In the same building as the tourist office. Delicious Schneke (we had the Zimt and the Apfel). The service was friendly, and the garden is a lovely place in which to sit. Coffee is inexpensive too.

Great cafe in a wonderful location. A bit touristy as it is literally attached to a tourist information site, but the coffee and cinnamon buns are delightful. The staff were friendly and pretty quick. The outside seating area is great for a summer day.

Uns gefällt das kleine Café in der Lübecker Tourismuszentrale nach dem Umbau unglaublich gut! Es ist sehr gemütlich und hell mit viel Liebe eingerichtet. Die Kaffeespezialitäten sind lecker und die vielen unterschiedlichen Schnecken-Variationen (neben der klassischen Zimtschnecke) sind überragend. Danke für den neuen schlafen Spot!

Ganz liebe Bedienung und so viel verschiedene Schnecken, dass man sich gar nicht entscheiden kann. War sehr lecker.

Sehr liebes Personal und eine tolle Auswahl an saftigen Schnecken. Was uns persönlich ein bisschen irritiert hat zunächst, war, dass das Cafe innerhalb der Touristen-Info war. Da war dann etwas viel los und bis man sich orientiert hat, hatte es kurz gedauert. Aber dann kann man draussen sitzen, das war schön.

Hier gibt es fantastische Hefeschnecken in verschiedenen Geschmacksrichtungen. Die Bedienung war freundlich, allerdings wurde bei den Getränkeflaschen die uns (große Gruppe) freundlicherweise an den Tisch gebracht worden sind, kein Tablett verwendet, sondern mehrere Flaschen zusammen am oberen Ende des Flaschenhalses angefasst. Meiner Meinung nach ist das obere Drittel von Flaschen, Gläsern, Tassen und ähnlichem "tabu". Dieser Bereich sollte aus hygienischen Gründen nur vom Kunden selbst berührt werden. Man kann drinnen und draußen sitzen. Draußen kann es wegen der Nähe zur Straße vielleicht manchmal etwas lauter sein, solange wir da waren, ging es aber. Wir kommen sicher wieder hierher. Bis man alle Schnecken probiert hat, dauert es ein wenig.
