Very calm and nature place. Cakes, coffee and breakfast are all nice! Especially they have a lot of different types of cakes. It’s a bit far from central, and you can reach by bicycle as end of cycling road from central. It would be good place to have a break on your ride.

Worth coming to Germany for. If you in the area it's a must. The coffee and cakes are top quality. Lunches and dinners are also available. In summer you can order a picnic basket and sit put in the grass area. In winter you can drink your hot chocolate in the wooden cabins and watch the snow drifting past. My favourite cafe in Germany if not the world.

Absolutely amazing breakfast (we tried shrimp breakfast and vegetarian breakfast) and lovely service! It was great sitting outside in an inner court on a cool sunny morning and I was rather surprised, how quiet it was for a Saturday morning.
