"We really love this café! It’s a great spot to spend evenings with friends over cocktails. We also enjoy coming here for breakfast.
The place isn’t overpriced, which is great.
We really like the black tea here. The Earl Grey is very tasty, and the way it’s served is especially nice"

"Went here twice during my stay. Had the usual beers and Aperol, service is a little slow but the seating on the side lane is perfect to people watch and chit chat. The weather was perfect so that made it even better. Did not try their food, except a pretzel and the nachos which were both too salty."
Ayush Jain
"Came in for lunch on Sunday 19/01 with parents and friends - I had the multiple cheese flammkuchen, cappuccino and fresh orange juice and was decently needed after a previous 2 nights of drinking. The atmosphere was also good, plenty of people, and the staff friendly with a smile 🙂👍"
