A great spot for lunch and cake before exploring the surroundings. They let me use the WiFi and move to sit by the garden windows. Some of the vegetables were from their farm and the spaghetti with tomato sauce was simple and delicious. They even gave me an umbrella to keep as it was raining.

Quiet spot, just a short walk from the station. I had the salad breakfast which included freshly baked bread, soup and coffee. Everything was delicious! They also sell vegetables, cakes, chocolates, and coffee at the shop.
