Topcafé! Alsof je oma’s huiskamer kruist met een goede barista en een vlotte barman. Koffie zo goed dat ik bijna m’n eigen naam vergat. Gaan dus!

Gezellig klein café, waar je binnen en buiten, recht onder de kerktoren, ook een heerlijk hapje kunt eten. Wisselende kaart, wisselend personeel. Lekkere Tikka Masala en pasta's, frisse Vylmer, verse muntthee, tapasplankje... prima patron die graag een klein babbeltje slaat en de kaarsjes brandend houdt. Topsfeer.
