Scandal around water tower café: shock prices for coffee and cake!

Cuxhaven-the water tower café in the picturesque Cuxhaven has caused a lot of sensation in the past few weeks. The prices for two small pieces of cake and two hot drinks are a proud 15.70 euros, which causes resentment among guests. Numerous visitors share this experience, including Diana Mettger, who reported on their disappointing visit in the Facebook group "Restaurant criticism Cuxhaven". Her conclusion: "Once and never again", where you consider the price of over 15 euros for a cappuccino and a piece of dry cake as completely exaggerated.

The criticism does not decrease; Frank Berger also joined the negative response. He also felt ripped off with his partner after paying the same sum for a piece of Rübli and lemon cake and two hot drinks. "We found this as not appropriate," said Berger, who understood the need to cover the renovation of the historical water tower, but noted that a permanent concept that keeps the guests away could ultimately harm the operator.

negative reviews and reactions of the guests

In the said Facebook group, the reports have triggered a wave of comments that are not only limited to the disappointed customers. With almost 400 comments, many users have cleared their outrage and vote like "This is already usury!" or "bottle of water 7.50 euros". The general opinion among the commentators is that the prices for what is offered are outrageously high and the quality cannot justify such costs.

The operator of the café, Alain Caboussat, reacted to the criticism. He and his wife Mirabelle took over the water tower and recently renovated it extensively. Cabousat emphasizes that the prices and products in the café are clearly visible. "All guests are released what they want to consume," he explains and emphasizes that all the dishes offered are homemade and prepared with fresh ingredients.

contradictory experiences in the café

Despite the negative response, there are also positive voices. The water tower café has a Google rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars, which allows good quality overall. Many visitors praise the ambience, the friendliness of the staff and the delicious cakes. A guest reports of a "very nice little café" with "very, very delicious cakes and courteous waitresses". Another evaluation illustrates: "The cake is very excellent. There is a passion for quality."

Overall, there is a split picture: While some guests criticize the high prices, others emphasize the positive overall experience and the quality of the dishes. A dilemma that affects many cafes and restaurants, especially in tourist places. The discussion will certainly continue and remains exciting how the café will position itself in the future.
