Also hat man sich gedacht: macht man doch einfach eine auf - und das Ergebnis kann sich wirklich sehen lassen. Neben Spaß, leckeren Getränken und Aufeinandertreffen mit Freunden und Bekannten, gibt es hier auch regelmäßig Auftritte verschiedener Bands sowie Elektro am Samstag. Man munkelt übrigens, dass Peter höchstpersönlich vorbeischaut.

I came in on Sunday morning at 10AM (when the cafe opens) and grabbed a flat white with my friend. It was pretty good. Inside, others were grabbing veggie and vegan items from the brunch buffet, where each item has its own cost and you just note down what you get on a sheet of paper and pay at the end. Sadly, I was too full from my early breakfast that day and didn't try anything, but I would definitely be open to trying it next time.

It's carried through in decorative minimalism from white walls to oak furniture. Sciencey vibes seem about right since cocktail experimentalist devised the menu of Scandi-influenced drinks. The house dill-infused gin and prosecco has a subtle hint of the herb garden. And the Earth Martini with beetroot vodka, birch sap and vermouth leaves an alcoholic tingle. On the downside, the waitress muddled our order, but when drinks are this cleverly themed and delicious, we're happy to smoke the peace pipe.
