Das Eis ist absolute Spitzenklasse. Ganz selten so gutes Eis gegessen!!! Die Preise für die Eisbecher in Relation zur Größe sind mehr als fair. Einziges Manko ... 45 min vom eintreffen bis das Eis auf dem Tisch stand ... Die Wartezeit war damit wirklich lang. Gerade mit Kleinkind Daher der 1 Punkt Abzug!

Man sitzt schön draussen an der Sonne, Wenn man einen sitzplatz bekommt, aber wir haben kurz warten müssen, hat alles soweit gut geklappt. Ich fand mein Eis jetzt nicht so besonders. Mein Partner war zufrieden.
