Pfefferprinz in Oldenburg (Oldb)

Woke up early this Saturday morning at 7:20 a.m. Drive to Wechloy for the women's flea market, and before that, to the Pfefferprinz for breakfast. Fantastic!! It shows how you can create a fantastic breakfast buffet at a reasonable price. So many home-cooked and locally produced foods, it was fantastic. The best bakery rolls, lots of meat alternatives, vegan (homemade) spread! Homemade muesli ingredients like granola. Great, fresh homemade antipasti, plum crumble (still warm), and so much more (I couldn't identify any ready-made products, except for the jam, rolls and bread from the bakery, and the butter and Becel 😀). Even the plates, cups, glasses, and bowls were mostly unique. A great atmosphere in the restaurant, even though it was fully booked. All the staff were in a great mood, extremely friendly, and much more. All of this contributed to the great atmosphere and the good feeling of having breakfast here. I've rarely had such a breakfast in a restaurant. It would be a pleasure if you could maintain this level. Thank you for the excellent hospitality.

We went there for breakfast. It was plentiful and delicious! We'll be back!

We were there for breakfast on Saturday. We had reserved a table for 4 adults, 2 toddlers, and 1 baby. It was nice that we were seated near the children's play area. It was a shame, however, that we were given a small table for 4. Two high chairs were placed in front of the table. This meant they were halfway in the aisle. People would always walk past them. However, there's a robot that brings guests to their tables. This robot didn't come through, which caused frustration for both the guests who weren't able to get to their tables and for us. The breakfast itself was good. The selection is sufficient. I like that, in addition to juice, they also offered various cold iced teas. Unfortunately, the scrambled eggs were cold. Otherwise, the atmosphere is actually quite nice. There are plenty of booths where four people can sit comfortably. At some tables, you sit on armchairs or a kind of bar stool.

I got a table without a reservation, lucky me. The noise level is very loud.

The best place for breakfast in Oldenburg 💘

Great service, good prices, very good selection, even for vegans.

The food was good. The service was friendly. The negative, however, is the supposedly state-of-the-art ordering system. You stand at the entrance in front of a vending machine and have to hurriedly choose something. You can't do that at your table anymore. And you have to pay at the "service at the cash register." If you can't pay at your table, that's certainly not service. The supposedly modern conditions are getting worse and worse.

Service was nice, but unfortunately quite slow. We didn't like the coffee at all, so we were left standing :-/

Potatoes undercooked and underseasoned, cheese only melted and not baked as described in the menu. The cruet sets for seasoning either had rusty lids or were completely dirty. A definite no-go. The only positive was that the server who brought the drinks was very nice. No menu, only ordering via QR code, no menus. Data protection says hello! Online payment via PayPal is not possible. Any cafeteria can do better. All in all, a very poor service for a meal costing around 13 euros. You feel ripped off. The staff only offer weak excuses. Despite the promise, the food was not removed from the bill until I specifically pointed it out. Once and never again! It's a shame when you can't handle criticism. Is the review supposed to be defamation? No, it's a realistic assessment from a chef with 30 years of professional experience! Set 6

The breakfast buffet is pretty dull and simple. More show than substance. Never again!

Very tasty, great selection of food options, including plenty for vegetarians and vegans. We'll definitely be back again.

Great tip for a stop off the highway. Clean, very fair prices, and a nice atmosphere. Ordering via tablet/smartphone works well.

We've become big Pfefferprinz fans, as we enjoy both their breakfast and lunch offerings. The chicken schnitzel and the Edelgockel burger, for example, are highly recommended. Reservations are essential for the breakfast buffet to ensure a table. Those who arrive early will, of course, have the full selection. The variety of dishes is fantastic and varied, with something for every taste. The only thing that could be improved is the cleanliness of the tables. Although they're always cleared, they're often still dirty. See you next time!

Very noisy, breakfast buffet was good and sufficient.

The food was very good and beautifully presented. However, the waitress was very unmotivated, forgot the cutlery, and didn't even bring napkins. Unfortunately, the service was not good.

Top-notch food, great staff, cool ordering system! Simply super!

