Kaphörnchen und Eishörnchen am Stadthafen in Schleswig

Truly great food! Thank you for the wonderful service. We were fans.

I used to really enjoy coming here – for a long time, I appreciated the food and was happy to recommend the place. But my last visit, unfortunately, completely changed my mind. I recently ordered a burrito and discovered that they're now charging extra for absolutely every little thing. Even sauce and fries are now an additional charge. Honestly, where is this going? Of course, I understand that everything has gotten more expensive. But if I end up paying the same amount for an average meal as I would for a full plate at a Greek restaurant for €25, then the value for money is simply no longer there. And I'm obviously not the only one who feels this way – many others feel the same way. What particularly disappoints me: You used to feel welcome here. Now, I feel more like you, as a guest, have become a mere source of income. What a shame! Because the food was never the problem in terms of taste – it's the lack of fairness. My suggestion: Try to make less money from extras and focus more on satisfied regular customers. I'd be happy to come back if, as a guest, I didn't feel like I had to pay extra for every sauce.

Very tasty Mexican food. The beef enchilada is amazing. Also a beautiful view of the harbor and cathedral.

The way they helped me was very kind. We'll definitely be back. 3.9. It's a shame that so many staff members are already in a whirl when only half the café is full. My joy of my waffle was cut short because the waiter who had ordered after me got theirs before me. The waffle was probably already burnt, so hopefully the money was refunded to my card. I'll check. My husband's latte and cake were good.

Very delicious ice cream and very friendly service. In one week in Schleswig-Holstein and one week in Denmark, this was the best ice cream I've had. And at €2 per scoop, the price isn't outrageous, unlike all the other ice cream parlors.

Top-notch location, Delicious homemade ice cream. It's worth it.

I can only speak about the ice cream, and it's wonderful. A large portion and very tasty 😋

The ice cream was super delicious, we didn't eat anything, but there was a very appealing menu (also for vegetarians)

Total disaster, are not able to serve an order with 2x waffles including ice cream and coffee

The strawberry and raspberry ice creams are as tart as they should be. The taste is excellent. They use plenty of fruit. The large cappuccino with organic milk, for a whopping €4.50, tastes good, and doesn't automatically come with cocoa powder. At €10.50, the strawberry cup is pure extortion. The strawberries were very fresh. Unfortunately, the bad habit of sprinkling cheap chocolate sprinkles on the strawberry cup without asking led to a new one. The service, however, was unbeatably charming and downright caring. The only ice cream parlor in Schleswig that offers caffeine-free cappuccino. The location by the harbor is relaxing. Unfortunately, they use genetically modified cocoa, so I couldn't eat any products containing cocoa. Then the scoop would cost €3, but I would even buy three of them.

Two adults, two children. We first chose drinks, then went inside at 7:59 PM, and our order was taken at 8:00 PM. The kitchen was closed. There's no more food. It's really awful to be sitting there with kids and drinks. We're going somewhere else now.

Very tasty and quick, even though it was relatively busy. Unfortunately, it was self-service only. We really enjoyed the food.

Not exactly cheap but very tasty ice cream 👌

Extremely competent and friendly staff. Beautiful location; I'd love to come back here again and again!

Simple self-service restaurant. Vegetarian and vegan options are recommended – the non-vegan options were mediocre and unfortunately a bit small for the price. Very nice location by the harbor – helpful bar staff…but they have delicious ice cream 😋👌

Fresh and delicious food. Friendly staff. Great waterfront location.

I love the delicious ice cream. The unusual ice cream flavors are great. The staff is very friendly.

Great place to eat great ice cream. The best thing is that the ice cream is homemade, of course. It was super delicious. I'd love to go back.

A very tasty breakfast, something different if you like beans! The coffee could have been a bit stronger for me, but everyone has different tastes. The view of the marina is fantastic; there's always something to see!

