Der Kuchen ist toll. Das Ambiente traditionell. Der Service ist abhängig davon an welche der Damen man gerät - meistens haben wir Glück.

Wir sind eine Gruppe von Wanderern und kehren immer wieder gerne hier ein. Fantastischer Kaffee , Getränke sowie reichlich Kuchenauswahl und die Speisen sind total lecker. Das Personal ist herzlich und überaus freundlich. Die Preise sind moderat. Wir werden weiterhin bevorzugt unsere Treffen in der „Waldschänke“ abhalten.

Sehr unscheinbar von außen. Die Kuchen, Torten und Gebäcke sind nicht von dieser Welt. Habe noch nie so leckere Torten und Kuchen probiert.
