Cédric Grolet Vibes in Ehrenfeld! Optisch ein echtes Highlight. Besonders die Zitrone überzeugt: wunderbar erfrischend, leicht und überraschend ausgewogen, ohne jede Spur von übermäßiger Säure, und weit entfernt von einer einfachen Sahneportion. Geschmacklich perfekt ausbalanciert und man spürt, dass sie mit viel Liebe zum Detail zubereitet wurden. Auch preislich heben sie sich positiv ab – deutlich fairer als in vielen Cafés der Umgebung. Absolut empfehlenswert!
