SEHR leckerer selbstgemachter Kuchen, auch der Cappuccino und die heiße Schokolade mit Sahne waren ein purer Genuss. Uriges Café, nette Leute sitzen drin und die Bedienung war einfach nur herrlich. Zum Wohlfühlen! Wir kommen sicher bald öfter vorbei und probieren auch mal die Waffeln und Crêpes und was Herzhaftes - oder nehmen nur einen der perfekten Kuchen "to go" mit. Mhmm, köstlich ! Preis-Leistung stimmt. 1A!

Sehr guter Kuchen, netter Service und normale Preise. Wir gehen gerne und oft dort hin. Auch der Mittagstisch ist empfehlenswert. Eine Bereicherung für Heisingen

Etwas versteckt aber ein Geheimtipp. Hier gibt es sehr leckere Kuchen/Torten wie bei Oma scheinbar wirklich alles selbstgemacht und zu humanen Preisen angeboten Die Ausstattung ist ein wenig in die Jahre gekommen aber okay. Bedient wurden wir von zwei netten älteren Damen... dabei ging es eher familiär zu, inkl. kleiner Streitereien untereinander in Hörweite der Kundschaft

I just hope the lovely lady that took my order today gets to see this eventually. I got to the cafe and only had my card on me, no cash. I don’t speak any German and she didn’t speak any English, though she was willing to help me anyway. I used the translator app to ask if they were still serving food, since they were going to close in less than 1h. I was really hungry and wanted to find somewhere to withdraw money to pay. She didn’t let me. She gave a slice of their WONDERFUL marble cake, which was absolutely delicious and didn’t charge me, all of that, with a big smile on her face. Thank you so much for your kindness.! You made my day and absolutely warmed my heart.
