Ein kleines süßes Café genau gegenüber dem Planetarium mit leckerem Eis, Kuchen und wunderbarer Schlagsahne. Und sehr freundlicher Bedienung. Unbedingt besuchenswert.

Ein wundervolles Kaffee, dass uns einen Traum an Torte erfüllt hat, was sonst nicht in ihren Angeboten enthalten ist. Zubereitung mit sehr frischen Zutaten vom Markt. Die Torte war leicht, zuckerarm und lecker, getoppt mit vielen Früchten, gefüllt mit leckeren Biscuitböden und Fruchtspiegel. Ich würde sie so wieder bestellen.

Good cakes and ice cream. The coffees themselves are rather mediocre though. The. Cappuccino lets you know that Italy is quite a far away place.

Very nice, but a little pricey for coffee. The waffles were amazing though, would definitely go again.
