Cafe Leinpfad - Hamburg

Perfect spot to have lunch or drinks when the weather is nice. I watched dozens of boats, kayaks, canoes and paddleboards pass by while I ate lunch. I had a baked potato and salad. If you speak more German than me, ask for a little...cream. The waitress spoke enough English to help me and was very friendly and patient

My first time in this “satellite” restaurant of the “Sommer Terrassen” was good. Not only because of the nice sunny weather but also of the service at the Cafe and the food served. We had the Scampi Salad and typical for Hamburg Matjes Herring with...fried potatoes and side salad. Both were good in quantity and quality. The waitresses were attentive and friendly. The prices acceptable and not too expensive. I can recommend this place despite previous reviews. Sometimes it’s also the way you treat the staff

Cafe Leinpfad is directly on the water, which makes it the perfect place for an afternoon drink. Unfortunately, not the food nor the drinks were worth it. My friend had a Caipirinha and it was literally impossible to drink it. The sugar was crunchy on...the teeth, the drink itself tasted horribly. She asked it to be exchanged, it was, but it didn't get better. She never even drank half of the glass, that's how awful it was. As for food, they don't really have good vegetarian options, so I went for the pesto spagetti, which was swimming in oil. The portion was very big, but I had to fish the spagetti out and drain them, as they were soaked in olive oil. My friend had a baked potato, which was, well, a baked potato. The waiters brought us the food but no cutlery, got our orders mixed up, ended up serving me the wrong wine... they were friendly, but completely confused and out of it. So the place is maybe ok for coffee or a glass of wine if they get it right... but stay away from the food. Such a shame, it could have been a real gem

We popped by on a sunny day for coffee and cake. It was good, with service ok. Its location is the real drawcard here though. It does get busy when the Alster boats stop by though. We'll be back though

We ate here on our day out in Hamburg. The setting is nice, just at the waterfront by the Alster canals. The food was also okay but then came the surprise. I ordered the bill minutes before the next boat would arrive and the...service personnel tactically waited so long that I didn't have any chance to wait for my change, so I ended up tipping some euros, because I only had a EUR note me. That's called cheating and this is why I advise not to visit this place
