Innen ist das Cafe wunderschön, ein tolles altes Gebäude. Ich frühstücke hier sehr gerne. Aber auch die Kuchen und Torten sind sehr gut und ich nehme gerne mal ein paar Stücke mit. Man wird sehr freundlich bedient.

Haben uns einen Tisch für's Frühstück reserviert, war alles prima. Die Bedienung sehr freundlich und aufmerksam, das Frühstück kam zügig, war reichlich und sehr lecker und ausreichend. Es hat uns gut gefallen und das Ambiente ist sehr gemütlich. Zu empfehlen ist das Frühstück "Express".

Schön für eine kurze Pause und um in der Sonne zu sitzen. Kuchen sind selbst gemacht und ganz lecker. Handwerklich leichte Defizite. Z.b löst sich die Kuvertüre ab.

hervorragend, freundlicher service in witzigem oldschool ambiente (ehemalige weinstube der 60/70ger jahre) - kuchen & torten haben konditoren qualität. PS nach rückfrage: die backwaren stellt eine befreundete konditorin der beiden geschäftsfrauen täglich frisch her. eiskafee eisschokolade in vernünftiger größe "saisonal" d.h. nur wenns warm genug draussen ist.
