This is one of the many new pit stops in the new food mekka - Mathallen.
Upon seeing this place, the first thing that hit me was the quality of the baked goods. You didn't need to taste it to understand that this was premium quality. It looked fresh, and esthetically very pleasing. The interior created a cosy feel, blended perfectly with the industrial ambiance of the rest of the building. It is a place that invites you to sit down.
The ordering was somewhat hectic as I was unsure of where to order, and it didn't help that the crew looked as confused as I did. Keep in mind, this was their first day, and as such I would have to categorize the confusion as a charming childhood illnesses. I am confident that this will improve as each day goes by and the team find their flow. They were all very friendly and helpful and that is a great starting point!
They did not have espresso, however as far as I understood, that will be on the menu soon. Their coffee was a dark roast - very tasty, and definitely recommendable. I tried their "sjokoladepinne" (chocolate stick) which is a doughy stick with lots of chocolate. It was very tasty, and will probably be my choice in the future. The chocolate muffin was also rich tasting and definitely worth a bite.
Just as we were leaving, they served us a macroon (macron?) which is the most beautiful and delicious one I have ever tasted. And coming from someone raised in French countries, that should say something. HAVE ONE!
All in all: Great cafe, great food, great ambiance, great macroons! read more
