Schöner Ort zum pausieren. Freundliche und aufmerksame Bedienung. Aromatischer sehr guter Kaffee. Tipp: Wer Wert auf heißen Kaffee legt, bitte lieber eine Tasse oder Pott nehmen, da bei einem Kännchen zu viel Wärme verloren geht. Das vielfältig angebotene Eis ist geschmacklich der Hammer. Bestes Nougat.- und Joghurteis was ich je "geschleckt" habe. Absolute Empfehlung und Wiederholungs"gefahr"
