cafe & restaurant "die kokerei" - Essen

Originally, I just wanted a coffee and go somewhere else to eat. but to see the menu, we decided to eat our vegan meal here. the spaghetti with lenses were good and delicious. after the visit of the “Survivors” exhibition, it was exactly what we needed!

We had a really good lunch during our visit to customs club. the salat was very good and fresh and the service was very friendly! the owner offers me a small calla when she realized that I liked this flower! when they visit. customs union must stop them here for a lunch coffe: it is worth it!

Other visitors complained about the service here, but our experience was good. it wasn't busy what might have helped. solid, well prepared dishes such as spaetzle and schinitzel and some interesting salads. the prices were fair. the location, in an old industrial building in the middle. the coking, was great! as others have said, the toilets are worth a visit, even for a look industrial chic with huge steel doors.

Beautiful place, but terrible waitress that let her wait on the bar that chat with each other and ignore them. Waiting for minutes, we asked if we could order and just got a moment as answer. simply bring their own beer and chill in the wonderful opposite.

Because of the amazing place we really liked the restaurant. The surrounding is amazing but the restaurant really sucked. The food was okay, not that good but not bad. Unfortunately was the service so bad that we didn't got what we ordered both with the...drinks as well with the dinner. When it was time for desert they told us this wasn't possible because the kitchen was closed, but at the same time they were still serving hamburgers to other people. So we ordered coffee, when they brought the coffee they didn't even clean up our dinner plates. It's a pity that a wonderful restaurant at a beautifull place is messed up by six waiters (who are all just chilling with eachother except checking on the guests). We would definitely not go again.
