Super cosy and royal place. The vintage aesthetics blew me away. The service was very friendly and made me feel very comfortable. The coffee and apple pie were okay but not as enjoyable as i would wish. Even so I will surely repeat my visit soon!

Ein ganz zauberhaftes kleines Café. Das Interieur versetzt uns in wunderschöner Weise in eine vergangene Zeit. Die angebotenen Kuchen und Torten sind hausgemacht und sehr lecker. (Und die Portionen groß!) Auch Sonderwünsche werden gerne umgesetzt (Zitronensorbet mit Zitronen-Limo, anstelle Sekt :-)) Alles in allem sehr zu empfehlen!

A small but cosy cafe close to the Schloss Braunfels. A huge variety of fruity teas can be ordered. A good selection of cakes are also available. Seating is comfortable and the service is average. We had something to drink and some delicouis cake and a mouth watering pancake with cream and warm cherries. Enter and enjoy this delightful place.

Cozy cafe in the old center of Braunfels directly located beneath the awesome castle. They have a great selection of all typical tasty German at a reasonable price. They even have fresh German waffles with powdered sugar or whipped cream and thickened soure cherries. Sure, there is Black Forest cake and Frankfurter Kranz. Outside seating is breathtaking with the direct look at the castle.
