Cute little place. Food was ok. BUT the service was horrible. We were 8 people and 3 of us wanted…read moreto share a special breakfast. Well sharing was NOT allowed and they told us there is one other breakfast that people are allowed to share. Downside was that's not what we liked as our breakfast so we decided not to share and got what we wanted in the first place instead. Our 6 year old daughter just wanted one half of a roll, so we thought it would be ok if she could have half a roll of the 6 we received. We asked the waitress for a plate so she wouldn't need to eat on the table. We received a big stare and 2 min later the owner showed up and told us, it is not allowed to order an extra plate and to share food. She said, it is their policy and they have their reasons and then she gave us a plate because she was kind enough to make an exception. This just blew my mind. So if you like sharing food because it might be too much or a waste or if you like to have an extra plate don't go there.

Great place to hang out and watch locals (every passer-by seems to greet you with "Guten Tag"). Nice modern cozy breakfast area to the right of the entrance. Sandwiches are not on display (thus, sitting out for long periods of time) as with most places, but just ask for whatever brötchen sandie suits your fancy, and they'll make it for you in a few minutes. What a wonderful spot to spend an hour or so relaxing - or to fall in love with a server, albeit likely to never see again.

ALEX offers a chill, laidback setting for a lunch break or midday coffee.

It's close location to Jahnplatz, Altstadt and the Strassenbahn's (streetcar's) Rathaus stop makes ALEX a great place to either start or end a night on the town in Bielefeld. Some of the music played sounds like a best of the 80s and 90s soft rock station, but that could be said of many German establishments I've enountered. The bathrooms are always pretty clean. The waitstaff and bartenders are helpful and friendly. They will also remember your usual order, if you become a regular customer. Brunch on the weekends is quite popular at the restaurant/cafe/bar. The food is great, especially the Italian Baguette. I recommend sharing the cheeseburger unless you have a big appetite. Drinks are very reasonably priced. Ice cream desserts are good too, and they can be ordered without the alcohol.
