Wonderful place for freshly baked pastries, delicious coffees, all delivered with a big smile. Conveniently located at the start or end of the Gasteiner Hohenweg trail. Also extremely dog friendly-were very kind to our little dog, who needed a drink and got a bowl of water!

We came 30 minutes before the cafe opening time and the view was spectacular, we walkd a bit amd played on the swing. When the cafe opened at 10am they lady told us that there is only drinks and cakes are available, no breakfast till 11am. The hot chocolate tasted good tho i would’ve like it hotter than it was served. The service was good amd the place looks cozy and nice.
