The food was good and fresh and coffe was excellent. Enough vegan and vegetarian options. In a rather unexciting city, was a nice surprise to find this cafe.

Super tent met een heel uitgebreide kaart met allerlei lekkernijen. Erg lekkere broodjes die met liefde gemaakt zijn en hele lekkere koffies

De koffie , of t in cappucino vorm of andere is , is van uitstekende kwaliteit. De taarten zijn ook goed. En buiten de kaart om bestelden we 2 bagles met roomkaas en zalm . Gewoon geen probleem: maken we voor jullie. het plein waaraan het terras zit is een enigermate saai jaren 70 plein maar de kwaliteit , service en de ambiance binnen maken alles meer dan goed!
