MA Essen in Essen

I really enjoy going to the MA. The menu is unusual and very funny. The portions are really good and nicely presented. Everything is really tasty The service is attentive. The only shame is that there is often no soap or towels in the toilets.

After discovering the city, we stopped here at MA Essen. The food was freshly prepared, but the pizzas could have had more toppings. The service was very attentive and friendly. The ambience gave you a very special flair, where there was always something new to discover in every corner. The prices are reasonable. We'd love to come back!

Very friendly staff. The toilet is not barrier-free. But I was helped. I would be accompanied to the neighboring restaurant and allowed to use the toilet. Thank you for that.

We spontaneously decided to visit because we were in town anyway and somehow felt like an uncomplicated meal out. As soon as we had decided, we walked through the door and were immediately greeted in a friendly manner. We had a free choice of seats, we'll take the main prize. The atmosphere is great, a really nice ambience, not too loud, even though it was well attended, comfortably lit and details wherever you look without being overwhelmed. The map is not only beautifully illustrated and has a few smiles hidden, but also impresses with a super interesting selection. There is something for everyone here. A super friendly service always accompanied us throughout the evening at the right time. An incredibly delicious, down-to-earth meal, rounded off by a sweet, warm temptation gave us a really nice evening. The bill felt very low, but the tip was higher. This is certainly how Einstein imagined it with his theory. Thank you for the lovely stay! We have already pleaded guilty to the waitress to visit you again 😊

We were here spontaneously on Sunday evening and easily found space for three people. The menu for hot dishes, snacks and desserts is huge - there is something for everyone here. The blueberry cheesecake cream was quite good, but a little too sweet, and the blueberry sauce unfortunately tasted artificial. The chocolate cloud (chocolate cake with a liquid center) was also very sweet. The chocolate dippers were quite tasty, but overall the desserts reminded me more of fast food treats than of fine desserts to enjoy. Perhaps the savory dishes are more convincing. The service was very friendly and the atmosphere was cozy and informal – ideal for a relaxed evening.

Some waitresses behave disrespectfully. They should first learn respect and how to treat customers properly before working in this profession. Honestly, that's really rude! We always go to Extra Blatt, but unfortunately it is closed due to construction. So this is the last time in this cafe and I won't recommend it.

Great shop, finally something new on the breakfast market. Honest sandwiches and potato pancakes for breakfast. Nice service and the food was delicious. Price performance completely ok.

I was in Essen too early today and still had time to have breakfast! I ended up in the MA after a Google search and have no regrets!!! I only had a cappuccino and a scrambled egg with two slices of brown bread. But it was very tasty, arrived at the table extremely quickly and the service was ultra-friendly and absolutely accommodating! Gladly again when I'm in Essen again in the morning. 🤩🤩🤩 I took a photo of the entire map because I couldn't find it in its entirety here. Everyone should be able to find something like this. 😃

The food is very tasty, but the bowls and salads are unfortunately very small for the high price.

The most beautiful restaurant in the Kennedyplatz area and the staff is absolutely top. But the food is a bit too expensive for the quality offered.

Nice bistro right on Kennedy Platz with outdoor seating. Sufficient selection of snacks and drinks. Friendly staff including the toilet attendant. Special promotions such as cake deals.

We have now been to the MA twice with the girls. The staff is super nice and the food is also very tasty! Thank you 😊 The mulled wine with Amaretto is highly recommended! 🧉

Cool shop, cool menu, very good food and drinks! Only recommended!

Got stale beer You think you don't stand out. Another person who thinks he can do everything

Totally tastefully decorated and very comfortable

Food in food. Three “yes” for “ma”. Food service, ambience. Top. Tip: tomato soup. Excellent. Drinks too. Friends' food: Also TOP

I love ending the day in this cozy cafe. The pizzas are super good!!! Nice staff, everything was great!

Nice and we received great help, will definitely come again

Awesome breakfast buffet, super tasty options. Would recommend and come again.

Fantastic food and fantastic staff. Since I don't really live close by, I rarely come by, but when the opportunity arises, I always like to come here. The food is super delicious and the staff is simply awesome. My biggest compliments go to them. I highly recommend stopping by there and treating yourself to a little break. 💕

Great cappuccino with oat milk that is even served with a vegan cookie. Several vegan breakfast options. Super friendly staff and quick service, nice ambiance

A nice location, the staff is very attentive, and the prices are reasonable

My latte with biscuit was delicious ☕😊 ... The food on the other tables looked very appealing. Costs coming soon👍🏼

Toller Laden, durchdesigned bis ins Detail, alles sauber, Personal supernett, Ambiente gemütlich, dauernd findet das Auge wieder was zu entdecken. Wir hatten mit 20 Leuten reserviert und alles kam gleichzeitig, heiß und wirklich lecker. Ich hatte das Kalbsschnitzel mit Champignons und Fritten, Hammer! Hier gibt es wirklich gar nichts zu meckern, geht da hin! :D

Service was great, food was tasty (it's a shame I didn't took a picture of the food)... You shoul visit it

Super friendly, good atmosphere and really delicious food

Very stylish atmosphere and very nice staff.

