About

Cakes such as the Schoko Traum and pistachio-vanilla cake draw regulars, while carrot-lox bagels, vegan quiche, and paninis make this small Kalk café a good stop for breakfast or a quick lunch. Seating is limited, so several reviewers recommend takeout; the menu also includes non-vegan items, despite reviews describing earlier visits when everything appeared vegan.