Update after some time: NO LONGER worth 5 stars! I'm suddenly supposed to pay the same price without rice as always, but I have to pay an extra €5 to get extra rice!! Absolutely not, sorry. I won't be coming back. We ate here with our children. The first positive thing was, of course, the super delicious food!! We adults loved it incredibly much. Unfortunately, my children found their kids' burrito too spicy (it was actually spicier than my husband's), which is a negative point. Thankfully, there were delicious waffles, though, which were still enough to fill their stomachs. As a parent, I would have liked a little kids' corner, but the space just doesn't allow for that. On the plus side, there's a great view of the Schlei, and the staff are very child-friendly and friendly! Since the space is a bit small and the crowds are very busy, you had to fight for seats, and the noise was sometimes a bit tiring, but I'm not deducting a star for that, because I think it's very difficult to find a good location in Schleswig. All in all, we would love to come back in the future ☺️

Very good and delicious selection of food and drinks. Cozy atmosphere. Very friendly staff.

Café and restaurant with self-service ice cream, cakes, and Mexican dishes. The Kaphörnchen is particularly popular for ice cream. I really like the hot food and have had an excellent soup of the day several times, which was truly delicious. Vegetarians will also find something to their liking here. I wish the tables were cleaner, so it loses points for the ambiance.

The hearty food wasn't really that good for the high price. The waffles and bowls were good, though. Self-service was annoying. The restroom was clean. Nice view.

The location by the harbor is great. The food was mediocre. My enchiladas with meat and the cheese nachos were rather bland and disappointing. My wife's burrito bowl, on the other hand, was quite good – fresh and well-seasoned. The prices are quite high overall. The highlight for us was the ice cream – the rice pudding ice cream was particularly delicious!

Super delicious! Friendly staff! Great location! It doesn't get any better than this!

We didn't eat anything, just had a drink. The service was friendly, but self-service at the tables

We really enjoyed it, we sat at the harbor and ate well 👍

Super fresh and delicious food. Highly recommended!

Today we had a nut cup for €9.50 without a single nut! There was just half a tablespoon of praline sprinkled on top of the cream. I find that a disgrace. Even though the ice cream itself was tasty, I expect nuts in a nut cup.

Tastes very delicious there...the food and 🍨

The two of us enjoyed delicious food and very friendly service. The time flew by...unfortunately...far too quickly. We felt very comfortable and we like the ambiance. This won't be the last time we're here :)

The ice cream at Eishörner has always been a dream; the scoops are generously portioned, and the selection of specials is very good. I've now also tried the Mexican restaurant inside and can recommend it as well. The service is super friendly; you go to the counter to order, and you don't have to wait too long for your food. However, I found it a bit expensive; I also have the feeling that all Mexican restaurants are a bit pricey.

It's gotten incredibly expensive. 33 euros for a burger with fries and a small Coke? That's unjustifiable. The prices have gone up so much. Unfortunately, we won't be coming back. Addendum to the reply: The way you describe it is absolutely not correct. When the burger was included in the total price, including dips, which are now all extra, it's 33 euros!! Before, the burger, including dips and fries, was 16.90 euros, or 17.90 euros? Since you now have to pay extra for everything, it's MUCH more expensive than before. And I can definitely do the math. Guacamole costs 4 euros. That was included before. That means if I order the meal exactly as before, it's much more expensive. Then stand by your increase and don't act like your customers are too stupid to do the math!!

I ordered a burger. It came with a poor bun and nothing on it. Almost no meat. Lukewarm. Warm cheese. €14. Side order costs extra. Didn't convince me. Snack bar in a good location. At these prices, you have to order at the counter yourself and then clean up after your meal. Too bad

Simply brilliant!! Delicious food, great prices, great staff, and a wonderful atmosphere!!! Greetings to my 'old hometown' 😉

ICE CREAM SCONES: How disappointing! This soft serve ice cream is beyond worthy. A slightly yellowish, strange mass. Tastes like pure chemistry. INEDIBLE. The only option was to throw it away.

What's a special treat at other ice cream parlors is a given here: You can create your own ice cream flavors for your chosen fruit cup. There are many delicious ice cream flavors with imaginative names. You're sitting right on Schleswig's harbor promenade, and the view is just as beautiful.

I haven't experienced such friendly and attentive service in many restaurants. The food was amazing, the coffee delicious, and the ice cream was a dream. My order was brought to the table in no time 💛 Thank you 🤩 🧑‍🦽

Self-service, food is served at the table, Mexican

This cozy ice cream parlor is wonderful. The service is absolutely friendly and the ice cream is simply heavenly. I highly recommend it.

A fantastic restaurant. The food was delicious and the staff was super nice and friendly.

