Rischart Café am Marienplatz

The food was delicious as always, the service was excellent and attentive, and the atmosphere was relaxing and inviting. However, I’m lowering my rating slightly because the restaurant lacks accessibility options for elderly or mobility-impaired guests. My elderly companion had difficulty accessing the bathroom, which was two floors up with no elevator or ground-floor alternative. This made the visit unnecessarily challenging for them. If the restaurant could provide an accessible restroom on the ground floor or offer assistance for guests with mobility issues, it would make a huge difference without compromising the fantastic dining experience. Still a great place, but hopefully, management can consider this feedback for future improvements!

I recently enjoyed a delightful "New York" dessert that was quite tasty! We really loved their cakes and pastries – they definitely hit the spot. The only little hiccup was the coffee; it had a bit of a bitter taste, which might have been due to the brewing method or something else. But overall, the atmosphere of the place is lovely! Oh, and I have to mention the generous size of their cake and pastry slices – perfect for anyone who loves a hearty treat! Plus, the location is fantastic. All in all, it was a really enjoyable experience! If they tweak their coffee just a bit, I’d happily give them at least 4 stars!

Hot location, great coffee and signature desserts. A must try if you are in Munich. we were lucky to get a window seat for an amazing view! Bonus points if you get one - try the first floor!

Delicious delicious delicious! We have tried their Chocolate cake and Munich cheesecake and loved all of them. The chocolate cake is rich, intense but not too sweet and didn’t leave the unpleasant fatty taste. The munich cheesecake is similar to carrot cake in my opinion. The flour is a bit dry, but a good combination with the cream layer in between and on top. Coffee and tea are well prepared and tasty. Staff were nice and attentive. A bit pricey but worth it.

We went in and ordered to go pastries on the first floor. We wanted to sit down and have a meal as well so we went to the second floor, sat down, and we were about to order when the waitress yelled at us that we ordered things to go and cannot sit up on the second floor. This was astonishing to us considering we were ready to order meals and sit down. Terrible experience, the waitress was so rude so we decided to just leave. We were about to support the business 2x, once on the first floor with the pastries we already purchased and again on the second floor to order drinks and food. Never coming back. Instead we left and just ate the pastries outside and found another restaurant to eat at.

Really central location. Entrance floor is for takeaway up but there is plenty of room upstairs. I had curry bowl from the daily menu. I liked it but price was high. Also we tried a dessert with ice cream. Employees were friendly.

We liked this location so much that we ate there twice! We were happy to get eggs and bacon for breakfast and later on an Irish coffee and cake for dessert. Yum! Sitting upstairs gives you a great vantage point to everything going on in the Marienplatz. Service is friendly and efficient and the food is delicious & reasonably priced.

Decent omelette and good ham and scrambled eggs. Served with nice orange juice and first rate bread and apricot jam. Pleasant and helpful staff in a bustling take-away with a little cafe too. Oh and damned fine coffee too. And the cakes… what a range of delicious sweet stuff.

I'm not a pretzel fan and probably only ate it a handful of times in my life. It's extremely popular in Germany as it symbolizes prosperity and good luck. I figured to give it another go when I was visiting Munich since Germany sort of specializes in pretzels. We noticed Rischart as we were walking around as they have appetizing displays of pretzels and variations of it. They seemed popular as there was a line at the two locations we discovered. I figured they must be good at pretzels and this was a safe bet. At the second location, we stopped by to order one. Customer service from the cashier was friendly considering how busy they were. The pretzel had a nice chew to it and the pieces of salt were nice. First few bites were good but it did get a little chewy for me. Good experience and now that I had a pretzel in Germany, I can say it's not my cup of tea.

Great for quick stop for a sandwich, Pastry and a coffee. Quick and efficient service

I stopped here for a mid-afternoon sweet treat. I got a hazelnut croissant, and it was good but not too memorable. There's a wide selection of pastries, all of which aren't too expensive. There's a bathroom upstairs--for customers it's free, otherwise it's 1 euro. Despite having ordered and showing the staff my pastry, I was told (rudely too) I had to pay 1 euro, which wasn't too fun.

Great pretzel, great location. The cafe is at the center of the main square. You get to enjoy your food and drink while enjoying the beautiful architectures and street music performed by street musician. The line was pretty long and the ordering was a bit chaotic since it is first come first serve with multiple registers. People were cutting and getting cut. But, overall very worth it!

I love the sandwich options. Always a good choice. Fast take out food when you're on the run

Absolutely delicious bakery in Marienplatz. Such a variety of things you know and never knew existed...from croissants to Bavarian pretzels stuffed like a bagel with cream cheese & chives (amazing btw). The also have a variety of homemade sandwiches and coffees! I had the Apleschacke and Cappuccino-delightful!

My wife and I came here to celebrate my birthday. After buying three slices of different cakes and two Milchkaffees at the service counter we were told that we were not allowed to enjoy our purchases in the restaurant. And not told very nicely either. There were no signs indicating eat in or takeaway, which would be a simple process fix. We thought that we were to buy our goodies and then take a seat. I understand that working with tourists every day must be quite painful, but a restaurant such as this must be staffed by someone who enjoys that type of work. This restaurant is a poor representation of Münchner hospitality to visitors. Not allowing this to spoil our experience we enjoyed the cakes in a quiet nearby courtyard. The cakes, especially the Fidelioschnitte, were excellent. Not good enough for me to ever return though and I am a frequent visitor to München.

