Ich komme hier sehr gerne hin um am Laptop zu arbeiten, weil ich die Atmosphäre mag. Die Mitarbeiter sind super entspannt und freundlich und der Kuchen... Leute, ein Gedicht, ich sags euch! Die haben auch salzige Sachen, die ich noch nicht alle probiert habe, aber die Gerichte, die meine Kauleiste besucht haben, waren auch lecker. Ich mag außerdem die Getränkeauswahl, weil sie nicht die üblichen Sachen anbieten und der Kaffee ist gar köstlich
