    Friendly welcome. Savory tarts, soups, sandwiches, desserts: very good with always a little touch of originality. I didn't taste the salads or the fresh juices. 3 tables on site or to take away. I highly recommend!

    (Translated by Google) Gertrude is a real eating fairy with a huge heart. Whether it's just to pick up a salad, soup or sandwich or if you want to get warm. She will always receive you with a smile and her natural joie de vivre. I can only advise you to take advantage of it. (Original) Gertrude est une vraie fée du manger avec un coeur énorme. Que ce soit juste pour passer prendre une salade, soupe ou sandwich ou si vous voulez vous installer au chaud. Elle vous recevra toujours avec Le sourire et sa joie de vivre naturelle. Je ne peux que vous conseiller d'y passer en profiter.

    I was passing through like so many other times and I wanted to know this place. Reviews really help you take the plunge. Gertrude, the boss, even if the first name can be confusing, is a very jovial, friendly, welcoming and sociable young woman. She is also very commercial, knowing how to accept payment by cards without imposing a minimum amount. Network problem? It has its own Wi-Fi. Everything that can be eaten is homemade. I just had a ristretto which was perfectly mastered and tasted good unlike some of its competitors who still struggle with good service. I will return next time, outside of intermittent fasting, to eat something because everything is appetizing here. Next year, it will celebrate its 10th anniversary. I think she will be able to mark the occasion because she is in no way indifferent to the opinions that people have left and to her loyal customers. Well done ...

    Everything is homemade by the owner who is really smiling and warm! The hot chocolate and pastries are to die for (special mention for the chocolate-orange muffin)! The service is fast and there is free wifi. I highly recommend !

👍 I’ve visit this place a couple of times and I’ve enjoyed each one of it. I always choose the same burger though. 7/10. The employees could smile a bit more maybe? I know it’s a hard job but well… smiling is free! I’ll be back 😌
