This place saved my hungry belly more than once. It's one of the rare places that I can eat (food…read moreallergies) before 10am. The portions are quite filling, and varied. I got some sort of chickpea/grain loaf which had a very good flavor, but was kind of dry. There was a hummus dipping sauce though and I ate every last drop of that, very yummy stuff! One day we showed up after 2pm and they had some stuff, but were no longer serving full meals, however they did have some chia pudding stuff with pineapple and oats that was very tasty, and I would definitely get that again.

A pleasant and relaxed cafe and restaurant, quite 'granola' but that's not a criticism. They have a small menu with limited vegan options but, the day I went, the main dish was vegan - hummus (not very good); quinoa with pumpkin seeds; chickpeas with collards; carrots and cabbage; a ?tahini sauce?; mâche; some bread. Not gourmand but simple and healthy. Can't complain - filled me up and it all cost only 9 EUR. Nice relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. Very self-service - they bring you your food but you gather your utensils, glasses, water etc. Glad to have found this place.

The cafe serves cake, hot drinks and a few other items while you wait for your train. I really do like the concept. Old waiting rooms given new life! I really love that, but it unfortunately does not change the fact that the cappuccino that they serve here is really horrible. It tastes of burnt coffee and hot water. So the two stars are for the concept, not the coffee.

The grandiose store front does leave an impression on you. The rich smell of roasting coffee beans is enough to wake anyone up. This place has an easy to understand setup. Long counter on the left for the cafe and a long counter on the right for the store. As we were not purchasing any beans to take home the store with it's seemingly endless selection of different coffee blends didn't get much attention from us. The wife ordered a coffee and I a hot chocolate. I don't remember seeing any tables, just one long counter that snaked it's way around the edge of the store with stool after stool lined up. The wife gave her cappuccino a 10 out of 10. This is coming from a woman who's highest score at any Australian cafe has been 3! She is absolutely the pickiest person when it comes to coffee. I've tasted very good hot chocolates, but this one... this one... I've never had my breath taken away by a hot chocolate before. It was so silky smooth and rich in chocolate taste that I was considering marrying it. The finest blend of chocolate and hot fresh milk. The waitress seemed very happy with our praise. The prices were reasonable and the service was fast. I wouldn't hesitate to come back here again.

I had a mint Diabolo and was very pleased with the large portion of mint syrup in the glass! However, the inside of the place is rather dirty and the toilet ( one and only one for all ) is the worst thing ever, reminding me of dreadful experiences as a kid on Yougoslavian highway stops! Between the sticky floor, the smell, the bugs and the absence of of a seat, I felt I should have refrained from even entering that pit of doom. Be warned! For staying outside between trains, it's perfect!

This charming little café caught our eye, and as soon as we sat down, the service was immediate. The gentleman who greeted us seemed pleasantly surprised that we were actually ready to order, as he mentioned that many visitors simply sit at the outdoor tables to rest, and he had to shoo them away. Fortunately, we knew exactly what we wanted: one espresso and one café crème. Both were excellent. They were beautifully balanced, with just the right combination of sweetness, acidity, bitterness, body, and aroma. It was one of those simple coffee breaks that ended up becoming a memorable part of our day. Tip for fellow travelers: customers are permitted to use the restroom inside if you purchase something. Since we stopped in only for coffee, I cannot comment on the food menu.
