Ate here on a cold winter afternoon for a break from the city. It was really quiet! The cake was delicious. I feel like in winter it's very slow, so I'm glad I stopped by to show some support.

A great little cafe along the philosopher's path. The owner is a kind lady who was friendly. We ordered tea, beer, and banana bread. All was delightful. The bathroom was cute and clean as well, and the lady was nice enough to help us fill our water bottles before we continued on our walk.
