This was mid afternoon hunger attack. We had just arrived from Budapest, & our eating hours were off kilter. The burger was a generous size for what we consider a junior cheeseburger to be. We asked for the beef to be cooked ' medium', & it was. There were only a few other customers because of the mid afternoon hour. We sat outside in the shade under the umbrella because of the hot day. It was a good average burger.

The little spot has two small sidewalk tables, about seven stools up at the bar and about eight tables. I stopped in for an early morning birthday beverage. The staff person that assisted me, Heidi, was super nice and a real treasure during my visit. I observed the Chef/owner come out often to chat with some of the regular customers. There are fresh cut flowers on all the tables, newspapers and magazines in this cozy little café.The place offers cakes, sandwiches, fruits, breads, breakfast and great hot beverages in the morning while during lunch they serve Indian food, soup, mezze, quiche and more. I ordered the soy milk hot chocolate (5CHF) and it was steamed well and tasted very good. They carry lactose-free and soy milk products, bonus points for this!There is soothing jazz music in the background, spotless restrooms and free secured Wi-Fi. It always gives me pleasures to write a review like this for a business that is run professionally, a staff person with a great attitude and all in a very cozy, welcoming spot! Well done. Thanks Heidi. Highly recommended!
