(Translated by Google) The cakes on offer were exceptionally delicious and of high quality. The cheesecake deserves special mention; it was incredibly flavorful, though also quite rich and filling.
To our pleasant surprise, we also received two complimentary desserts, which were served to us personally by the manager. These, too, were outstanding and perfectly complemented the overall culinary experience.
The drinks were also well-prepared and complemented the selection perfectly. The excellent value for money is particularly noteworthy, as we only paid around €15 in total.
The service was consistently pleasant: The waitress was extremely friendly and attentive, and her humorous manner created a relaxed atmosphere.
Highly recommended overall, especially for anyone who wants to enjoy coffee and cake in a pleasant setting.

Die angebotenen Kuchen waren ausgesprochen lecker und von hoher Qualität. Besonders hervorzuheben ist der Käsekuchen, der geschmacklich überzeugte, allerdings auch sehr gehaltvoll und sättigend war.
Zu unserer positiven Überraschung erhielten wir zudem zwei Desserts kostenfrei, die uns persönlich vom Manager serviert wurden. Auch diese waren geschmacklich hervorragend und rundeten das kulinarische Erlebnis gelungen ab.
Die Getränke waren ebenfalls gut zubereitet und passten sehr gut zum Gesamtangebot. Besonders bemerkenswert ist zudem das ausgezeichnete Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis, da wir insgesamt lediglich etwa 15 € bezahlt haben.
Der Service war durchweg angenehm: Die Kellnerin war äußerst freundlich, aufmerksam und sorgte mit ihrer humorvollen Art für eine entspannte Atmosphäre.
Insgesamt sehr empfehlenswert, insbesondere für alle, die Kaffee und Kuchen in angenehmer Umgebung genießen möchten.
