YES VAPIANO IS POPULAR…read more YES VAPIANO IS FRESH But it's overrated. I wouldn't consider this as a restaurant. It's a upscale fastfood chain since you get a card at the entrance to pay your ordered food with. It's a marketing strategy since you pay with a plastic card and not with real money, you lose the awareness of the value. And at the canteen you'll take a tray and after 15 min of waiiting in line hopefully you got your meal. This is not bad at all. I like it crowdy and waiting for someone to free their table so we can sit. No seriously I think it's fun :D The only thing why I gave it 3 stars is because I'm always still hungry when I leave Vapiano. The dish you order comes with a huge bowl or plate or whatever but the actual food covers only 1/3 of it. And I refuse to order another one. THAT'S THE CATCH. People order more because one dish is too little. I REFUSE bitches!

Fun, airy, Moderate. Told myself I didn't go to Germany to eat Italian, much less at a chain, but…read moreafter several days of never seen anything remotely green on my plate (ubiquitous potato, one restaurant served me two side dishes of potatoes prepared differently), i needed the vegetables. DH got roasted vegetables on his pizza, I decided on a spinach pesto pizza. Slices of heaven. Salty, though. Did you know heaven was high in sodium? Drank a gallon of water, but water is good for you. You go station to station. Pay at the end, it's added to this card you are given upon entering. Very brightly lit. Communal tables, but no one talks to each other. Often crowded. Potted basil and rosemary plants on the tables.

It pretty much has everything all of the offerings above have (combined!) and then some. Swedish pancakes, homemade applesauce, lingonberry jam, amazing homemade breads, butter, a mountain of cream cheese no one can finish, an assortment of cheeses, delicious savory and buttery mini quiches with specks of bacon, rich and extremely flavorful homemade veal liver pate, surprisingly excellent herring, hard-boiled eggs, fruit salad, and a small assortment of local veggies. Yes! You get all of that. You also get a gratis helping of "where the heck do I start!?!" and a glass of prosecco or orange juice as well. Skip breakfast, skip lunch, do brunch...here.

Cute little cafe unfortunately the service is slow and not quite attentive. The coffee is good but…read morethe food could be better, the eggs had not been properly boiled, cheese came with a bit of plastic still attached to it and the bread they serve for a large breakfast plate for two persons is only two tiny slices and two really small knäckebröd wedges. We basically had to ask for extra bread so we could finish the plate and we were asked exactly how many slices we'd require. I should also mention where we sat (at the back of the place) a few spiderwebs were hanging from the ceiling and that's simply not nice.

I have been to many locations in different cities and it's hit and miss, especially during rush…read morehour when you have to wait in line for eons until you can order. We visited this location around 9pm during a work week and the two male chefs at the pasta and antipasti area seemed slightly arrogant with a tad of attitude. You can read in their faces how badly they wished their shifts to be over with. When I ordered a kids pasta with cream sauce asking for vegetables he questioned with arrogance what kid would eat vegetables, which I thought is not only rude but uncalled for. Secondly he asked if my kid would be present otherwise he wouldn't be able to prepare my kids pasta, again making me feel as if I was planning on getting a cheap meal out of him?! When I asked if he had broccoli - after asking him to prepare a cream sauce with vegetables - he declined without offering me alternative options so I had to ask him:" do you have carrots?" to which he responded by drizzling some carrots into the sauce -- overall not forthcoming nor welcoming for a gastronomy business in which the guest has to cater to himself. I am giving this location 3 stars because another employee saw my 4 year old being sad and crying and tried to cheer him up which she accomplished with a complimentary ice cream - otherwise I would have given two stars. The lady was a true gem, hospitable and very service oriented. After trying the ice cream we all ordered our own so that paid off in terms of customer satisfaction and business revenue.

They have a "unique" (read: totally unnecessary) ordering system wherein you're handed a card, then you walk from station to station ordering either pizza, pasta, salad, or dessert, and they add the cost to your card. At the end, you pay the balance you've stacked up and leave. I don't get this. Is it to appear trendy and cutting edge? Does it subliminally encourage people to spend more cash? Whatever the reason, I think the inconvenience of it outweighs it, but they seem to be successful, so what do I know. I ordered the salami pizza, an order of bruschetta, and tiramisu. The pizza was ok - I was impressed at the speed with which it was done. The bruschetta was AWESOME and I super appreciated that they had a small order - two pieces of bread with delicious tomatoe-y goodness atop it. If it were any bigger, I wouldn't have had it to accompany my food. Finally, the tiramisu was a FANTASTIC size, pre-made in a low-ball glass and tasted fresh enough. My whole meal was relatively inexpensive and I left full and satisfied!
