Reviews
Apple strudel with vanilla sauce was fresh and tasty , definitely try it. They don’t have iced latte unfortunately, the other cold drinks include whipped cream and ice cream, it tasted okay . The coffee with a lot of milk was very small in size, also the coffee was mediocre. The waiter was rude and insistent on tip…
