I came here on a friend’s recommendation. Unfortunately, I have to agree with other reviews about the staff experience. I ordered an iced tea, and since it was listed as a house tea, I simply asked whether it contained black tea (my concern being caffeine). The waiter seemed surprised by the question and remarked that it was “weird” and that no one had ever asked him that before. When his more senior colleague joined, he repeated the story in front of me, again pointing out how unusual my question was. This felt dismissive and not very customer-friendly. The atmosphere itself isn’t bad, but the service left me with a negative impression. I wouldn’t come back as I had the impression that staff wasn’t neither too instructed nor too friendly. Needless to say I had something else than a tea.

Empfehlenswert für eine solide Auswahl an Siebträger-Kaffees und entspannte internationale Atmosphäre.
