Coffee is really nice at this place…read more Ground floor is mainly a coffee shop. You can buy grounded coffee or just the beans if you want. They have a nice selection of coffee makers as well. If you just want to seat and have a coffee, go upstairs! there is a lot of space. I like this place because they have a large choice of original beans and flavored drinks. The staff is really helpful.

This place seems to have a lot of good reviews, but sadly, I did not have a good experience when I…read morewas there. The two pastries that intrigued me the most were their lemon tarte and a fluffy German cheesecake called Käsekuchen. Ideally, I would have gotten both, but I was so full from eating everything else in this town that I had to settle with having just one pastry for an afternoon snack - and I went with the Käsekuchen. While I liked that it wasn't too sweet, it ended up being very eggy and altogether very meh - a first for me when it comes to pastries in France. The tea I got to go with it was also not very memorable. While the interior is cute - rustic, with lots of Teddy bears everywhere - the service was very lacking, especially compared to other places in this town. Maybe my experience would have been better if I had picked the lemon tarte or tried some lunch or dinner items, but I'll probably skip this place next time I'm in town.

If you love Italian style deli cookies then be sure to grab a box, not a bag, a box and pick out your favorites. If you opt for a bag, you will be sorely disappointed and left wanting more. The bakery is a standard, small European bakery offering streudels, breads, pastries, eclairs, and the like. I have only had the small cookies that are sold by weight, brownie, and streudel, all of which were simply divine. It is hard for me to accurately assess pricing as I live in Zurich where everything is overpriced and don't taste nearly half as good as the offerings at this bakery. I typically get a kilo (what can I say?) of cookies and a brownie and spend around 15 euro. The women are friendly and understand enough English to allow you to pick out your own cookies that they pack up for you. The only drawback was during my last visit a very tacky U.K. family came in and started taking a ton of photos (with flash). Mind you this shop is small so I am guaranteed to be in every photo, I was thoroughly annoyed by their horrendous behavior. Closed from noon-14:00

Ok. So we should have stuck to their pastries based on the previous reviews, but we went for lunch…read more Service was generally good. Waitress was friendly. Menus did not offer an English translation which may have impacted our ordered and experience. Food came out quickly. We ordered braised pork and the baked fish. Both were poorly presented. The fish was tasteless and watery and the pork was hard to look at. The waitress even laughed a bit when she placed it in front of my wife. It was big shank with a quarter inch of slimy hide wrapped around it. Once we pried the skin off with our butter knife (no steak knives given) what lay beneath was a dark pink flesh that seemed reminiscent to what the Donners must have had for dinner in the Sierra-Nevada - except what they ate was probably cooked better and less greasy. The rice and sauerkraut were the best parts of our meal. The wine was good too. The people around us chose flatbread type pizzas and they seemed to love them. I apologize to any other restaurant to which I have given a harsh review. This was one of the worst meals I've ever had. Next time I'll stick to the pastries
