This pasticceria has been around since 1880! There is plenty of seating both upstairs and downstairs, and you can stand by the counter if you just want to have a quick coffee and pastry. There is a bathroom located upstairs and is kept in good condition. We came here in the morning to order some espressos and a few pastries. I'm a pistachio lover and the "Rocher pistacchio" was my favorite. They also serve slices of a variety of different cakes, including pistachio, lemon, and chocolate. With so many pastries, you simply must come back and try them all. I gladly give this venue five stars out of five.

Was on empty and needed to eat REAL food after a 6 hour train ride. Healthy options, specials and great smoothies sold me. Followed my delicious salad with an iced coffee and I was revived! Then a week later, staying at an airport hotel, we came here and even though the kitchen closes at 3 pm, and it was 3:20 pm (sigh) the owner said we could order whatever we wanted. I nearly cried. He must have sensed the hangries coming on, big time. I had the vegetarian club (€10) and my bf had a pastrami club (€11). While I usually go with whole wheat bread, the white bread was just great. Both of us had a smoothie, pure fruit and veggies, nothing more. And we had to follow it up with a coffee! The bakery case was tempting with cookies, pastries and cakes. Really appreciate the owner's kindness and really enjoyed this charming cafe.

Location near the lake but without view to the lake. More of a neighborhood meeting point then tourist place.

Wrap with nutella, pear, and chopped hazelnets, was so-so. I think you get the point... But as you can see from my photo, the view of the lake doesn't get much better, as the caffe is literally right next to it. As a result of the location though, this place can get busy and you might have to wait a bit for a table. The staff are okay friendliness. Overall, come for the view / atmosphere, but don't expect to be wowed by the food.

I had the bolognese pasta the portion is tiny and the noodle is undercooked and there's barely meat in the sauce. My partner had lasagna , it looks nothing like a lasagna and didn't taste good either. There's a very big menu of cocktails. I had the basil smash, but it's overly sweet and artificial flavor and color added looks lime green. The outdoor space with view is limited and very tight. Service is pretty bad, can hardly get anyone's attention.