I wanted a pretzel and saw they have several varieties, including a cheese spread, pepperoni, cheese topping, and others. My pretzel with cream cheese spread was about 4.90€. My main issue was the server grabbing the pretzel and open mouth coughing on it before putting it in the bag. The cases for baked goods are filled with wasps flying around inside the case and landing on breads. Absolutely zero food safety standards and so many workers coughing. Perhaps come here towards the end of your trip otherwise you risk being sick during vacation which is no fun.

Horrible service! Waited for 45 min and waited never stopped to even greet our table, no drinks, and poor service. Even other customers complained about not being served and totally ignored. Thank you locals for being thoughtful at such a distasteful place.

Amazing assortment of pastries and cakes. Cafe in the bakery overlooks Marien Platz. Highly recommend having a coffee and pastry here if you need a break from beer and bratwurst!

Loved the idea of being able to grab some food and eat it and people watch. Being right there at Marienplatz where lots of other stuff was going on was great. This food and environment go hand in hand in making this a quick and easy stop for food. I got some pretzels for then and later for my flight back to the states. I would highly recommend this place if you visit Germany.

This location is full of delicious foods. It is very busy. You do have to have euros to use the bathroom. The food is fresh and beautiful. The items are all fairly priced. It is perfect for a quick bite. They also have a dining area upstairs.

Wonderful people, delicious food- bakery is amazing! We loved the cinnamon roll and croissant especially.

Rischart hat deutlich bessere Tage gesehen. Leider wurden einige Qualitaetsprodukte aus dem Angebot genommen. Man kommt heute ja auch mit weniger Qualität gut durch ...

Prepare to be ignored and then snapped at when you try to order. Service is brisk and resentful. I imagine it is difficult to work in a place that is full of tourists. Would not recommend at all. Find somewhere more polite and appreciative of your business. Bad service will ruin the food. Food: 3/5 | Service: 1/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5

We just got a slice of strawberry cake. There were 3 people serving and all of them were very friendly and they try to understand English. The ambiance was inviting. The cake presentation was pretty nice and tasted pretty good...it had a little liquor quick but not overpowering.

F- this place. They purposefully ignore English speakers. These Germans are the least efficient people I've ever met. Don't bother eating here unless you're a local or have hours on your hands. I'd get up and leave but I'm starving and desperate.

Rischart is located in the Marienplatz. They are well known for being an excellent bakery and restaurant. The coffee is strong and served hot. There were many sweet treats to choose from. The lines are look and people cluster around the displays. It makes it a little hard to decide what you want to purchase but it's a small price to pay for the experience. I ordered an almond pretzel that was the best that I have ever tasted. It was loaded with almonds, lightly sweet and perfectly crunchy. I also added an apple strudel looking item that that was wonderful. There was a small amount of custard under the apples that was creamy good.

The Rischart location at Marienplatz is HUGE - several floors with plenty of seating area indoor and outdoor! Note that the WC/bathroom is on the third floor. They have a large selection of fine bread and pastries on the first floor, and then desserts on the second, with a ton of items from the bistro and special desserts menu. I got the Latte Macchiato and the Cafe Amaretto - both were pretty good! Just a bit pricy. But overall, definitely a place to hit up if you're in the need of a place to sit and relax in the square!

This place is such a little gem! While visiting Munich, I ate here twice and loved it both times! The half liter cocktails are a definite star of the meal, and only 11£- which is cheap for what you get! The tartes are amazing, I loved the walnut and goat cheese flatbread/pizza/tarte so much & the salads are also fantastic! I definitely recommend sitting on the side of the outside patio where the high-top tables overlook the market! Would definitely recommend trying this place out!

I already wrote a super long and awesome review of this place on the old page. I mean. Just know what you want before you sit down. And the hot chocolate with chantilly Creme is the best

This is a great place for breakfast. Upstairs they have sit down service. They have a variety of egg breakfasts as well as various pastries, breads and breakfast desserts. Highly recommend.

Love the drinks and desserts Atmosphere is relaxing Lots of stairs to get to the bathroom But after eating such amazing dessert U kinda don't mind

Went here during a backpacking trip through Europe. Absolutely loved the cream cheese and chive pretzel.

Great food and awesome service! We came here for breakfast and the waitress was so nice and helpful! The breakfast portions are big, even for us Americans :) also very reasonably priced! Definitely worth a try for breakfast, desserts or even just to grab a coffee!

As you can imagine, this coffee shop has a high tourist footfall. The location is terrific. Coffee was not out of the ordinary. Great breakfast spread which I didn't try. They do have public restrooms on the second level (€1).

Came here a few times during our stay in Munich. Pretzel with cream cheese and chives to go was tasty. The mozzarella sandwich had good chewey ciabatta bread. We took all of that to go. We sat in today for a cappuccino and slice of florentiner apfel, which was delicious. Apples and almonds and raisins and more.

Sunday breakfasts with family. Stately empty. Place due to COVID-19! Very fast service , all items in menu available and top quality! Recommended in you are in center of Munich

We were wondering around Munich looking for a place to eat. We had already had food but we were still hungry and got looking for a nice bakery to sit down and eat. And then we found Rischart, we got a kaseckuchen, Himbeerschnitte And Zimtschnecke , it was delicious. The food was so good that we were fighting for the last slice of Kaseckuchen Benjamin-- age 9

We tried to get dessert and beer at this location in the outside seating area on the Marienplatz. The servers ignored us outright after seating us. They refused to take our order. Even the locals were telling the servers to take our order, but they answered rudely "a server will come soon". We probably waited a total of 15-20 minutes and got up and left. Other tables that were seated after us already got their dessert and drink. We think they treated us like this because my husband, who is Mexican/Salvadoran American, looks Middle Eastern. I've been to this location before with my sister and had no issues. I would never recommend anyone of color to this business establishment.
