very friendly service. We felt very comfortable as a group. Thanks for the very good wine advice. The atmosphere was very inviting. The initial problem with the table reservation not being able to be found was quickly solved. I'd love to come back.

We went to the Wittekind coffee house because we wanted to invite guests there in the new year and wanted to try out what it was like beforehand. First of all noted; The food was excellent and really worth the high price. The two of us had reserved a table, were there 5 minutes early and were promptly asked to go outside again to wait; which was very uncomfortable at -1°C. Back inside, we sat at the front of the entrance and observed with some surprise how unclear it was about who greeted the newly arrived guests; this constantly caused unnecessary confusion. Personally, I prefer it if the service staff corresponds to the price level of the menu; is dressed uniformly and neatly and does not wear jeans and sneakers. Above all, the service should be polite, courteous and well organized and it wasn't. According to the artist, the art on display is about “making the invisible visible.” We think it could have remained hidden.

Ambience and service great. Prices too high e.g. for one piece. Industrial cows/cake

Trotz Vorbestellung war kein Tisch frei. Es wurde Platz geschaffen, leider direkt an der Tür, so dass wir die ganze Zeit neben wartenden Gästen saßen. Das Essen ist gut, der Service dauert auch bei Getränke sehr lange. Ich würde wieder hingehen, aber noch stärker auf einen Sitzplatz nicht im vorderen Bereich achten.

It's always nice and every visit is worth it. We can only recommend the café.

Es war ein wunderbarer Nachmittag und Abend. Mehr muss nicht gesagt werden.

Sehr schöne Athmosphäre, gutes Essen, besondere Auswahl, freundlicher Service

If the food isn't cheap, it should be good. It was very good…

Vielen Dank für den angenehmen Nachmittag und das wirklich gute Kaffee- und Kuchenangebot.

Danke für das tolle Mittagessen und ein super Service wie immer.

Very nice service in a quiet, cozy atmosphere. The tunnel there is highly recommended.

It was my first time here and I found it very nice: furnishings, attention (also for my dog), delicious iced coffee, lime cheesecake, very friendly service, good advice on sparkling wine. Prices a bit high, but so much staff has to be paid, So everything is in the green

We ate there today and it tasted really great and delicious. However, several points deducted for the service. You will be thrown out and forced to pay when it gets close to closing time (30 minutes) beforehand! In addition, you receive poor service. Cutlery is passed across the table and is unfriendly. Really bad service for this high restaurant location!

Gutes Essen,besondere Achtsamkeit betreffend guter Zutaten ,guter Service und angenehme Stimmung!

Wir waren zum Abendessen hier. Es gab eine interessante Zusammenstellung der Gerichte (karamellisierte Pilze zum Carpaccio). Wir hatten uns für eine Bowl, für Sülze, für ein Sandwich und besagtes Carpaccio entschieden. Gerichte hatten eine angemessene Portionsgröße und waren lecker. Die Atmosphäre ist sehr angenehm, gemütlich. Die Bedienung war sehr zuvorkommend, freundlich und schnell. Ein dickes Lob. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Man kann in einem sehr stilvollen Café-Haus- Ambiente vorwiegend auf den typischen Bugholzstühlen sitzen und wird überaus freundlich bedient. Das Essen ist sehr geschmackvoll und das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis eher im höheren Segment. Das Lammschnitzel für 36 Euro ist schmackhaft, wobei die Qualität des Fleisches nicht an die Höhe des Preises herankommt. Sowohl der gereichte Salat als auch die Kürbissuppe sind sehr gut.

Unfortunately we didn't like it at all - we won't be coming back again.

Das war leider echt nicht gut. Der Service war überfordert, die Kuchen in Summe dem hohen Preisniveau nicht angemessen

A 750g loaf of bread for €6.90 is a very steep price. If you find out at home that the bread weighs 150g less, that's pretty cheeky on the part of the bakery.

Very large cafe for many guests, which is a bit annoying. The service is very good. The coffee and cake selection is good, but the prices are through the roof.

Went here with a reservation before going to the theater early on Saturday evening. We were inspired by the tempting image shots for the café on the website in order to have a high-quality gastronomic experience there. The prices on the menu also allow for these expectations. Well - I'll keep it short: the café's external appearance and internet advertising are more appearance than reality. You come straight into the dining room via the terrace entrance, where you sit on a presentation plate so to speak and have very little of a coffee house atmosphere. It is also unpleasant for arriving guests to immediately look at the plates of the guests present. It is very loud in all rooms. Our place was in the back area. This one was a little nicer with the very closely lined up 2-seater tables on one side and the slightly cozier looking larger tables on the other side. The service was nice and friendly, the food came promptly and was of good quality - but here too: less contemporary, upscale writing on the menu for the ultimately normal products on offer would be closer to what is served to the guests. It is NOT a gourmet temple, even if one would like to give the impression and the very high price level suggests this. Occasionally you could visit the café again, but there are also other good alternatives in the city with solid and honest offers.