My wife suggested the Cape chicken – to be honest, I was a bit skeptical at first, as I'd imagined it to be more of a simple snack bar by the water. But I was definitely proven wrong! The food was truly outstanding, both visually and tastefully. This more than makes up for having to clear your own dishes. What struck me as particularly positive was that the young team working there does a really great job. Whether at the counter, at the ice cream counter, inside, or outside – there's true teamwork. Communication was brief, efficient, and everyone knew what to do. No one just stood around; instead, everyone worked attentively and proactively. If a full crockery bin was somewhere or napkins were running low, it was immediately noticed and dealt with. Many other restaurants could learn a thing or two from this. It's truly impressive how dedicated and professional young people run a restaurant like this – huge compliments to the entire team!

The new prices are outrageous and absolutely don't do the food justice! What a shame...

Nice location by the harbor, but unfortunately, the ordering process was completely disorganized – my husband waited in line for at least 10 minutes to order drinks and snacks. Then it took forever for a few snacks to arrive. The service was very friendly, and everything inside is beautifully decorated. We would have liked to order more, but the line just kept getting longer...

We had a drink there. You can sit outside and enjoy the sun and water. The people are really nice. Highly recommended.

The ice cream was delicious, but there were a lot of flavors that didn't immediately give you a hint of what they would taste like. And when there are 20 people standing behind you, you can't really spend much time trying and considering. But whatever, thanks for having people who work when I have time off!👍

Mexican food is very special. The dishes used to be much better and more varied. Today you can choose what you want, everything tastes similar, only the "shell" is different... quesadilla, fajita, burrito etc. Ambience beautiful. There is no better place at the harbor. Unfortunately, prices are constantly being increased disproportionately. Latte macchiato now, instead of €4.50, €5.10 will soon be a luxury. 0.33 Cola now costs €4.50. Ice cream at €2 a scoop, still normal. Who knows whether there won't be an increase in the summer. So if you want to treat yourself, you're in good hands at Kaphörnchen, but if you're passionate about going out for coffee, you'll be poor! 😂

Nice atmosphere and very tasty food. Good location with a cool atmosphere. When full, there is of course a higher noise level. Nice background music.

I've been to Kaphörnchen a few times because the location of the café is very nice and the food is also okay. However, the last few times I've noticed how unfriendly the staff has become. Really rude to customers. Unfortunately it was the last time I ate and drank there. Service, especially good service, is different. Quality management when it comes to dealing with customers is apparently no longer practiced or not practiced at all. Very unfortunate.

A really great location! Great food, relaxed atmosphere, just great

Really iconic store; and it tastes great... cozy, but with a bit of a "snack bar character"... great here!

Top food in a great location right on the harbor.

Nice location, super delicious ice cream. Staff a bit slow. Definitely recommended!

Nice, nice atmosphere, but poor food presentation, both in terms of quality and price! But you can sit here and have a drink. Ice cream is good, but brutally expensive.

Delicious coffee and waffles with kebab but the service was often saved elsewhere. Self-service is everything 😀

Ice cream for €2 a scoop! Completely overpriced. Employees very nice. Was very loud. Overall not recommended.

Waffles were super tasty. The food that was passed by us inspired us to come back again. The toilets were also very clean. We will come back ;)

It's a shame, what happened to the great ice cream that once existed here? Today I got a completely watered down and way too sweet scoop of vanilla ice cream on my waffle. I pushed them aside onto the plate, where an oily liquid remained after defrosting. That was my last ice cream there, sugary palm oil for €2 a scoop, no thanks!

Very good ice cream - and very tasty Mexican food (!), with a great view of the marina and the Schlei!

This place is definitely something fine for connoisseurs of Mexican cuisine, but unfortunately it wasn't suitable for people who just want to eat something quick. There were two of us and we only ordered 2 portions of fries and cheese quesadilla. We waited 45 minutes and the food was lukewarm, almost cold. Overall it was just disappointing.

We went to Kaphörnchen for ice cream again this weekend. The ice cream was delicious as always. There were plenty of staff on site, although they often preferred to stand behind the counter to chat rather than serve waiting customers. What was really not nice was that the ice cream scoops were incredibly small, and for 2 euros... yes, everything is getting more expensive, I'm willing to pay for good ice cream, but the fact that I only get one scoop in a cone for 4 euros, like I used to, is not okay. It also seemed that it wasn't that easy to get the ice cream into the cones with the small ice cream tongs, which I also mentioned, but received a rather annoyed response, saying that was due to the girl's age. However, we will think carefully about whether we want to continue eating ice cream there for the money and the mini size.