We were there for breakfast. Friends had previously praised how great the breakfast (brunch) was. Due to other activities, we didn't make a reservation until 12 p.m. A mistake, as it turned out. In order: The rolls and bread were great, kudos to the bakery we chose. The sweet spread selection was good. The butter and cream cheese spread was plentiful and delicious. The savory spreads were unfortunately disappointing. The scrambled egg container was empty except for the obligatory, cold one, and was refilled very slowly (more than 15 minutes) upon request. So we ended up with a medium-soft-boiled egg, which was hard-boiled when opened at the table. Bacon, sausage, or any other savory items, which are now standard fare everywhere, were nowhere to be seen. The sausage spread area, etc., offered no selection other than poultry salami, as the onion-based minced meat, nicely presented in small Weck jars, was unfortunately very popular. A meat salad was offered, which was plentiful and delicious. The vegan section was well-stocked, perhaps it only seemed that way because hardly anyone ate any of it. At least I was able to snag a glass of smoked salmon (which was extremely salty). What was good was the salad bar, muesli bar, and sweet bar. There were grilled vegetables (cold). However, I don't go to such a price-conscious brunch for muesli and salad. What was totally confusing was that you could add a €5 drink flat rate for hot drinks at the beginning. The hot drinks and vending machines were at the end of the "buffet" and freely accessible. So, they could have done without it because there was no control. The highlight for my wife was the hot chocolate. However, they only used the cheapest mix mixed with hot water. Milk could have been used instead. The service staff were quick, but the kitchen probably should have been better staffed if the buffet was constantly empty. We'll gladly come back for the regular food, as it's consistently good, but certainly not for breakfast when there are much better alternatives nearby.

This restaurant has a weird system of food ordering which is not user friendly. When we had some doubts while ordering they could not answer properly. The service is poor.

Not a user friendly way to order food.

The fries are so good, hopefully they stay that way... The chicken schnitzel wasn't good at all, with tendons. I actually come just to eat the best fries in town.

Mass processing in a pleasant atmosphere. A normal brunch there means €24 for 30 minutes of waiting in line for a subpar buffet. Everyone queues at the coffee machine, which spits out the cheapest coffee the discount store has to offer. Since there's no service, you end up having to clear the table yourself. NEVER again. UPDATE 7/18/25 The owner responded very kindly to my review and explained the unusual situation that day. We'll give the store another chance and report back.

We went there for breakfast. The breakfast was good, the buffet clean, and the rolls delicious. The coffee was also good. Unfortunately, the music was too loud. Accordingly, we had to speak louder. Overall, it was rather loud and uncomfortable, and unfortunately, we had to wait a long time at the buffet. Therefore, we won't be coming back.

Always happy to come back. Great, extensive, and delicious breakfast buffet. Friendly and hard-working staff. Top 👍🏻

We went there once for breakfast and once for lunch. The buffet was beautifully presented and everything was delicious. For lunch, we had schnitzel with fries and a great sauce. It was delicious. We'd love to come back. One star deducted for the children's high chairs. You can't strap the children in, and very small children have to be held tightly at all times to prevent them from falling out when they move around.

The menu offers a very good selection. I had a falafel burger and my son had a currywurst made from straw-fed pork. Both were delicious. We sat outside with Chili Lounge music. The ambiance is okay considering it's located next to a large shopping center.

The food surprised me; the quality was simply superb. As a diabetic, I have to be careful about a lot of things, but here everything was perfect. The play area for the little ones is also a big hit. I highly recommend the Pfefferprinz.

We've rarely eaten so well! Both the spaetzle with grandma's goulash and the chicken curry were outstanding! We'd love to come back!

We were looking forward to a good lunch! Then we were told they had to register using the QR code on their phone! I tried, but the app opened and was full of ads, and I couldn't get to the menu! We got up and left the restaurant! It's a shame; we used to love eating there!

For my daughters and me, it is the location that leaves nothing to be desired when it comes to the breakfast buffet!

We had the cheese spaghetti and the vegetarian chicken with paprika schnitzel. Both were truly delicious! We loved the mobile ordering option, and the food was brought to our table relatively quickly. The service staff was attentive and friendly.

