Coffee: 4/5

The coffee was enjoyable, served at the perfect temperature. However, it lacked the velvety smoothness that could have made it exceptional. Still, it's a solid option for coffee enthusiasts.

Atmosphere: 3/5

The café exudes a charming vintage vibe, with photos from the 1940s and 1950s—which always strikes me as funny as a German because I recognize similar pictures from back home. If you take a closer look, though, the lapels sometimes feature symbols that are, well... not so nice (you probably know the ones I mean). All in all, I’m not a fan of those vintage vibes that paint a rosy picture of those times, because the reality was far from it.

Bottom line

A great spot to relax or enjoy brunch with family, offering above-average coffee and friendly service. Just be prepared for the vintage décor, which can sometimes feel a bit like nostalgic propaganda.
