Heerlijk gegeten. De bediening is altijd vriendelijk en het eten en drinken heeft mij altijd goed gesmaakt. Ik snap de negatieve reacties niet. Ik kom hier regelmatig alleen of met mijn moeder, heeft altijd goed gesmaakt. Prijzen zijn vind ik persoonlijk voor koffie, gebak en eten gewoon marktconform.
