Very cute coffee shop, nice food and great service. I wouldn't have thought I'd say this: full of children but still great for working! Bring your headphones and enjoy.

Sehr schönes und modernes Café. Aussicht und Ambiente sind top. Kleine Karte aber dennoch sollte jeder was finden. Das Frühstück und der Kaffee waren lecker. Die Bedienung war auch sehr freundlich. Leider mussten wir sehr lange auf das Frühstück warten.

Wer es etwas moderner mag ist hier genau richtig. Schönes Café mit sehr freundlichen Bedienungen. Hier bekommst du nicht das "klassische" Frühstück wie in unzähligen Cafés. Ebenso kann man hier täglich abwechselnde Mittagsgerichte einnehmen. Ein großer Pluspunkt, auch kleine Kinder sind hier sehr willkommen. Der einzigste kleine Kritikpunkt aus Sicht meines Mannes: Wenn du als Mann wirklich Hunger hast sind die Portionen etwas klein. Können das Café aber absolut empfehlen.

Update! Just came back today and had the "Strammer Schwarzwald" - bread with ham and fried egg! Soooooo yummy! Love Vanilli's. Super friendly service and the place is very cute. You feel like home from the moment you walk into the door. They have great coffee with milk alterntaives if you need it and a great selection of non-alcoholic as well as alcoholic drinks (my favorite non-alcoholic was the Holunder Wunder). I had the avocado toast, and it was delicious. The cost of the whole breakfast was very reasonable and I will for sure come back! Didn't shop anything, but there is a display of things to buy from local vendors.
