Cafe an der Uni (CADU) - München

I've been coming here once a year for 15 years, ever since I was a student myself. Affordable, fun, convenient. Perfect place to grab a bite between lectures.

We were two families that chanced upon this restaurant, recently. It has a little door that leads into the restaurant and I so wish I hadn 't noticed it : The drinks (water, wine and fresh orange juice one can 't go wrong! were good... our food was rather average. My real problem was the service... the lady that served us was really surly and curt with us. Seven of us were served within an hour of the order. We were in no rush, so we didn 't mind that... But one and a half hours later, I still hadn 't been served my lunch! By now everyone in our group had finished their meal... but I was offered no explanation or apology. In fact, when I asked when I could expect my food, I was yelled at in German and told that it takes time! I 'd ordered a pre set breakfast of scrambled eggs, yoghurt and fresh fruits... Needless to say, by now I 'd lost my appetite. When we asked for our bill, as our guests had a train to catch, there was some more rudeness in store for us! Needless to say, I 'd never recommend this place to anyone! I 'm a resident of Munich and have had my share of indifferent service here but this place was just awful!

The cafe near the University of Munich is mainly crowded by students during the breaks of the lectures or by locals to have a beer or a coffee. There, you can find quite everything from coffee and tea to lunch and dessert, of course, beer is always there (you are in Germany). In summer there are tables outside, the atmosphere is fine and the food good. If you are nearby, it deserves a quick visit.

The KADU, as the cafe is commonly called, is centrally located at the university. In summer you can sit outside, and inside there is still a heated conservatory, in good weather is opened here, in bad weather you still have the illusion to sit outside. These were also the only advantages in my opinion: I find the food rather under average (convenient), the service too slow and often unfriendly. The sandwiches, for example, cannot convince by their lining or bread quality. Shame!

As a Munich student, you hardly get around the Cadu. I've been to the cafe, lunch, drink cocktails or watch football. I usually like it very well. The food is good, the service friendly and the cocktails delicious. Unfortunately, I have already had other experiences. The service was really very unfriendly and the food was not very good. This is the exception... A lot of things are going on in Cadu to football matches. Whether Germany or Bavaria. You have to book a table or you have no chance. But it's worth it. The mood is really great for a bar...
