Prima Bäcker mit vielen Tischen/Plätzen zum Verweilen und mit reichhaltigem Angebot bis hin zu belegten Brötchen, Kaffee und v.a. mehr. Tolles Ambiente in einem historischen, alten und sehr schön sanierten Gebäude. Hervorragender und freundlicher Service - sehr zu empfehlendes Kaffeehaus! Kehre hier gern wieder ein. Auch wegen der schönen Umgebung an der Elbe.

Leckerer Kuchen wie wir ihn in diesem Café gewöhnt sind. Vor dem Café findet man an einem Brunnen? Bänke, wo man Kaffee und Kuchenin Ruhe essen kann. Die Verkäuferin war sehr freundlich. Alles entspricht den Hygienevorschriften.
