Nice and tasty. Not very fast, when there're many visitors, but still very pleasant.

Beautiful little cafe with a pretty outdoor seating area. The coffee tastes great and so do the waffles. The staff was very friendly. I recommend stopping by when in Baden Baden.

Really nice place, the staff is really friendly and helpful. They have the best schwarzwälder-schinken paninis I’ve eaten so far:) Coffee was perfect with crema and the dark wheatbear is also great!

Great spot and awesome friendly staff. You must go for their Zimtschnecke. Their Riesling and espresso are good as well.

Great coffee and the cake is great. It’s in a very peaceful setting too. Sometimes it can be hard to get a table but it’s worth persevering or just grabbing some takeaway.