The lack of service while five waitresses stood at the counter and talked was extremely unpleasant.

Very friendly staff! Delicious food! Fair prices!

We had delicious schnitzels, and the portions were very generous. The service was very good.

Great restaurant and great service

Unfortunately, it's starting to decline somewhat, as the price is quite high. Perhaps it's just not our taste anymore. The wait staff wanders around the place with their bellies exposed, but it seems they're doing nothing other than assigning seats. We won't be coming back. It used to be the best breakfast in the area for us.

Fantastic breakfast buffet. Super friendly staff. We enjoyed our Sunday.

Breakfast was good and plentiful, with everything we needed. The reserved table was fine for us older guests, but the seating was so soft that you sink into the chair, making it difficult to eat. Firmer chairs and sofas would have been more comfortable to eat in. What we didn't like at all was the coffee. It was very thin, and the thin milk foam consisted only of water and wasn't at all creamy, like you'd expect from milk foam.

I've been there for breakfast several times and can highly recommend it. The selection is very large, with a wide range of baked goods, smoothies, various vegan products, fish, cheese, and sausage products, and many different hot drinks. I'm always very satisfied and will definitely go there again.

Simply a great place for brunch. I've only been there for breakfast and I have to say it's one of the tastiest places I know. I can really only recommend it. Great service. Great staff. Great ambience. Keep it up.

Pepper Prince Burger and Edelgockel Burger each with fries mayo. Super tasty. Highly recommended

Best food in all of Oldenburg. I've never eaten so well here.

We had diner at this restaurant. You order by tablet which was not a problem for us. It allows you to customize your orders. Furthermore, service was great and quick! Great modern atmosphere. Food was amazing. You can choose from burgers, pasta and schnitzels.

The kitchen is very good. The straw pork goulash was great. The vegan spaghetti spaetzle is a real surprise and highly recommended. Burgers, fries, everything delicious. The entire family is happy and full. The homemade lemonade is fruity and not so sweet, really great. The service was friendly and quick. The atmosphere is cozy and we had enough space for our two dogs. It's great that dogs are allowed in, it would have been too warm in the car. Thank you for the pleasant stay

I've walked past it so many times but never been inside. That has to be changed. You can use the QR code to get an overview, order, pay directly and it doesn't take long until it's ready. The shop is modern, rustic and simply chic. Sufficient space for solo travelers. family or groups. The food is sufficiently portioned (and I like to eat a lot). You will definitely be full. I dared to try the fruity schnitzel: chicken schnitzel in coconut breading with mango sauce, with sweet potatoes and chili mayo... Mega 🥰 Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture... but take one yourself 😉 I can recommend it 👍🏽

Loud like a train station. Rather unsuitable for breakfast, little choice or simple quality. Price-performance doesn't fit here. People who like to eat a lot and like to eat fried potatoes for breakfast are in good hands here. Coffee was subpar, orange juice had to be paid extra. Too bad. We won't be coming back.

We had dinner there this evening and it was great! We didn't really like the system at first, but the service staff were really helpful. Everyone took their time, even though it seemed quite busy, and served us very nicely. Thank you for that! We'd love to come back.

It tasted very good, the food was quick and the shop was nice, everything was great and it was worth a visit

Unfortunately it gives a very bad rating because the restaurant doesn't seem to rely on customers. We wanted to eat something at 8 p.m. today, but were no longer served and sent away. Opening hours of 9 p.m. are stated everywhere in the barometer, on Google and on the homepage. So the service staff's statement that the warm food is only valid until 8 p.m. and that it would be on the internet is not true, especially since a table reservation is possible until 8:30 p.m.! (See photo) An early finish is more important than paying and satisfied customers! Let's see how long the restaurant will be around.

Price performance top. Ambience super cozy. Waitresses very friendly and helpful. Feel free to come here.

Good breakfast, but catastrophic organization – never again! The breakfast itself was completely okay in terms of taste - but everything else was an imposition. The organization was a complete mess, nothing went smoothly, and the staff was unfriendly and overwhelmed. There was an unpleasant atmosphere, no one felt responsible, and questions were answered with annoyance. Some guests even left early - and rightly so. This is how you scare away your customers. Really disappointing!

