Das Kaffee ist sehr ruhig und idyllisch gelegen. Eine große Auswahl an selbst gebackenem Kuchen, Waffeln und Kleinigkeiten. Sogar frisch gegrillte Bratwurst gab es. Der Service ist super nett und es hat alles schnell geklappt. Es gab sogar Eiskaffee mit Vanilleeis. Wir werden garantiert wieder kommen.

Gartencafe in der Nähe der Emsquellen mit vielen schönen Ecken, wo man draußen sitzen kann. Teilweise überdacht, so dass man etwas geschützt sitzen und Kaffee und Kuchen oder eine Bratwurst genießen kann. Man holt sich seine Speisen und Getränke selbst. Die Damen sind freundlich. Der Kuchen ist selbstgebacken und die Waffeln werden frisch zubereitet.

Been here a few times now. As always a very nice friendly Service. Lots of cake to choose from. The Coffee is always good after a nice long walk. Lots of seating space. Done out very well, Lots of bits and Bobs hidden away, so here is always something new to see. The prices are very fair.

Ein echt tolles Café. Torten werden selbst gebacken. Die Bratwurst wurde frisch gegrillt. Eine total schöne Garten Anlage urst gemütlich. Preise, mmmm, günstig ist es nicht, aber Leben und Leben lassen. Ich kann eine Weiterempfehlung aussprechen und komme selbst auch gerne wieder.

Das gemütliche Gartencafé lädt zum Verweilen ein. Die leckeren Torten und Waffeln sind besonders zu empfehlen. Bei schönem Wetter hat das Gartencafé regelmäßig an Sonntagen von 11:00 bis 18:00 Uhr geöffnet (von Mai bis Oktober). - Selbstbedienung - keine Kartenzahlung Schön war's. Wir kommen gerne wieder mit unserem Hund.