Super great atmosphere, the breakfast buffet was tasty and sufficient

We sat outside and just had something to drink. Map looks interesting, we might come back.

I always enjoy going there. No rating for the food as we didn't eat anything.

One of my absolute favorite places! The service is extremely nice and the menu offers creative dishes in all directions. (I just can't recommend the bowls, pizzas, burgers and baked potatoes are great)

Absolute enthusiasm! Breakfast buffet - ideal! Only recommended! Fresh, tasty, plenty, clean, service lightning fast! In the evening we also tried espresso martini, best espresso martini in my life. Thumbs up!

Was briefly in transit. Service was attentive and very nice. Food was really tasty Price performance is okay 👍☺️

A wonderful atmosphere with very tasty food and first-class service. Excellent.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to enjoy and appreciate the food because my order was forgotten and I had to go home hungry. The hot chocolate was good, I would happily recommend it.

Nice restaurant with attentive staff. It's just that the prices have risen quite a bit.

A cola and a beer. Beer mix mix

I had a Caesars chicken salad. The salad mixture visibly came straight from the bag to the plate, and no one had even bothered to take apart the leaves of the iceberg lettuce pieces. The cut edges of the iceberg lettuce were already pink, which is a clear indication of a lack of freshness and shows that bacteria are already living here. My complaint was not taken seriously in any way, but was dismissed as an empty phrase and certainly not passed on to the kitchen, as promised. This was clearly visible from where I was sitting and taking a complaint seriously from a restaurant is a different story. The fact that I didn't tolerate the salad well from a health perspective confirms my visual impressions. Today was the last time I was there, as it wasn't the time that I experienced that no attention was paid to freshness. It's a shame, because otherwise the restaurant is very charming.

Ich hatte Caesars Chicken bestellt. Der Salat kam erkennbar aus einer Tüte mit Fertigschnitt und man hatte sich leider nicht die Mühe gemacht, die großen Stücke Eisbergsalat in Blätter zu trennen und auf ihre Frische zu achten. Es gab viele rosa verfärbte Schnittstellen, an denen sich Bakterien aufhalten können, die ungesunde Auswirkungen auf den Essenden haben. Mein Hinweis auf fehlende Frische wurde - anders als von der Bedienung annonciert - leider nicht an die Küche weitergeben, denn ich hatte von meinem Platz aus einem Blick auf die Durchreiche der Küche zum Gastraum und konnte das Gespräch sehen. Die Bedienung räumte später meinen Teller mit den nicht genießbaren Salatstücken ab und warf diese sofort in den Mülleimer am Eingang zur Küche - also ohne den Kochenden zu zeigen, was man Gästen nicht servieren darf. Dass der Salat nicht frisch war, konnte ich deutlich nach dem Essen merken, denn es ging mir danach nicht besonders gut. Meine Beschwerde wurde also weder ernst genommen, noch sah man sich dazu veranlasst, den eigenen Fehler irgendwie erkennbar gut zu machen. Ich werde dieses Lokal, das mir nun zum schon zweiten Mal Lebensmittel serviert hat, die sichtbar nicht mehr frisch sind, nicht mehr aufsuchen.

We traveled to the gospel event in Koblenz last weekend and ate at MA several times because we really liked the ambience and the dishes. A very fancy restaurant; probably unique. I will recommend the MA.

Good breakfast and delicious coffee specialties

Very bizarrely decorated. Pleasant atmosphere. Nice staff.

The food was good and the staff very friendly

I've been to the MA a few times now and I'm always thrilled with the store. I really like the atmosphere there. The staff is super nice and very attentive. The food and drinks are really delicious and the price is right too. I always enjoy coming to the MA!

A beautiful restaurant. From the outside and even more so, from the inside. There is so much to see 🥰🥰🥰

Very tasty food at reasonable prices, staff is very nice, blankets are also provided outside. The pizza rolls are special, they are very tasty

The food was very tasty and I would definitely recommend it. Together with my daughter we went to Essen for breakfast and we really liked the ambience. Service was also very good with a warm smile

Nice café with a nice atmosphere and with blankets on the chairs outside

Good, honest, tasty food. Breakfast buffet on weekends is definitely recommended! Breakfast items can be ordered during the week. Dinner, pizzas etc. are also of good quality. Employees very friendly and enthusiastic, nice casual atmosphere, price/quality is excellent. Thank you!