Excellent in every way! Great location, delicious pasta and a remarkable selection of cakes. The service was extremely friendly. Apparently very popular - rightly so - a reservation is recommended!

Wir haben sehr gut gegessen. Toller Service. Vielen Dank für den guten Abend.

Very satisfied with the food and drinks?

Very courteous staff and a pleasant atmosphere in the restaurant. Thank you for this culinary experience.

Wir verbrachten eine sehr angenehme Kaffeezeit mit leckerem Kuchen und schmackhaften Getränken. Vielen Dank!

Vielen lieben Dank ,für dieses Genussvolle leckere zubereitete Frühstück.😋

Sehr gutes Angebot und Qualität, charmanter Service

the staff seemed overworked to me.

We are visiting this place quite often and usually go for Cremant, coffee & cakes. The staff is superb friendly, and the food and drinks are always awesome. We love to sit outside on the terrace. Payment by card is possible, and the restrooms are clean. We park our bicycles right in front of the terrace on the other side of the road. Folks are children and dog friendly. Online reservation possible via their web page or open table all. Thank you and see you soon.

Wir waren jetzt mehrmals im Kaffeehaus Wittekind und waren wieder sehr zufrieden. Die Möglichkeit einen Tisch online zu reservieren finde ich toll. Auch kann man mit Karte bezahlen. Die Angebot an Kuchen und Getränken ist toll, jeder findet was. Weiter so!

Quite expensive, but nice service and nice amz

Restaurant had a very cozy atmosphere and nice, attentive service. We'd love to come back ☺️. The food was extremely delicious.

Das Ambiente stimmt. Der Service ist gut 👍 und der Kuchen sehr lecker 😋.

Good food good cake friendly staff

Very tasty ice cream in a wonderful atmosphere. Glad you exist!

We came here on a Sunday morning with a reservation and sat outside. We were served quickly and never had to wait long. The employees were very attentive and super friendly. Everything tasted incredibly delicious, from the freshly squeezed orange juice to the pancakes to the bread and rolls. Our table was a little too small for the whole meal. We would also have liked to snack on the large, attractive-looking selection of cakes, but unfortunately we were already too full for that.

Yes. We had it particularly good. We arrived late and were almost alone with the delicious food and the fine retro atmosphere.

Very sweet coffee with an idyllic terrace and delicious cakes

sehr schöner Außenbereich, guter Service und Speisekarte :)

We were there for breakfast. Great selection, whether sweet or savory, there is something for everyone. Portion is very large, you don't need lunch afterwards. :D Service very friendly and quick.

The iced coffee was far too bland, tasted like cold filter coffee, and is definitely not worth the price. The cakes were very good.

You can now choose the tip amount yourself on the card reader, even if you only get the goods packed to take away.

We were admitted through the street entrance with my 95-year-old mother, who was in a wheelchair because she had difficulty walking, although we arrived a little earlier than ordered. The food was very good, we really liked the atmosphere as well as the service. This one was absolutely excellent. Even if the price is a bit high there, we will eat there again and can only recommend the restaurant.

Always happy to have top service, top cake, top location.

We had pre-ordered breakfast for several people. The reservation went smoothly. The selection is very extensive and there is something delicious for everyone. Two days before we were contacted again to ask whether the reservation would remain the same. I thought it was great. We were greeted very friendly on Sunday morning. The breakfast we had selected in advance was prepared and served to us immediately. I have to tell you, that was awesome. The presentation, a feast for the eyes. Everything was very, very tasty. The fish is super fresh and delicious. The cheese selection is also great. The eggs were perfect. The salads are very fresh and crunchy. The selection of rolls was great and the bread was super delicious. The orange juice is freshly squeezed. Everything your heart and palate desires. I can tell you that you have to try it. Big bee to all employees. Conclusion for us, it was the first time but definitely not the last time for us.

I sat on the terrace and had friendly service, but the price and performance didn't match as it was overpriced for average service

Very pleasant, lovingly furnished restaurant/café. Waiters and waitresses are absolutely attentive, always willing to listen to special requests. Very upscale cuisine in terms of price, but the food is absolutely TOP. Still recommended.
