"Immer, wenn ich die Erzbahntrasse abwärts fahre, schwenke ich am Ende auf den Rhein-Herne-Kanal, mit freudiger Erwartung auf ein leckeres Eis im Harbor-Cafe. Das ist für mich der wichtigste Wegepunkt Richtung Duisburg. Das Eis schmeckte immer lecker....aber salzig....nach mehr.........."

"Very nice place with really good coffee. They even gave me a little complement in the form of a tiny ice cream ball to my cappuccino, which was a super nice surprise. The ice cream was very tasty and complemented the coffee perfectly. I'll definitely come here again and recommend it to my friends."

"The ice cream is delicious and well worth the stop in. The service is excellent. The staff were very kind and helped me out with a parking problem that I had back behind the building. I don't think I would have gotten out of the parking area without them!"

"Wir hatten sehr leckeres Eis, welches wir mit Blick auf den Hafen verzehrt haben. Personal war sehr freundlich. Weil das Wetter gut war, mussten wir etwas anstehen, aber da kann das Personal ja nicht dafür, die schnell gearbeitet haben."