Very friendly service but unfortunately the quality of the food (cheese burger and chicken popcorn) was not good. The location and design of the store is great.

Lately this has been my favorite place to meet up with friends. The atmosphere here is good, the decor is stylish and it's easy to get here by public transport.

Open continuously... pleasant indeed when you are hungry in the middle of the day. Recent address, large, with charming spots to relax and chill. A well-filled card but not very practical with all these sheets. Newspaper format would be preferable. We will definitely come back to discover the rest and the dessert menu

Very great restaurant - went there twice for breakfast. Lots of choice, delicious dishes and drinks and super nice staff! Particularly nice -> the ambience!

Was there for the first time today. I ordered a salad. The salad was really fresh and lovingly prepared. The service was very polite and nice. It was also very clean to sit outside.

Everything was great, good food, good drinks, cool service.

Super charming restaurant, great and friendly service, good food and drink. And above all, a really nice atmosphere. 👍🏼 Recommendation!

The best breakfast buffet with vegan options I've ever eaten. Various spreads and even cold cuts. The only other thing I know is that as a vegan you only get jam. I was very happy that things are different here. And the bread tastes incredibly good! Really fluffy and delicious :) I will now always have breakfast here when I visit Essen

breakfast buffet normal breakfast is sufficient Salad/bowl bar very tasty

We were there for breakfast. It was OK. But nothing more. The cake stand with fruit could have been decorated in a more visually appealing way. The service also left a lot to be desired.

It was really nicely decorated, the staff was nice and it was super tasty! Some of the food/drinks may have been a bit expensive but the quality was top :)

We had to wait 40 minutes for our pizza rolls, but they were delicious. Service was quite slow. Central and authentic location - typically close to the train station with a corresponding clientele

Great place, with delicious food and caring staff. I recommend this place to visit.

Overall good experience. Friendly staff, good location, and the food was tasty and nice. We had ceasar salad and a Mexican bowl.

I had dinner there with my employees this evening. I eat everything and he is vegan, and yes we both found something great. Pizza rolls are highly recommended, they are simply absolutely delicious. Service employee: super nice, friendly, very present, haven't experienced such a great dinner in a long time Food: highly recommended, everything was absolutely delicious without exception, fries even made from potatoes, where else can you get that. Cheeseburger vegan mega great. There is a good selection of dishes for vegans. Ambience: very tastefully decorated both outside and inside, which invites you to sit for a long time. Inside with bathtubs as a bench. Very well done.

I visited the location for the first time as part of Euro 2024. Nice service and cool atmosphere. I will definitely come back again on another occasion

Excellent brunch, very abundant and good. Excellent service. Recommended

Super cozy))) Delicious food)) Recommended)) Very nice staff. You can reserve until 8:45 p.m. You won't regret the visit))

Average food at high prices - sitting outside is nice, the service was friendly and quick.

Breakfast buffet was delicious, with something for everyone. I would love to go there again and again :-)

On a beautiful Saturday lunchtime, sat outside, had a delicious meal (a bowl and seasonal strawberry pancakes) and was served very nicely. The overall rating is only 4 stars, as it is quite expensive (a 0.5l spritzer costs around €6 depending on the variety) - drinking or even eating something is a luxury.

I was at Ma for the first time on Monday, I was completely blown away by the furnishings... very tasteful and not so sterile. The waitress was super nice, in a good mood and friendly... I had the impression that she had fun doing her job. The food, baked potato with chicken strips of arugula and a few cherry tomatoes, was ok At €16, I swallowed a bit because it wasn't enough to fill me up. But I also see that the rent, personnel costs and energy are a number that need to be managed. .. therefore OK The men's toilet is an absolute disaster, when you open the door you are greeted by a rush of acrid urine stench. That shouldn't happen in such a great restaurant, it's certainly partly due to the guests... but mainly due to the management who ignores it and the negligence of the cleaning staff. It's definitely not a dream job... but you can still do it properly.

It's true that it's been my favorite bar, cafe, whatever for a while now, but somehow lately the shandy tasted like spühli. I was with a colleague and had burgers here, even the real ones weren't that good. I don't know if there's something different in the store or not I'm crazy but I'd rather go to Rosemarie

Recommended place to have an aperitif or drink on sunny days on the terrace. Good atmosphere and attention.

