Gezellig rustig lunch café. Een welkome tussenstop voor de (lange) fietstocht. Het eten is er prima, de service is uitstekend en de mensen in de bediening zijn uitermate vriendelijk.

Heerlijke plek om na het museumbezoek te lunchen. Wij hadden het '12 uurtje'.

Na een bezoek aan het oorlogsmuseum hier in alle rust even genoten van een verkoelend drankje en een lekkere lunch. We werden snel geholpen door de vriendelijke medewerkster en er kan zowel binnen als buiten op het terras plaats genomen worden. Het museumcafé is vrij toegankelijk en kan ook zonder een bezoek aan het oorlogsmuseum bezocht worden.

We waren aan het fietsen en kwamen bij het museum langs. Konden we zo hup de brug op links af fietsend door het museum heen. Super leuk bedacht.

Zelfbediening, prijzen zijn goed te doen. Cappuccino is een aanrader, gebak is prima. Jong personeel maar wel vriendelijk.
