Sehr lecker, günstiger Mittagstisch nach Art „Hausmannskost“, gute Portionen - täglich neues Angebot, tolle Auswahl und auch einige Standardspeisen a la carte. Auch der Kuchen + Kaffee sind absolut zu empfehlen!!! Freundliche Bedienung.

Ich war gerade da und hatte einen Latte Macchiato to Go. Selten ist die Komposition von Kaffee und Milch ausgewogen doch dieser Latte hatte die beste aufgeschlagene Milch und war heiss. Mehr… alles ist perfekt sogar die Sonne kam heraus. Personal war sehr freundlich. Weiter so!

Seit kurzer Zeit wieder eröffnet unter neuem Besitzer. Es gibt noch keine Homepage und Telefon -Anschluss. Die Auslage bei den Torten sind frisch und lecker aus. Es gibt auch einige warme Gerichte. Man kann drinnen und draußen sitzen. Sonntags ist auch geöffnet lt. Inhaber.
