Gemütliches Café mit authentischer Atmosphäre und sehr freundlicher Bedienung. Der Kuchen ist selbst gebacken, es gibt original Ostfriesentee, viele Kaffeespezializäten und heiße Schokolade. Alles schmeckt sehr gut.

Beste Ostfriesentorte! Cafe mit Baileys sehr lecker, Käsesahne mit Erdbeeren auch super lecker. Leider zu weit weg für jeden Tag ;)

Extrem leckerer Kuchen / Torte und co. Ein echter Geheimtipp. Nicht jeden Tag geöffnet, deswegen sollte man mal vorbeifahren und checken, meistens hängt nen Schild aus mit den Tagen an denen geöffnet ist. Zusätzlich kann man die an/abreisenden Besuchern in der Bahn zu winken.

Man sollte sich vom äußeren nicht täuschen lassen. Das Cafe mit dem Charme einer Gaststätte aus den Siebzigern weist durch seinen Kuchen zu überzeugen. Der Kuchen entspricht einer Konditorei und ist sehr lecker. Baileyskaffee war köstlich. Die Hühnersuppe war auch gut. Ansonsten gibt es neben Kuchen nur noch kleine Imbisse. Für den Kuchen lohnt sich ein Besuch.

Da der Ort geschlossen ist kann ich nichts empfehlen. Ich war umsonst da.
