By entering this café, you step back in time. And that makes this café so attractive. Friendly service, clean toilet on the first floor. And tasteful cakes. But it’s especially the atmosphere of an old-fashioned living room why you should visit this place.

We were seated on the terras. The service was quick and good. We intentionally wanted just a small bite instead of a big warm dish (which most restaurants serve for lunch). The tosti, salami baguette and Flammkuchen were all great

Got some pastries to-go in the afternoon. The service was slow but the staff was friendly. They had a wide selection of pastries and cakes but I chose the ones which featured seasonal fruits. Raspberry & Blueberry Tart: The crust was perfect and the cream was tangy and sweet, in perfect combination with the sour fruits. Would highly recommend this one! Strawberry Tart: This one was less memorable. The flavours were quite separate and did not meld well that well together. The pastry base was too sweet compared to the tangier fruit and the gelatin glaze was too thick for my personal liking. If you happen to be in Cochem, it's still a nice spot to rest and people-watch. Their pastries are definitely worth a try!

We dropped by Cochem to visit the castle and chanced upon this cozy café with a lovely ambiance. The vibes are great, and the staff is friendly. We took our food to go as we were short on time. They offer a good range of pastries, tarts, and classic cream cakes. It’s definitely worth checking out if you’re in the mood for high tea, as they’re near the attractions.

Absolutely loved the cheesecake! I also ordered veggie Flammkuchen (forgot to take a picture :/)but was disappointed as it was nothing like a real Flammkuchen and had totally different ingredients than those mentioned in the Menu.

Very friendly staff. Nice interiors and good food. Had my kid's birthday party and the staff co-operated very well. Excellent cake with nice candles. Overall the best place for cake and coffee in the middle Cochem shopping street.