Today was probably the last time in the restaurant. We were very frequent and happy customers for a while. The service today was very unfriendly...the place was very dirty, something you wouldn't otherwise know. Unfortunately we didn't like the food at all. And we'd rather buy a children's fries for 6.99 euros at a Happy Metal opposite. The play area is also starting to leave a lot to be desired. Very unfortunate.

We were there for the breakfast buffet and everything was perfect! The selection was huge (including vegetarian and vegan!) and all the employees were super nice. When we made the reservation we stated that we were coming to celebrate a birthday and the table even had a few birthday decorations on it. Very good value for money and a lot comes from the region. We'll definitely be back!

Visits are recommended after prior reservation, toilets could be better designated

We were very satisfied. Order by mobile phone only. But it was served quickly afterwards.

Everything great. Go regularly. Always happy.🥰

Food very tasty, atmosphere is very nice and relaxing. Just the staff and service is... Well. Unfriendly and rude. You order something and are left sitting there, even though the staff knew that we had ordered something and that was obvious. In addition, they make fun of the customers in a small circle and just chat around. Sorry, but I can only give this a total of 1 star because it ruins everything. It's a shame, it was always very nice before.

Very friendly staff!!! Be sure to reserve your seat!!!! Was there the first and last time. Very large place, very crowded. Very loud. Mass processing...... Food varied, everything your heart desires. What's good is that you pay in advance...you can go whenever you want and don't have to wait for service when it's full.

Good atmosphere and comfortable seating with couches and armchairs or normal chairs. You can order from your cell phone using a QR code and it will be served quickly. The food also tastes very good. On weekends there is a breakfast buffet at a fixed price. I like being there in the evenings when there's not so much going on. Then relaxed music plays and you have a nice environment to chat. The staff is also very nice. An unreserved recommendation from me :)

The breakfast buffet is plentiful and there is a lot of choice There are different types of smoothies that are very tasty There are even different types of coffee Very nice staff

We spontaneously went there on Valentine's Day! It was very busy but the staff was still very friendly and attentive! It was diligently refilled or prepared! There were even soft eggs and salmon! A huge selection! Wow!

Food great, prices are ok, friendly staff. Definitely coming back.

Fantastic breakfast and lunch at Pfefferprinz Oldenburg The Pfefferprinz restaurant in the Famila Center in Oldenburg is an absolute delight for gourmets. Whether for breakfast or lunch, everyone will find what they are looking for here. The breakfast buffet is rich and offers a large selection of fresh, high-quality dishes. From crispy rolls to delicious sausage and cheese specialties to fresh eggs and crispy bacon - nothing is left to be desired here. There is also a good selection of vegetarian dishes for vegetarians. Lunch at Pfefferprinz is also highly recommended. The menu offers a wide range of different dishes, from hearty classics to light salads. All dishes are prepared with fresh ingredients and are very tasty. Particularly noteworthy is the friendly and attentive service. The staff always strive to ensure guests have a pleasant stay. The price-performance ratio in the Pfefferprinz is very good. For what is on offer, the prices are absolutely reasonable. I can fully recommend the Pfefferprinz restaurant in the Famila Center in Oldenburg. Whether for breakfast or lunch, you can indulge in culinary delights here.

Uncomfortable and drafty in many places. The chairs and tables were not very clean. The staff is nice but often seems overwhelmed

Great breakfast buffet. Price performance is completely okay. The only suggestion for improvement would be if there was a permanent scent dispenser in the toilet.

We were there for dinner in the evening. Selection and food takes a bit of getting used to. There is only light food and no hearty steak. I then ordered the schnitzel. This was so paper thin and more marinade than meat, very disappointing. With fries you paid 15 euros for just about 100 grams of meat.

We went for breakfast again in November. Although it's a bit down, as always it was a great breakfast buffet with a large selection of food and drinks. You can't try everything 😀 We also had a nice seat by the window, which always makes the stay special. The next table has already been reserved again to celebrate my birthday.

We were here for Sunday brunch and were generally satisfied. There were lots of healthy things, like Diershof yoghurt, fruit and vegetables and vegan alternatives. Chia and other “grains” were also available. All in all very nice, but also very crowded, which affected the waiting time. What I would optimize: Better quality coffee drinks and a “fresh egg” station. Otherwise very tasty...

