"The food is extremely delicious.
With apricot jam, goat cheese, sesame leaves, and tomato they blend wonderfully together and is super cheap.
It is very crowded at night since people come for the food and atmosphere.
The food is served efficiently though.
Will surely want to try different dishes!"

"Cute little bar with mismatched furniture and eclectic decor. The food menu is small but creative. We enjoyed the pressed sandwiches we ordered!"

"The place is located close to downtown but in a really relax area, which I love because you don’t get the noise of the city but in few steps you are in the heart of the city.
I would put this place more as a bistro than a pure coffee. The prices are fair and have space inside and outside for when the weather is nice. They have a selection of fresh home made cakes that are really nice with the correct amount of sweetness. Their beer menu is very good together with the cocktails, better than their coffee selection I must say.
The only downside for me is the kind of atmosphere, the deco is pretty retro chic cool but every time I am there I feel kind of uncomfortable because attracts an specific customer that makes me feel uncomfortable. But again, that is just me."

They offer a small daily-changing variety of soups, sandwiches and bowls, as well as coffee, cakes, and a range of alcoholic drinks. It’s especially fun in summer, when you can sit outside and enjoy an Aperol Spritz or a glass of wine, while people-watching. It’s one of the few cafes in Nuremberg Old Town that’s open till 1 am.
