Lecker selbstgemachter Kuchen (Rhabarberkuchen wie bei Oma), hätte gerne etwas mehr sein dürfen - ich komme trotzdem gerne wieder. Sehr nettes Personal.

Kleines, nettes Café mit sensationeller Kuchenauswahl. Das Café besteht aus 2 Teilen mit einer überdachten Passage in der Mitte. Generell ist es etwas eng und die Einrichtung sehr traditionell. Trotz stark gehobenem Altersdurchschnitt der Zielgruppe ()waren wir aber mit Baby und Kinderwagen sehr willkommen. Die Bedienung war auch sehr freundlich. Eine toller Tipp für ein Treffen bei Kaffee und Kuchen

We are Australians travelling and we had break from driving here in Kandel and found this little cafe. The ladies who run it are so friendly and they have made it very cosy and beautiful. We were lucky as the sun was shining so we sat in the courtyard. They have decorated the courtyard and the tables with lots of flowers and plants and colourful items. Apart from all that, we had coffee and cake, and we fought the cakes were wonderful. Beautiful flavours and not overly sweet. Prices were very reasonable. Quality of food top notch. Portions were generous. Cannot ask for more. The ladies were very busy. We had to wait ten minutes for a table. But table service was very prompt and efficient. Well done to the ladies running Cafe Schaaf. We are happy to have spent time here.

Nettes kleines Cafe mit selbst gemachten Kuchen und freundlichem Service. Die Corona-Regeln werden hier vorbildlich umgesetzt. Im Sommer kann man sehr schön im Freien sitzen.
