This is my dear friend's favorite coffee shop in Graz, and I totally understand why. Not only is…read moretheir coffee strong and smooth, and their food delicious, but it's such a nice place to hang out. There's indoor and outdoor seating, and we sat near the window to be able to look outside and people watch. It was so pleasant. I also loved the baristas made a little smile face art on the latte I ordered. It was so good, smooth and tasty. They had a little bar where you could add sugar and some flavorings to the coffee (my American self very appreciated this). They even had chocolate powders. Last, the bagel sandwich was YUM. A poppyseed bagel with pesto, tomato, spinach and egg, so fresh and delicious. They had a lot of tempting baked goods and sweets as well.

Apple streusel was fresh and tasty. Kid-friendly, and even has outdoor seating with blankets for smokers. Decor is intentionally rustic, but in some places a tad bit worn or sloppy (e.g. around A/C units) Strong recommendation for a casual morning!

In its new building, you'll feel comfortable and welcome right away. They serve very good drinks (teas, coffees or chocolate base beverages...) and some breakfast or snacks too. The nice surprise was that they have soy milk too, and their soy coffee latte is simply amazing! Hmmm...

We shared a tower for two with our choice of four rolls, cold meats, cheese, jams, soft boiled eggs, and coffee. I had the Kaisermelange with whipped milk and egg yolk. Words fail me! It was great. Our server spoke English and was very helpful.

I still haven't quite wrapped my head around restaurants having indoor smoking sections, but that's something you get used to here. The non-smoking section is harder to get a table at, but is very nice. I didn't try anything besides dessert, but definitely recommend trying the region's specialty.
