Great little spot along the river for coffee, drinks, and snacks. We had coffee which I really enjoyed. Robust and flavorful. We also had sandwiches, which were made fresh to order. The service was wonderful. Nice seating outside along the river.

We stopped here for coffee and a sandwich. It's a very peaceful spot overlooking the river. The coffee was good and the chicken sandwiches were hand made, not pre-packaged. The outdoor seating was comfortable and the server was super friendly and helpful. It was a great experience and we will definitely be back!

We went there to listen to sini-mia and I was disappointed about the sound system, but everything else was great! The location is so beautiful I really enjoyed my time there!

Very nice spot for coffee or tea and other food. I was surprised tea was only €2 although they didn’t have any ‘normal’ tea. Cookie I had was very tasty but twice the price of the tea ;-) Lovely spot by the river with picnic tables and deckchairs to relax in. Music played was a bit loud.