Very tasty, we come very often when we are in Schleswig. The food is first class. Unfortunately the restaurant is self-service. But I think this is due to the high volume of people. We'd love to come back!!

After several failed attempts on other days, we wanted to eat ice cream today and once again the ice cream stand was already closed - at 6:20 p.m. Really a shame. In addition, the prices are immensely expensive and you can hardly afford them anymore.

Definitely! Whether it's ice cream, latte macchiato, sweet or savory dishes, there's nothing I don't like at Kaphörnchen!

Right on the water there is enough choice for eating and drinking. Coffee was very good and the view is also very nice. Especially when the weather is nice.

Parking is difficult, location is good. The setup is simple but fine. I ate the most expensive French fries of my life here. They charge 6.90 euros for simple fries and, even better, another 1 euro extra for ketchup, so around 8 euros... absurd. These were by far the most expensive fries of my life. A small cola or something similar is another 4 euros. For me the calculation is outrageous, especially since it also applies to other products there. But ultimately everyone should decide for themselves.

Yes, nice location. Delicious coffee with milk and cake. Friendly staff.

For us as locals, it's always worth a stop and feels like a short vacation. The waffles are a dream, double espresso, what more could you want, plus the dream view over the harbor with the houseboats.

Today is the second time this year because we noticed that the ice cream balls have become very small and that for 2 euros per ball!!! More expensive and smaller!!!

Unfortunately it took forever to get there. Self service, no service. Probably not skilled workers, due to the labor shortage. The girls seemed a bit overwhelmed. Cake was a disaster, bone dry. Cappuccino tasted good. Offer on the menu is sufficient. Because of the beautiful location, I would still like to come back.

Great ambience, great concept, food delicious and worth the price

Great Mexican-inspired cuisine with burgers, buritos and tortillas, also vegetarian

I always loved going to Cape Squirrel. But since the Mexican flair has taken hold here with uncomfortable chairs and a slightly shabby and sometimes unkempt atmosphere, I can no longer recommend it here. It's a shame that a restaurant with such a good location has developed so negatively.

We went there with friends for the first time and were very impressed by the ambience, the nice service and not to forget the good food! 😋 We liked the whole thing so much that we will come back. #Restaurant #Friends #Food #Dinner #Enjoyment

Great location, great food and dogs are allowed. 😊

There were 7 of us and we all enjoyed it.

One of the restaurants in Schleswig, if you have too much money but not enough self-respect, you can definitely eat something here. By the way, the rule of thumb for trustworthiness in catering is that only young women work in the service, which has always been a good idea and is not at all problematic. Kaphörnchen is a symptom of the increasingly tourist-oriented gastronomy in Schleswig; and that's a real shame.

Fundamentally ticklish experience. Truly an emotional roller coaster ride. The location is nice, nice outdoor area and right on the water. However, since the concept change a few years ago, the quality has decreased dramatically. Expensive, "Mexican" food that tickles the taste buds unpleasantly. Nachos, which are identical to those of yes! are at Rewe. All of this for a hell of a price. The service is okay, in general you can tell that the shift/store management puts the employees under extreme stress and probably creates an unpleasant working atmosphere. However, the whole thing is balanced out by the in-house tickling uncle, who gives customers a wonderful experience in the toilet upon request. Correspondingly 3 stars for the service.

Only dish names are Mexican. Burritos were served cold. Chips cooked enough but with lower grade potatoes. Good enough for Schleswig perhaps

It's wonderful here... Only with service it would be even better.

Allow time for service and, if necessary, reserve space in advance

Discovered by chance and found a great location. Mexican cuisine. Great waffles, can be put together variably. Nice staff, friendly and easy to say. Order at the counter, brought to the table.

Always happy to go to Kaphörnchen

All in all, highly recommended, especially in summer.

After the flood last year, the Cape squirrel became very bad. I went for waffles and ice cream with my daughter and there was a hair that was not good. I called one of the workers and told her she started apologizing. It was really disgusting.

Ice cream cones: divine ice cream! A fantastic salty caramel sauce. But the sauce - as delicious as it was - 2 euros for a scoop of ice cream and 2 euros for the sauce. A forewarning is in order. Interesting ice cream flavors!