We had lunch today. Schnitzel with fries and mushroom sauce. The food was delicious and fresh, even the fries. The lemonade was also great and refreshing. Not too sweet. We'll definitely be back.

Very tasty burgers, fries and schnitzel as well as a good roulade with a difference. If you're shopping here on a nice afternoon you can get a delicious meal here at a very reasonable price. However, it remains a shopping center and you don't necessarily lose that feeling in the restaurant. But good food and you'll be happy to come back for that.

Very friendly service which we experienced during our breakfast buffet. Nice and helpful service staff. The selection is very good and vegans and vegetarians are also catered for. What I was particularly pleased about is that there are also soft-boiled breakfast eggs here, which are rarely offered due to the additional costs for polluxing or pasteurizing. It would be nice if there were small milk jugs for tea drinkers, as the milk is offered in a large cooling jug to save waste and you don't want to have milk in your tea during the brewing time. The quality of the meat and fish on offer is very good, while the very hard and tasteless mozzarella almost begs you to go without. The homemade sauces and grilled vegetables are good. Overall, the positive aspects far outweigh the minor weak points.

Very rich buffet. Scrambled eggs prepared very tasty. 3. different styles of coffee. Tens of different types of tea. Very friendly staff. Good value for money.

The breakfast buffet on a Saturday at €18 is simply too expensive for what you get. The ingredients on offer are of really good quality, there's nothing wrong with that, but for the price I expect at least a little salmon, orange juice (only sweet iced tea is included in the price) and a larger selection of fruits. There were also no fried eggs and for the extra charge of €4.40 there was only filter coffee, not a fully automatic machine. All in all, this is equivalent to a normal breakfast in a mid-range 4-star hotel. But nothing more. €22.50 including coffee is simply too much money, especially since it's a self-service restaurant where you have to put your plates in a cart like in a fast food chain...

The restaurant is very modern and the staff is super nice. The food is an absolute pleasure... I don't know what could be done better here... very modern, delicious cuisine.

Full 5 stars 🌟 we would love to come back, friendly, selection, ambience, everything just fits.

The food was totally ok for the price, but you might want to reconsider the presentation on the metal tray. Has some storage space for surgical cutlery. Overall, appropriate for the shopping center and an asset.

Four of us went to the Pfefferprinz for lunch today. Service very friendly and well maintained 👍. Ordering via cell phone or tablet... takes some getting used to. I'm more of a fan of paper cards 😉 We had 2x currywurst fries and 2x burger fries. Food was okay... but in my opinion the eye eats too, and that wasn't possible here. Carelessly served on a silver tray with no decorations, no real plates... a sheet of paper under the currywurst and fries. There's really room for improvement here! Homemade lemonades are very tasty.

We were there for breakfast. Unfortunately we were disappointed. We had a spot at the entrance and it was totally cold and drafty the whole time. The store was full, so no other space was possible despite reservations. The scrambled eggs were tasty but unfortunately cold. The rolls aren't really fresh. The juice was watery. The ambience is really great, the store is very nicely decorated and modern. Employees are nice. We'll be back, but not for breakfast.

You're surprised when you get there for the first time. Because you have to pay everything in advance. The store is very large and for a Saturday morning it was quite loud and very busy. The service was largely good, helpful and quick. However, they often couldn't give me any information about allergens. I would really like to see a larger vegan offering, with its own arena, maybe even soy-free.

great! I was invited there for a friend's birthday who reserved a table there. We took the breakfast buffet. Super great selection like in a chic hotel. There really wasn't anything missing. The staff was also very friendly and we sat at a nice table at the front left. We were able to talk in peace there. There were lots of homemade things on the buffet and it tasted excellent. However, you have to reserve early because it is always fully booked.

