    Bitter Sweet

    Prettier than a little girl's bedroom, this pastel-washed, flower-strewn cafe is shoehorned into a courtyard in Bohnenviertel. Marcel keeps the scones, tarts, aromatic speciality teas and good vibes coming. It doubles as a shop selling homemade jams, chocolate and old-fashioned hard-boiled sweets.
