Wir waren mittags hier für Kaffee, Kuchen & eine Cola. Der Carrot Cake war wirklich sehr lecker (wird auf der Speisekarte auch als no1 bestseller beworben), der Red Velvet Cake dagegen eine echte Enttäuschung: trocken, wenig Geschmack und das weiße Frosting extrem süß - ich habe ihn nicht aufgegessen. Bei den recht happigen Preisen sehr schade… Der Cappuccino war gut, die Cola wurde im Glas mit Eiswürfeln gebracht, die leider aus gechlortem Wasser gemacht waren - entsprechend hatte auch die Cola einen latenten Chlorgeschmack. Zwar ist die Lage schön und der Service war freundlich und schnell, insgesamt waren wir aber eher enttäuscht und würden nicht nochmal hingehen.
