Cafeteria late-night snacks

Enjoy cafeteria food outside opening hours? That is possible.

Vending machine supply in our facilities 

Lunch in our facilities usually ends at 14:30 p.m. If you still want to enjoy warm food afterwards, you can order meals from our cafeteria snack bars. 

The order page, with our current locations, can be accessed via the following link:

As soon as you are logged in, you can proceed to the payment process with your order.

Pay attention to the deposit

Admittedly, the pick-up time can be confusing. Because that actually means the opening hours of the Späti. The Spätis are not accessible around the clock at all locations, but depend on the opening times of the university building. 

Important to know: In many Spätis we only sell reusable tableware. An extra deposit is required for this.
You can get it back if you bring the dishes past a cafeteria or bakery checkout. This is only possible during regular opening hours. 

The deposit can only be returned as credit to the MensaCard!

Pay 

The food must always be paid for directly when ordering.
There are various options for this: 

  • Payment via credit card 
  • Payment via giropay / paydirect (an account must be created for this) 
  • via instant transfer (the procedure varies depending on the bank) 

 

Attention:

A refund in the event of cancellation is not possible. If the food is not picked up within the stated shelf life, the purchase will be forfeited and a refund of the amount paid is not possible. 

We accept complaints and feedback mensa-spaeti@stw.berlin gladly welcome! 

Pick up the food via QR code 

After a successful purchase, you will receive a QR code. 

With this QR code you can pick up the food at the Späti (hold the QR up to the scanner). 

If you hold the QR code to the scanner of the on-site microwave tower, a microwave will also open and heat the food for you. The standard time for heating the food is 3 minutes at 600 watts. Basically completely sufficient. 

Reheating: 

If the food is not warm enough for you, you can hold the code against the microwave scanner again - it will then be possible to reheat it for 30 seconds. 

Cutlery: 

You can buy reusable cutlery from the vending machine or you must bring your own cutlery.
