Viihtyisä ja kodikas. Hieman ahdas. Maukasta pikkupurtavaa. Gluteenitontakin löytyi.

Vanhaa tunnelmaa henkivä kahvila Keisarillisen kalastusmajan kupeessa, Ulkoterassilla näkee ja kuulee kosken pauhun. Yksi suosikki kahviloista, johon tulee pyöräiltyä monta kertaa kesässä.

Pannukakku oli hyvää ja teelle sai isomman mukin, palvelu oli ystävällistä ja tunnelma oli kodinomainen.

Kyllä kannattaa poiketa pääteiltä, jos tiedossa on tämän paikan mukaista herkkua. Ja nyt herkulla tarkoitan sijaintia kosken äärellä, alueen historiaa, kaunista kahvilarakennusta ja sitten niitä oikeita herkkuja. Olimme liikkeellä maanantaina lähellä sulkemisaikaa ja kahvin kanssa kastettavaksi jäljellä oli pulla ja Keisarinnan kakkara. Tuon uppopaistetun minicroisantin nimi nauratti sen verran, ettei niukka tarjontakaan haitannut. Iloitsin valkoisesta laakeasta teekupista - tee jostain syystä vaan maistuu siitä paremmalta? Esteetön, jos on kaveri vähän jeesimässä. Invaparkki kahvilan vieressä. Mäen päällä ilmaista parkkitilaa. Vinkkinä, että väkeä näytti olevan rannoilla evästetkellä..

Kiva kahvila keisarillisen kalastusmajan vieressä. Hinnat voisi olla maltillisemmat.
