"It’s a nice place in the corner of the market square with a relaxing atmosphere. Overall it was good but the servers were a bit negligent. The drinks were pretty good but the service was extremely slow! Even when there were only 6 parties outside, we weren’t even given menus - we had to instead go in and get them. After waiting around (approximately 20 minutes since arriving), we went inside to order since no server had come to us. It’s not as though there was confusion about if we were customers there since we were sitting on the patio furniture with menus and looking around/back into the cafe for help..."

"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"

"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 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."
