Had breakfast here last year and today. Food was excellent in both cases. The same person was serving, very gentle and good English.

The food was amazing! I had the Frühstuck Relax set and the portion was big, with many different and delicious dishes. Service could have been faster but I would certainly go back again for the food. Also love the decor of the place.

If you like good coffee, food made with care, and a place to chill, The Café Relax is the place to go! This new cafeteria managed by locals is just what we needed in town! María and Mourad are very welcoming and friendly, and put all their hearts in the service they give you. The place is super cozy, and the food is made from scratch. They're also starting to introduce gluten free and vegan options, so if you have some ideas, I'm sure they'll be very happy if you share them. I already did ;)

Mega lecker! Wir waren auf der Durchreise in Bensheim und das Café mit durchgängiger Küche war wirklich toll! Sehr lecker, sowohl Omlette wie auch Pfannkuchen (Baghrir)! Nette Bedienung und faires Preis-Leistungsverhältnis!

Great café with generous portions and exceptional service. The interior is cozy, and the view of the main street adds a nice touch, especially with its location near the market.
