Wer leckeren Kaffee, mit viel Liebe zum Detail und Ruhe, haben möchte, sollte hier hin. Nonsens auf die Großen. Nein Scherz, auch davon kann ich selten die Finger lassen, wenn es einen in der Nähe geben sollte. Ein Inhaber geführtes Kaffee in dieser Gegend hat für mich definitiv immer Vorrang vor den Großen! Fazit: Nicht weiter überlegen und suchen, den es gibt einfach keine bessere Alternative auf diesem Niveau.

Cute interior, a little bit unfitting for the cityscape on the outside though. Can’t compare to the cute houses in the area otherwise the drinks (milkshake and Frappe) were good but a little too sweet for me and the cakes were alright. I regret not choosing the apple cake instead of the mango and strawberry one.

Bei jungen Leuten besonders beliebt, denn hier gibt es eine große Auswahl an Chai. Latte & Co.. Aber auch jung gebliebenes Publikum findet sich hier gerne ein. Ein sehr hübsches Ambiente mit viel Holz und Schiefertafeln. Die Kuchen und Torten sind selbst gemacht. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und schnell. Wir haben uns hier wohl gefühlt. Vielen Dank
