New in Kalk for a few months, I just found this café. I enjoyed a cappuccino and a nussecken on the terrasse. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Makes me love my new Veedel !

I knew it would be good even before i visited, the Menu is amazing. I love, love that everything is vegan, vegetarian and so. #lactosefree heaven. Coffee was great, the cakes even better. I especially liked the strawberry-chocolate one. Also, our waitress, an amazing person and multilingual, i didn't get your name, but thank you, it was amazing. The only 2 issues are prices a bit high and there isn't nearly enough room. Smallness of the shop causes kinda noise. I wish you a bigger but still cosy place
