Ancient and cute café with lots of sweet specialties. Also worth a trip when in search for a sweet gift.

Wie hier bereits anderweitig beschrieben: Das Café Elend bietet seinen Gästen ein besonderes Ambiente. Es ist tatsächlich eine Zeitreise 50 Jahre zurück in die 60ziger und 70ziger Jahre als wenn die Zeit stehen geblieben wäre. Unbeschreiblich ist das Angebot an Kuchen und Gebäck, alles in höchster Qualität. Grundsätzlich, aber insbesondere in einer kleinen, beschaulichen Stadt wie Bornhöved. Einzig Außen- oder Terrassenplätze vermisse ich im Sommer.

Wir haben letztes Jahr unsere Hochzeitstorte hier fertigen lassen. Wir wurden dabei freundlich und kompetent beraten und unsere Wünsche wurden super umgesetzt. Die verschiedenen Torten waren sehr lecker und haben allen geschmeckt. Um unsere Favoriten zu finden, hatten wir uns mit unseren Trauzeugen einmal durch die Auslage gefuttert und uns hat (persönliche Präferenzen ausgenommen) auch da alles geschmeckt. Die Anlieferung an unserer Hochzeit erfolgte wie besprochen. Wir würden hier wieder bestellen. :)

Eine Zeitreise - was Ambiente, Konditorkunst und Bedienung angeht. Liebevoll eingerichtet - Original aus den 60ern - von der Einrichtung bis zum Geschirr (das ist Nachhaltigkeit). Köstliche, selbst zubereite Torten, Kuchen und Gebäck in großer Auswahl. Freundliche Bedienung mit Charme und Erfahrung. Wir kommen wieder. Ich bin begeistert. So einen besonderen Ort findet man selten. So viel Liebe!
