This cafe is so cozy and cute. I really love the decor and the atmosphere of the place. The people there are super duper nice and friendly. They have an assortment of beverages and foods. It is quiet and peaceful, perfect to just sit and read or hang out with friends. I would definitely visit again! :)

We loved this cozy little place. The atmosphere is just perfect but keep in mind that they have limited space. The taste of our coffees was the best so far in Germany. We didn’t even have to ask for extra hot coffee. The staff were super kind and friendly. We paid around EUR 3-4 per person. I highly recommend this place. Thank you very much.

Very nice atmosphere and nice service. I could see myself becoming a regular at this cafe as they have nice coffee and free wifi, they also have a nice music playlist. It’s a good cafe if you wanna get some work done or do some readings or meet with friends. So also a family friendly cafe as they have a toddler changing bed in the toilet.

I love the homemade bagel, the friendly service, and the interior decoration. The vibe in the morning on weekdays is also peaceful and relaxed. But the place always gets crowded and full on weekends.

I like the decor here a lot, the coffee and cake are great, and the service is lovely. I do wish there were more comfy chairs, but that is hard to accomplish in such a small café. Outdoors in the afternoon sun is wonderful.
