To be frank, I loved the look of the place more than the place itself. The hubs and I thought that…read moretagescafé Schwabing had just opened, so spiffy did the place look and not quite totally spot on was the grub. I had a gorgeous-looking croissant served with a solid portion of raspberry preserves. -loved the preserves. The hubs ordered the Deftig, a small platter of toast, meat and cheese. The toast, thick-cut and toasty on the outside, soft and malleable just under the surface, was served with a hunk of fridge-cold butter. The result by spreading was a torn mess of bread decorated with clumps of butter. Meh. (The place has actually been open since Nov. 2013, btw.) The brie was OK; the cold cuts flavorful. I enjoyed the carrot-ginger-apple juice, but, as a HUGE carrot juice fan, really would have preferred it sans apple as the combo just tastes like a watery carrot-ginger juice. The juice serving is fairly modest and the price less so. The hubs ordered a cappuccino that was too hot and, sez hubs, the milk wasn't nicely integrated into the espresso. There was also mention of the capp not having 'microfoam'. Anyway, if you want a killer bevvie, then go on up the street to Necado before or after a visit here. You will NOT be disappointed.
Upon arriving, we were not sure if one were to order at the counter or at the table. As we sat perusing the menu, a friendly server came to take our order. Easy-peasy. The place is almost small enough to ask the staff behind the counter for the bill without them having to come over or without one having to leave one's seat. As we were attempting to pay, the folk behind the counter were busy doing something just beyond eye-contact range. I got up to ask for the bill and was quoted the price at counter. Wallet fetched and bill paid. Easy. Based on that experience I would think that ordering/paying at t.S. is fairly chill, so, really, do what you like in terms of that.
One can also sit at the window--sort of on a very wide sill--at quite short-legged tables resembling almost lil' foot stools. One faces the table while one's lower half faces a quarter turn the other direction. -all well and good for somewhat physically flexible folk, but for the hubs, who has back problems, it was not a good spot.
Attracted to the interior, I would like to return and, maybe, try another type of beverage and another nibble and hope for the best!
