This cute cafe can be really busy! It is cute and cozy and a great pause during the Park visit. The only negative I have is the prices.. but the taste, variety, and staff is all exceptional.

We always take our in-laws here, because they love it and honestly, so do we! It’s such a cute spot right by the lake. Everyone has their own favorites, but the vegan and vegetarian options are really good. The desserts are great too. On a sunny day, it’s awesome to grab a table on the terrace, have a coffee or a bite to eat, and just watch the ducks on the lake. The place is super popular, so you might have to wait for a table if you’re with a bigger group, but it’s totally worth it. We always have a lovely time here and never get tired of it!
