Bistro mit eher deftigeren speisen

Das Café Rost ist ein eher simpleres und alternatives Bistro in Mannheim. Zum aktuellen stand vegan und Kuhmilchnutzung kann ich nichts sagen.
Ich aß einen Dönerteller, mit leckeren seitan. Die streifen waren wie von einem Spieß tranchiert, die Würzung hätte etwas stärker sein können, der Geschmack wurde über das Fett transportiert. Die pommes waren mittelmäßig, die Soße hervorragend. Die recht großen und bitteren radicchioblätter hätte es nicht bedurft. Insgesamt ein guter, aber nicht der beste Dönerteller.

Kurkuma Latte

I really like turmeric lattes. This place had a decent one with soy milk. Not my favorite ever, but tasty enough. 3.5/4 stars

Cafe Rost serves almost only vegan food. They produce their own homemade icecream based on cashew: Pistachio, hazelnut, cookie
...
Die service is lovely and competent.
Atmosphere is nice and very comfortable!

Hidden place with good food

Good food and very helpful service. All dishes are vegan. Kumpir was unfortunately a little bit small.

Pros: Everything is vegan, Good service

Cons: Only cash, no cards. , One unisex toilet, which was a little bit dirty, Difficult for disabled persons to enter

Schnitzel for the win

Tbh I cannot rate anything else but their Schnitzel with salad and fries. My second favorite dish is the foccacia. Male sure to try their vegan icecream und Summer.

I have to give 5 stars…

… even if they are not 100% vegan (one dish with pecorino cheese and cows milk on request).
I really like the selection of food they offer - a nice balance between healthy, fresh dishes like colorful salads and hearty comfort foods like Schnitzel or Döner. But everything is made fresh in house.
I especially was impressed of their ice cream 🍨
Also housemade, they use soaked cashews as base.
The flavor is rich and creamy, not a big fan of simple vanilla ice cream, but theirs definitely hits the spot!
You can even have a childhood momemt here and order a big portion of spaghetti-ice cream (not sure if this is a thing outside Germany, but that was basically a classic, or must to get as a kid in an ice cream parlor!). Not easy to get that in a vegan version!
The staff was very friendly, I also appreciated the ambience and the 90s HipHop-music in the background!

Absoluter Reinfall

Mir hat es nicht geschmeckt. Geschmäcker sind natürlich verschieden. Allerdings waren meine Spätzle kalt. Der Temperaturunterschied innerhalb der Speise lässt vermuten, dass das Essen lieblos und unprofessionell in der Mikrowelle erwärmt wurde. Zudem kam die Vorspeise zeitgleich mit dem Hauptgericht. Das ist aus meiner Sicht auch ein klarer fachlicher Fehler.

Zwei Sterne gibt es nur, weil es sich um einen vegetarischen Laden mit vielen veganen Optionen handelt.

Andere Leute haben sicherlich besser Erfahrung mit dem Laden gemacht. Ich kann natürlich nur mein Erlebnis bewerten und das war nunmal durchweg schlecht.

Delicious comfort food

Ended up here by chance and now I must return to Mannheim, so I can try everything on their menu. So good, I’m already planning my next trip (not kidding!)

Als ich dort war war nicht alles vegan!
Auf der Karte steht zwar "alles vegan" drauf es sind aber trotzdem ein paar nicht vegane Sachen gelistet. Das war zwar gekennzeichnet aber trotzdem finde ich den Wiederspruch nicht gut.

Abwechslungsreiches Menü

Im Café Rost fühlt man sich einfach direkt willkommen, wenn man hineinkommt. Das Personal ist super aufmerksam und das Essen ist mega lecker. Neben einer Standardkarte gibt es immer wieder spezielle Tages-/Wochengerichte, die überwiegend vegan sind

Pros: Großes veganes Angebot, Man kann mit Paypal zahlen, Richtig nette Menschen

Favourite place in Neckarstadt West

Soy Schnitzel is my favourite dish. The burgers are really great and they offer weekly menu with delicious options (once I ate the rissotto it was expectacular!)

Pros: vegan mayo, Cozy atmosphere, good value for money

Cons: not entirely vegan just for a few dairy options

Need to go there more often...

Café Rost is a great place: it has a relaxed atmosphere, it's affordable, and it's mostly vegan. They have savoury food as well as cake, there's no surcharge for soy milk, and - which is great - they even have vegan breakfast options now! I definitely need to go there more often. :)

Pros: Many vegan options, Affordable

buenísimo

Me flipa este sitio, es súper acogedor y tienen una sopa de tomate increíble. La hamburguesa con salsa de naranja está también de flipar.

Cozy bar & restaurant

mostly vegan dishes (clearly labeled), monday till thursday always a daily special vegan dish (7,50 Euro; posted once a week on their facebook page) and a changing vegan soup, friday + weekend different burgers. Always a little menu with "soy schnitzel", foccacias, salads. Homemade lemonades and different hot drinks , like matcha cappuchino, chai & curcuma latte.
I really like the cozy interior, the friendly atmosphere and the changing delicious main dishes.

Pros: a lot of vegan options, friendly stuff, nice atmosphere

The best food in Mannheim!

Home-style cafe, with amazing focaccia sandwich and a changing "dish of the day" - rich and unique in flavors and spices. Delicious Saturday breakfast! If you love food, don't miss this place :-)
