VitraHaus Cafe - Reservar una mesa

I hate writing not so nice reviews but this time I am doing it. I am only doing it because I really love Vitra, the passion and quality that they show in their products and campus. I believe they are the best in their field and I have been coming back to their campus several times per year... I even happen to own some nice chairs from them!...I have eaten many times at VitraHaus Cafe. It is a great place, really nice menu, good cakes and coffee, a bit slow on busy days but I will still recommend it 100%.However today I had a bad experience. I went with a couple of friends and with my wife and baby that is now 6 months. We arrived and ate at the cafe around 4, went for a walk on Vitra Haus, visited the museum "robot exhibition"and came back to VitraHaus to buy some things at the shop - everything went well. A few minutes before 6pm (closing time) we sat at the Cafe again because the baby was hungry and we asked if we could sit to quickly feed him and have a quick drink. the Cafe was still 50% occupied and we were told that we could have a sit but that they were about to close and therefore they would not serve us anything. We understood and immediately started feeding the baby that sat on my lap while my wife was holding his food and a spoon. Some minutes later a waitress starts going around the tables asking people to pay and leave since they had to close... We told her kindly that we would leave asap but we were obviously feeding our 6 month old baby... at 6:15pm we had almost finished giving the snack to our baby, some staff was cleaning up and there were other few customers still sitting. That was when another waitress approaches us and says "you have to leave immediately or I will call the security"... I was shocked with her attitude, specially because I was almost done feeding the baby and there was nothing wrong with us being there anyways...... I told her in a very friendly manner "please do! please call the security because we are not leaving until my baby finishes". Then she walked back to the counter quite upset saying to another staff member "we need to call the security". When I saw that happening I stood up and repeated my sentence so that all the staff and remaining customers could listen, something like "I am just trying to feed a baby... but please call the security because we are not leaving until he is done". After 2 or 3 minutes we were on our way to the car. We did not get anyone to apologize for what had happened and no one really cared.Despite this unpleasant episode I will go back and I will be recommending this place to others but the staff should behave more accordingly to the institution they represent - the amazing Vitra!

We like the Vitra museum and the exhibition very much. The restaurant fits perfectl to this ambitious environment. The menue is compact but the dishes are fresh and tasty and the compostions are well selected. Coffee and cake are extraordinaire.The only shortage is a lack of organisation for the service which seems to be overloaded from time to time.

Airy spacious cafe with large outdoor seating bonus on a nice autumnal day. The cakes were a difficult choice as they all looked amazing! Service was quick and friendly. A nice space to relax before the walk around the museum. I'll look at chairs differently forever!

We love coming here for cake and coffee. It's often very busy but during the warmer months you can sit outside and then there usually isn't a problem finding a table. The cakes are really good and the service is pleasant.

Good. Original. Fresh. Vegan veggie and full on Meat choices. There's a gill restaurant in the main building at the front. There's another cafe in the South Campus which has a delicious but limited menu
