Bei bestem Wetter sind wir mit unserem Hund hier eingekehrt. Der Außenbereich war sehr gut besucht dennoch hat der Service und schnell und freundlich bedient. Der Crepes mit Erdbeeren und Nutella hat sehr gut geschmeckt, auch die Waffeln mit Erdbeeren, Vanilleeis und Sahne schmeckten hervorragend.

Super leckeres Eis. Die Eisdiele ist zum Glück nicht ganz so voll bei schönen Wetter und man bekommt noch einen Platz. Top service zu einem guten Preis

Die Besitzer machen immer einen sehr freundlichen Eindruck und es gibt kaum Wartezeit. Schön ist auch immer das kleine Hörnchen mit Mini Eiskugel zum Cappuccino. Die Waffeln sind super lecker und das Eis ebenso. Leider nur Barzahlung, das könnte noch optimiert werden.

Basically, a perfect experience. Everything was good! The space, the atmosphere, the service and, of course, the spaghetti ice and the coffee, were really good. If you've never been here, come on in!
