Nice little cafe. Menu is not huge, but with sufficient variation which makes it easier to make a choice. Seating is available inside and outside. Service is quick and very friendly. Conveniently situated near the Spar and various other businesses. Ideal place to grab a piece of cake after visiting the gym next door.

Try the berry compote waffle with ice cream. Fresh, handmade batter, the dish is crispy and soft and delicious and huge. You'll need a second person to help you.