Great location right on the water, with self-service at the counter, great staff, friendly and honest advice. You should be able to give 10 stars for that alone. Any time

Delicious ice cream, not cheap but special varieties. Since it had rained that day we were allowed to sit in and eat the ice cream. We thought that was good.

Great ice cream. I especially liked the licorice (it's always difficult to dose). Thanks and keep it up.

Very expensive ice cream, mediocre staff and just average quality. The employees are very different and so is the size of the expensive ice cream scoops (2€/scoop) that you get. If you talk to the staff about it (as you are asked to do on a small sign) they will add more and make the next ball even smaller. In addition, there are obviously mostly underage assistants working there, especially when it comes to ice cream, so it sometimes takes a little longer and things behind the counter are quite tumultuous and disorganized. On nice days at prime time, the small ice cream hut is usually so full that you only get an overview of the often changing flavors when it's your turn. A small blackboard in front of the hut would make sense - that's what other ice cream parlors do too. Creative and silly flavor names do not hide the mostly average milk ice cream taste. But only a few older employees are unfriendly. Ice cream sales always stop at 8 p.m., no matter how many people are still waiting in line. The rest of the restaurant service continues, mind you. The ice cream sundaes are also disproportionately expensive (€9-11) for what you get. The Mexican food in the restaurant is okay, as are the waiting times, but nothing special either. But the price is a bit fairer than the ice cream. It's better to drink drinks like an Aperol Spritz elsewhere and just order a beer. The atmosphere at the harbor is usually very nice, especially in summer, so you would like to sit longer if the rest was right. Overall, many missed opportunities due to management that is obviously very profit-oriented and less interested in quality, supplemented by mismanagement that is incomprehensible from different perspectives.

We were there and paid €5 for a waffle with no decoration, i.e. no ice cream, no strawberries, no cream, just waffles with powdered sugar! And it was a small waffle. That's pretty cheeky. When I asked why it cost €5 they just kept going! Fries were OK.

Nicely located on the Schlei, I just don't understand the concept! Order coffee at the counter and an ice cream with it, no answer! First of all, wait in line outside for at least a quarter of an hour for an ice cream and then wait in line at the counter in the store to get a coffee or something similar? So you have to decide on one thing if you don't want to spend your time there just waiting. Or you can forego the view and go to an ice cream parlor nearby. It's a shame that the answer was so short, I was with you yesterday and asked if I could order coffee and ice cream together and this was rejected. At the time, around 20 young people were queuing outside to order ice cream. Your ice cream is delicious, but not at any price, such long waiting times are “bad” for a stopover with a motorbike. The owner's response has now reduced the rating from 3 to 1 star....

Very nice restaurant and delicious food! Guacamole was exceptionally good, everything seemed very homemade. With very clean toilets.

unbelievable...I've already experienced a lot...10€ for 2 bottled beers... That doesn't make up for the view either

7:47 p.m. -Sunday, in the middle of peak season. As a line of customers wait, one flavor of ice cream is taken from the counter, smoothed and taken away. All we had left was soft ice cream, which unfortunately tasted slightly sour and not at all creamy. I felt sorry for 4€ afterwards.

Outrageous prices. Ice latte for €8. Stressed employees.

We took an ice cream sundae and a small ice latte and had to pay 17.50 euros, unfortunately it was way too expensive and we won't be going there again.

There are several flavors of ice cream. We were here three times and tried a few different varieties. Yoghurt/pomegranate: Yes, you could taste yoghurt but there was no trace of pomegranate (I guess it was a strawberry/cherry syrup). Cassis: I didn't even taste a hint of cassis. "Addiction": just incredibly sticky and sweet. Really a shame! And the service is very, very slow...

Unfortunately I had a very unpleasant experience with an older employee. A child doesn't get 30 seconds to choose a variety. We were alone at the ice cream counter, and a couple behind us came up to the counter to get ice cream too, but the rude comment "Now do it, other people want ice cream too" while I was reading out the flavors was absolutely inappropriate in this situation -in contrast to ice cream- tasteless.

It's very nice at the harbor. Luckily it wasn't too crowded. We had a very tasty breakfast there. The service was good 👍 and helpful, we would be happy to come back
