An intoxicating aroma of sugar and spices greets patrons as they enter this cute cafe in an old-timer house, making it almost obligatory to order a bun, brownie or indulgently rich slice of cake with your tea and coffee. In summer, the shady garden seating beckons; in cooler weather, a traditional stove inside keeps everyone toasty warm.
Note that soup is available at lunchtime in winter, when opening hours can be reduced.
