Nice café for breakfast, lunch or just a coffee with a delicious homemade cake. In summer times you can also sit outside and enjoy the weather with a glass of wine. The owner and service is really nice and sympathetic.

Das kleine, auf der Rüttenscheider Str. 143 gelegene Café bietet zum Frühstück einen sehr freundlichen Empfang. Der Innenbereich ist interessant gestaltet, die Bänke an den erhöhten Tischen laden zum wohlfühlen ein. Eine passende Speisekarte und sehr ansprechend ausgewiesene Speisen lassen die Zeit schnell vergehen. Parkplätze sind ggf. auf der Rüttenscheider Straße vorhanden sonst in der Umgebung. Es ist keine Kartenzahlung möglich, Filialen von Banken finden sich angrenzend. Alles in Allem ein toller Start in den Tag!
