"Super schöner Ort zum Entspannen und Erholen direkt am Kemnader Stausee mit leckeren Getränken kalt oder heiß vom Coffee-Bike (vom Latte Machiato über Waldbeer-Shake bis zum Chai Latte oder einfach eine eiskalte Cola), köstlichen Snacks (der Kuchen ist zum Dahinschmelzen), einer wunderschönen Atmosphäre und supernettem Service. Alles serviert mit einer Extraportion Liebe! Im Sommer gibt es häufig abends Live-Musik. Der Ort ist ein Träumchen. Immer ein Top-Ziel für jeden Ausflug am Kemnader Stausee und Umgebung. Danke, dass es Euch gibt!"

"I found this kiosk extremely chill and relaxing. Directly by the lake with lots of sitting opportunities. Very simple seats and tables but great atmosphere. People very very kind which I find important! The bike and walking road passes through making it ideal to relax and have a drink. I also loved the decoration, little bit hippie but suits the place nicely!"
