Fast, friendly and delicious. The flavor was really good, and definitely healthier than the fast food options you normally find in a train station. We actually stopped here while driving the autobahn, and it was worth the few extra kilometers!

My favorite place to order on coffee and cakes, and comfortably sitting and waiting before my train comes.

Food was presented in an appealing fashion. Service was friendly, fast & forth coming. The seating area, although small is comfortable. I had the Grilled veggie Stulle (vegan), which tasted great. Also the large Cappuccino with oatmilk was well done & delicious. The prices are a little higher than expected but for that the food is varied, always vegetarian & a selection of vegan options available too. Will try the Porridge bowl in the future.

Staff member was very nice. Food was presented well and easy to pack and go. I didn’t know the fruit would have this extra syrupy layer to it which I don’t normally like with my oatmeal. Next time will not add.
