Carrot café
An unbelievable variety in choices of bagels, sandwiches and hamburgers is what you will find at Carrot Café. But the restaurant and the bakery are well-known to focus on iconic American classics. So during your meal don´t forget to save space for the thick, rich cheesecake dessert. It´s a true must-have here! The soft, dense cheese filling is the perfect complement to the crunchy base made from crushed biscuits lining the bottom of each slice. They also offer a Nutella cheesecake, bringing an even creamier consistency to this already very sinful dessert.

Pudding
Inspired by the magical world of Lewis Carroll´s Alice in Wonderland, Pudding is sure to hypnotize your senses with its dramatic interior design and delicious sweets. Humongous red mushrooms grow up to the ceiling. Delicious homemade cookies and carrot cakes are featured in the pastry case. But Pudding is also a new generation of a coffee shop, with their core concept being a combination of the following: eat, play and think. Workshops, board games and a great selection of books transform this place into an educational playground. The child-friendly environment also attracts many parents to hang out there and spend quality time with their kids.
