Traumhaft schönes Schlosscafé in einer wirklich einmaligen Kulisse! Im höchsten Turm des Schlosses Elisabethenburg untergebracht und mit herrlichem Blick auf die Stadt Meiningen. Bei Kaffee und Kuchen gibt es auch keinerlei Abstriche. Wirklich einen Umweg wert.

Beautiful place to have a coffee, especially when it's raining or snowing. The cakes look delicious but are not as good as one might think in my opinion. The creme doesn't taste like fresh creme. The hot chocolate was very tasteful though and I definitely recommend that.

Wir hatten vorsichtshalber einen Tisch reserviert, was nicht nötig war. Ein tolles Ambiente und nette Bedienung. Wir haben ein Eis gegessen und es einfach genossen.

Zum ersten Mal habe ich in diesem Café Kuchen gegessen und mich sofort in die Kuchen verliebt. Der Kuchen ist so lecker und nicht zu süß. Auch die Kellnerin ist freundlich Ich werde eines Tages zurückkommen

Ein wunderschönes Café in traumhaft historischem Ambiente. Das ist mal eine Kulisse. Hier lässt sich der Kaffee und Kuchen hervorragend genießen. Untermauert wurde das Ganze mit freundlichem und nettem Servicepersonal.