We really like being at the Pepper Prince. 😊 Both the breakfast buffet and the menu contain a large selection (including vegetarian dishes.) The staff is very nice!🤍 The facility is very comfortable, spacious and clean. You can order using a “tablet” at the table and pay either online (e.g. PayPal) or at the service desk. The food comes quite quickly and the ingredients always look and taste very fresh.😊

Delicious food in a nice atmosphere. Food is ordered via tablets

A great place to have breakfast 👍🏻. You have to make a reservation but it's worth it 😋. We'll be back!!!

Hello everyone, This bistro is one of my favorites! Top food and even better service. The waitresses are super friendly and immediately respond to special requests such as ice in the cola. Great recommendation!!

The quality and selection of the buffet is really great. There is something for every taste and the beautifully furnished ambience as well as the really great and, above all, hard-working staff help ensure that you have a great stay.

Very nice facilities. I was very disappointed with breakfast. At a buffet I would personally expect there to be bacon and mini bratwurst. The cocoa tastes very bitter and watery. Freshly squeezed juice costs 1.95 extra. Rolls didn't seem really fresh.

I actually expected a little more given the great reviews. The facility reminds me a bit of a rest stop. In the middle is the cash register and drinks bar, on the side is the open kitchen and next to it there is a station where you can get your own drinks. You can order directly at the table or on your smartphone, I didn't see a "real" menu. When ordering, you can choose whether to pay directly online or at the checkout when you leave. Paying at the table is not possible. You also clear the tables yourself; there are large clearing carts between the tables. There was very loud lounge music playing in the background, which for me didn't suit the restaurant, but of course that's my opinion. In the toilets there were some sayings and pictures from fairy tales, they actually remind me a bit of a large burger chain. The food was good but nothing special. I would look for another restaurant next time

We were there for the breakfast buffet and we really enjoyed it. The service was friendly, good selection of food and drinks, we enjoyed it, we had a nice table with comfortable upholstered benches, what more could you want. A bit restless and loud due to the size of the restaurant.

Nice restaurant with a special offer. Delicious and affordable

Comfortable is different, but it's normal in such a big store. The breakfast was absolutely fine.

- Cozy atmosphere - Very friendly staff - Very clean The 500 KM journey is always worth it 😉!! I'll be back in 2025. Thank you for the nice time with you 👍👍👍👍👍

Because it's so uncomplicated, we go there often. You can park right there, your dog is allowed and the food is perfectly fine. Nothing special but just good cuisine at a fair price. What's particularly striking is that the service staff are always nice and friendly, no matter how busy the store is, you get the feeling that everyone is having fun. The only negative point is that the floor is always really dirty... There are always old food leftovers under the table.

Very good buffet, unfortunately a bit loud, but that's to be expected with many people.

Justified 5 stars. Everything was right.

“Roulade the other way round” it was incredibly tasty! Thanks for this, can't wait to explore the rest of the menu!!!

Delicious and great breakfast buffet. Self-service.

Were there for the first time today with two people. We received a very friendly and courteous welcome. We had 2 very tasty coffees and 2 lunch dishes. We had the spagätzle with chicken curry and the currywurst with fries and chili mayo. Both super tasty. Would come back at any time.

We were surprised that as a guest you are actually in a kind of self-service situation. You order via QR code and the food is brought to the appropriate table. I found ordering online very tiring. There is a search function that urgently needs to be revised. I searched for apple spritzer and it didn't show it because the word organic wasn't in my search query. The tray trolleys were overfilled and we first had to ask where the dishes should go. It was clean. It is also a shame that the existing children's play area did not receive enough appreciation from other children/parents. The walls are completely painted and everything was on the floor. My children cleaned up there twice he didn't stay that way. The appeal to parents at this point: if such an option is available, please be careful The food tasted great and was plentiful.

Nice people, good service, delicious breakfast offer! Always my pleasure!

Super nice staff, food very good and everything nicely presented, we felt very comfortable and will definitely come back

What you need to know before you go: It is largely a self-service restaurant. You order at the table using a QR code and pay either directly online or at the checkout. Food and drinks will then be brought. You put the dishes away yourself. That wasn't a problem for us, we actually found it quite nice. But we still thought it would be nice if you didn't have to take the plates away yourself. The food was very tasty! Excellent schnitzel! Just a little sparsely seasoned. We'll be back :) Redeeming the barometer went smoothly by paying at the checkout!
