Not as expected.. - Edit
I had really good hope for this place, but unfortunately they have only 3 vegan options. 1 cake that wasn't that great (and 10 non-vegan cakes), 1 curry and 1 bread with pesto. The coffee is okay, but they charge 1 euro for plant-based milk.

Ein zauberhafter Ort! - Edit
Freundlichsten Service selbst bei Hochbetrieb.

Und die kuratierte Auswahl an Büchern bietet von Kids bis Klimabewussten wunderbaren Lesestoff.

Fantastic concept in nice atmosphere - Edit
I really like the concept. The dining spots are between portrayed books. These are marked with notes of the staff, why they like and recommend it. You can read the books and then also purchase a
Read moreBut not only the visuality creates a nice atmosphere, also the friendly staff, who doesn't lose it's coolness once there is a lot of traffic, creates a comfy mood.
The daily changing selection of cakes made me choose a vegan apple pie. It was really fresh and quite low-priced.
Pros: Comfortable atmosphere, Friendly staff, Fair prices

Good vegan options but hard to find - Edit
In this cafe there are several vegan options available with high quality and they are affordable. But you have to search for them. Some are not listed to be vegan but they are, some are standing around in the cafe somewhere, do have a vegan sticker, but are not listed in the menu nor known by the employee. The menu is hard to read on top. It's full of information but it's hard to find the vegan options. This can be improved easily. The cafe has many advantages besides this. Therefore I do rate it as medium.
Read morePros: Several vegan options, Nice calm environment, food & juice quality high, Affordable, smoke free
Cons: Vegan options not known by employees except cook, Search around the Bistro yourself for vgn options!, The chaotic menu does not show all vegan options

Ganz nett - Edit
Außenbereich schön, Innen ganz schön eng. Milchalternativen sind vorhanden, allerdings „nur“ vegane Seele, Quiche und Chili sin carne zum Essen. Alle Kuchen sind vegetarisch…
Read moreDie Karte ist m.M.n. verbesserungswürdig, da zu vielen Speisen und Getränken Hinweise geschrieben wurden. Ist an und Pfirsich hilfreich, aber unübersichtlich.
Der Service ist sehr nett, Preise sind günstig.

What a cosy place! - Edit
I imagine myself coming back here when it rains to read through one or more of the many books you find inside. They also have a terrace for the sunny days.😉I had a cup of tea and a piece of their only vegan cake; You can choose your cup and your tea bag among the many different options yourself! As they are open late, and as I did not want to leave, I asked for the dinner options; There were only a vegetable stew and a self-made sandwich available. As I have read here on HappyCow, this is the normal number of options. Therefore, I would be happy to see more vegan options.
Read morePros: Cosy atmosphere, Friendly staff, Choose your tea cup
Cons: Not completely vegan, Not sure what is organic, Limited vegan options

Later in the evening there also was a band rehersing for sone time, it sounded great and set a nice atmosphere.

Pros: Very cozy, benches and comfortable seats, Extremely nice staff, Good food and books
Cons: Only two vegan dishes and (when I was there)a cake