Very nice restaurant. The food and drinks were brought quickly. The soups were very tasty.

Charming, sweet and with so much attention to detail, What a great cafe in a great location. Unfortunately I had a blonde hair in my strawberry dessert but that can happen🙈. Very friendly service, delicious food and drinks. Will definitely come back.

17€ for this Ceaser salad salad. If only it was fresh....No, it's this dry bitter salad from the bag. I ordered it to go and only after it was brought out to me was I told that there was no cutlery to take away. How am I supposed to eat it? Couldn't you have said that beforehand? The chicken was also forgotten at first, luckily I noticed it after I ran out.

Delicious food, very attentive and charming service, prices as usual in the city center. Gladly again.

For the first time, the menu takes some getting used to. But the food was good. We can only recommend it. We will definitely come back.

Nice shop, food is pretty ok, but I think the prices are pretty steep.

Ma has a great breakfast buffet that will delight you. Enjoy the variety and start the day full of energy!

Today I was there with my friends. Unfortunately, they made my day a disaster. I ordered cheesecake cream and they bring me yogurt with fruit. It really was like that. Another issue was the unfriendly waitress. There were so many empty tables for new customers to sit at. But every 5 minutes the waitress would come and ask, "Do you need anything? Do you want to pay?" And finally we got fed up and went to another restaurant. Really now I understand why I'm getting more and more empty every day. I hope the manager will see my feedback and try to solve these problems in the restaurant.

We had such nice service. The breakfast and the Hugo’s were very, very tasty. I'd love to come back 🫶🏼

The Asian bowl I ordered was an absolute failure. It was pre-prepared Asian vegetables that were in an indefinable sauce and had already been completely softened, as well as rice. In my opinion, this has nothing to do with the basic idea of ​​a bowl. To my horror, at the end of my meal I also came across an extremely long, dark hair, so that I finally lost my appetite. When the waitress asked me if I liked it - and I gave my criticism, all she said was: "That's what a bowl looks like here."

Cozy. The coffee is highly recommended.

The menu is nice and offers plenty of choice for vegetarians and regular guests. I had a bowl that had good toppings, average taste and was quite expensive at €15.00. Unfortunately, while eating I found an insect in my food and pointed it out to the waitress. The reaction was sobering and in the end I even had to pay for the meal in full.

I just loved everything about this place! The food was also amazinh. Specially the bowls. I actually didn‘t take any photos because I couldn‘t wait! And this drink with himbeere was the best!

Despite the crowds on Sunday there was room for 3 people. In addition to the buffet, there were dishes from the menu, which I thought was great! Service was ok, food was very tasty, especially the brown bread.

At Ma you get a wonderful breakfast buffet. Lovingly put together, beautifully presented. There are a variety of dishes that stand out from most breakfast buffets in Essen. If you have breakfast here, you can go home with the feeling that you have done something good for your body and soul. Large selection for everyone (including vegans). The staff is friendly and attentive. I also really like the ambience.

Nice atmosphere, nice staff! Prices a bit expensive.

In my opinion, they have the best breakfast buffet here!

Cozy place in the middle of Essen with delicious food.

Good service and good food. Gladly again

Great concept, very varied and imaginative menu. Fresh products, deliciously prepared. Friendly and fast service. Funny atmosphere. Price/performance appropriate. Any time!!!

Great cafe/bar. Have been to the MA several times for breakfast or lunch. Super friendly service and quick service. Breakfast on Saturday and Sunday as a buffet was excellent and fresh and plentiful. Freshly squeezed orange juice is included. Bread and rolls, scrambled eggs or omelettes, quark dishes, fruit muesli and vegan things...everything rich and freshly prepared. Coffee costs extra, but that's the case almost everywhere. We are thrilled and would love to come back...

LECKER I took the mango avocado with chicken breast and chimichuri

Nice place to stay and enjoy!!!

The ambience alone is worth a visit. The staff is always very friendly and on the ball. The food is also very good and served with love

We had been in the MA again for a long time. Drinks were ok. But the chili was, unlike before, overpriced for the small bowl and the taste was also a disappointment. The meat was undercooked and tasted tough. Drink yes, eat no.

We come here again and again for breakfast/brunch and enjoy the varied selection between sweet and savory, light and greasy 😁 The only detraction: no gluten-free options, neither for bread nor for muesli, a bit outdated, so to speak. But otherwise really great 👍

A nice restaurant with an appealing atmosphere. The food is great. We had the chicken party platter with 4 dips = super tasty. Very friendly staff. We were here for the first time and would love to come back.
