The place is nice and the staff is very kind. However, it would be great if they added more comfortable chairs and tables inside for long hours of work. They also have a good DJ to enjoy the music. Maybe adding bigger sizes for coffee could be a good improvement as well.

Lovely and quaint cafe in Tübingen! Recommended to everyone, especially the Frühlings menu. The rhubarb compote and mascarpone waffles were AMAZING. And the breakfast plate was so wonderfully curated, very good German breakfast. 10/10 vibes and wonderful outdoor seating.

The place was really nice in the center of the city, you got tables inside and out side, we take breakfast there and the food was really good, I recommend the waffles . If you are looking for good breakfast this is your place but take in consideration that is not that cheap. Breakfast: 9:00 - 14:00

Had iced latte here and it was delicious! The staff was very friendly and welcoming. :) It was a bit hot inside but it was one of the hottest days in Tübingen. Also the bathroom was so clean.+1 for the service! Thank you!

tried coffee there, despite there were so many people, service was nice, our orders came sooner than expected. but it was way too loud, if you are planning to meet to talk with friend, I do not think that it is possible there

I recently attended the first anniversary celebration at this bar cafe, and it was a fantastic experience! The atmosphere was lively with music and locals and regulars coming together to celebrate. As part of the celebration , they offered a free drink to all attendees, which was a lovely touch. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring everyone felt welcomed.
