• "Food was tasty, lovely cinema-themed atmosphere."

• "It is a bit pricey tho compared to German standards."
• "Decor and interior felt very cheap and uncomfortable."
• "Looks promising from the outside but once you're inside it's boring and plasticky."

• "The only thing which could have made it flawless and a true gem of a place would have been if the service was a little friendlier and matched the vibe of the cafe."
