Probably not a good reflection of what the place was really like. Ordered waffles with chocolate and fresh fruit. The chocolate was thick chocolate flakes rather than melted chocolate, and the waffles themselves were quite dry and tough. Had to ask for cream. Also possible could have done with a tiny bit more fruit. They were 9€ each I believe.

Friendly staffDesserts & cakes
Perfect place for a perfect breakfast. Service was quick and friendly. Special heads up for the apple meringue cake. My god it was a perfection!!! 💕 The cake was so fresh it was melting in the mouth. Thank you! Keep on with the great work!
I really like this local, I am a regular customer. Young and energetic staff, very nice coffee and high variety of cakes, lunch options and treats such as crepes and waffles. I really like the location, it’s very cozy. Just a suggestion, I don’t feel very welcomed when I enter the place, staff barely says hello, can be embarrassing at times. That’s the only reason I put 3 stars and not 5!
