Fortunately, the former owner continues to create her baked masterpieces in up to nine different layers, for which there was no recipe template. Her motto: My cakes don't make you slim, but they do make you happy. They also serve various tarte flambées and hearty soups. Coffee in countless varieties and tea are served with style. Since the change of ownership, there are also vegan soups and lactose-free cakes, for example. Plus, an unobstructed view of the water.
