Nice and elegant cafe in the middle of old city of Linden. Gives the feels of ancient europe. Excellent ambience and very friendly service. Food is very "europe-ish", light and tasty, have a lot of vegan and vegeterian options. Will highly recommend it!

Ein älteres und heimeliges Café im kulturellen Stadtteil Linden. Wenn man das Café betritt, fühlt man sich wie Zuhause im eigenen Wohnzimmer. Super freundliches Personal. Das Frühstück war super lecker und frisch. Selten so ein gutes Frühstück gegessen. Einige spezielle Kaffekreationen und es gibt dort sogar Ovomaltine. Aussen gibt es einen Sitzbereich.

Exzellentes Café für Frühstück und zum Verweilen. Sehr interessantes Ambiente mit durchdachtem Design, bis hin zur funktionieren Kuckucksuhr. Frühstücksauswahl ist groß und lecker, genau wie der Kaffee. Das Personal ist sehr nett. Man kann auch draußen sitzen.
