"🍰🍬An awesome traditional place with medium prices and excellent service. The coffee had once the biggest coffee grinder of the world, alongside with the greatest grinder collection. ☕ This place is an great travel to the past, whereas you enjoy the finest chocolate and the best cakes in Duisburg!"
