I sent a peaceful half hour drinking a cup of tea and watching the people passing by on the street. Other reviews mentioned the cooling glass cabinet in the middle of the room by the entrance and they are right, it is very noisy. I had been thinking someone was running a moped outside until I figured out it was the cooler! One bad thing is that the now legally required "registrierkasse" receipt was not produced when I paid for my tea, who knows how much it should have cost relative to what I was asked to pay for it.
