    Good variety!

    There was a good variety the day we arrived, my favorite was the coconut macaroons. Assortment of jellies and honey. Breads also. Things are reasonable, we went for coffe 3x and was happy to enjoy it.

    Thank you for your kind review. We try to maintain a variety of sweet and savory items and have something for almost everyone. Those coconut macaroons are definitely a winner with our customers. We hope to see you back again soon!

    Best German Chocolate Cupcake, ever.
