  This review goes across two visits. Once for lunch and once for a late breakfast. Looked to be a decent place, but the paintings were crooked for some inexplicable reason. Not just off a little bit, but purposely hung crooked. I'm sorry, but that takes away from the otherwise cozy atmosphere. Lunch: we ordered a craft mocktail, an avocado and egg bread, and a schnitzel. The schnitzel was good, no real complaints at all. The bread item was... lacking. It was very cold, and wet, and soggy, to our dismay, because the taste itself was good. To be fair, it didn't actually say "toast" on the menu, but one would expect such an item to be toasted. The mocktail was good with fresh raspberries. Good service this time around. We thought to give it another go for our late breakfast. Ordered pancakes, a caesar wrap, scrambled eggs and bacon, and a bread and cheese plate. The description for the bread was a bit confusing, and the server really didn't know how to explain the choices properly either. After quite some time, a completely different server brought our food to us. The pancakes cost €8,50 for some very small and sad cakes. The menu only says you get five but doesn't give a size, and at that price, it almost feels deceitful. The eggs were okay, but they forgot the bacon. This was corrected in a timely manner, by the second waiter. The bread was ok, but the caesar wrap was something else. Firstly, I have never in my life heard of a hot caesar wrap. Maybe the chicken inside would be hot, but not the whole thing. I'm guessing it was baked, but whatever they did to it was completely ass backwards. The lettuce was wilted and hot, the dressing turned into a runny mess, and the chicken was just warm somehow. Biting into it caused it to explode the hot, runny sauce. It fell apart under its own liquids shortly after, and we resorted to eating it with a knife and fork. That barely worked, but this is a horrible menu item. After we finally finished we waited around for some 20 minutes. Our server was running around but just wouldn't come back to the table, even though our plates were cleared by someone else. I was tired of waiting so I hailed another server for our check. Pretty bad service the second visit with middling food. I wouldn't recommend this place.

  Right before heading back home, we were looking for a quick and affordable snack. This place had it all, with a great service on top of it. At a 10 minutes walk from the station in an open area with a nice terrace. It was a nice closure of our stay in Essen.

  Really nice place to have lunch. Right in the city center. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and food. The restaurant is very spacious. The was extremely delicious and portions were huge! For that price it was very good.

  One of the best cafe in Essen. I personally love the Celona Curry aka Gelbes Curry. The one with chicken is my favorite. Also the banana beer is something I have trust her and I love it ❤️🤙🤌

  Nice place for a quick bite for breakfast in a central location. Classic Celona charm and atmosphere, good quality, good service. Nice and spacious terrace as well protected by plexiglass panels for a bit of privacy so that you can enjoy your time there. Card payment possible, public parking options in the area (street or Limbecker Platz mall, and so on), so overall a good idea! Immer wieder gern! 😎
