"A very sweet Café in front of an old Market. Although it's not so big and tables are near to each other, we have had enough place near the window. But it will be not optimal for people on wheelchair or with children's car. It's not loud here, and even a bit romantic. We have had a tasty food with a quality products! The staff is friendly and quick. The only one star less is the price. I think it's a bit too expensive."

"Had a very nice time there! Staff was very friendly. I have to mention specifically about the Apfelstrudel, because it was one of the best I have ever had. Try it with delicious vanilla ice and cream! I managed to finish it before someone asked me to move my chair off the road luckily! :)"

"The location is fantastic, and the Apfelstrudel is absolutely delightful. The service could use some improvement, but overall it didn’t overshadow the experience. Prices are on the higher side, though the quality of the food matches the cost"
