This small lovely coffee house on the animals court at the Neustadt in Dresden is a gem. The cake was delicious from first to last bite. Also the look We came in our bicycles from the old Dresden. What a treat!

Such a delightful quaint little cafe. Traditional, antique, basic but lovely. As we say, not so schnörkellos ohne aufgedrückte hygge. Lovely cakes, coffee and a small plates menu. We enjoyed some cappuccinos, talked a bit but then you should also leave. No laptop wifi coffee drinkers, it's for a nice quiet chat, and leave. I'd return, try some food whilst the shops are open in the kunsthofpassagen.

Have some of the tastiest cakes I've eaten most of which are vegan. if they sold a recipe book I would definitely buy it! Their golden milk is also one of the best I've had.
