Der Kaffee war wunderbar und frisch. Ich mochte das gedimmte Licht und das Design im Raum sehr. Auch die Toilette war blitzsauber. Ich komme definitiv wieder. Ihr seid großartig!

We went for a glass of wine, ended up being a bottle. Great atmosphere, staff, and food. It's definitely worth a visit

Gemütliches Kaffee mit fantastischen Kuchen und weiteren Köstlichkeiten am Engelplatz in der Altstadt Rapperswil ! Ob Kaffee, Kuchen oder andere Köstlichkeiten, alle Leckereien sind hausgemacht und mit Liebe zubereitet. Das Lokal ist sehr hübsch und besitzt einen gemütlichen Charme. Auch die Terrasse mit Blick auf den Engelplatz und in Richtung Schloss ist perfekt, um zu entspannen und geniessen. Dazu eine sympathische Bedienung und ein angenehmes Ambiente. Alles, was das Herz begehrt!

Was für ein wunderschönes kleines Café! Die Chefin versprüht hier mit ihrer herzlichen und offenen Art genauso viel Charme wie das Café selbst. Definitiv ein Engel am Engelsplatz Der Kaffee schmeckt einfach super lecker und der Apfelstrudel war unglaublich gut . Und dass man hier auch mit Hund willkommen ist, das freut mich umso mehr. Wir kommen definitiv wieder
