初めてランチで利用。店内はこじんまりと家庭的な雰囲気のお店。お料理は家庭的なお味でした。ダッチベイビー専門と言う事で、デザートはダッチベイビーパンケーキ。こちらも初めて食べました!外側はカリカリっとして内側はふわっとした甘さ控えめでフルーツがのって美味しい。

高齢の母とランチでお邪魔しました。先日道を挟んだ向かいにあるお店でランチした時、ヴェーレンカフェのおしゃれな外観が目に入り、楽しみにしてきました。 ダッチベイビーというスキレットで焼いたデザートがつくとのことで、母が食べ切れるか心配してましたが、ランチのご飯の量は控えめ、大盛りは別料金なので安心でした。男性なら大盛りもありだと思います。 母は蒸し野菜、私はチキンのゆず胡椒炒めをオーダー。コンソメスープとサラダがついて程よくお腹が落ち着き、デザートとこーを待つ間、コーヒー豆の焙煎をお願いしました。目の前で炒り、挽いてもらったコーヒーはとってもいい香りです。 熱々のスキレットに入ったダッチベイビーは、大きなシュークリームのよう。バナナと生クリーム、アイスが乗って気持ちがあがります。思ったより軽くてペロリといただきました。コーヒーも自家焙煎です香りがよくとても美味しかったです。 お土産に買って帰ったコーヒーも、お湯を注いだらモコモコと膨らみ、香ばしいコーヒーでした。

ドイツ風パンケーキ「ダッジオーブン」をいただけるカフェです。 ダッジオーブンはスキレットレシピでパイ生地を焼いたような食感で、サクモチっとしておりとても美味しかったです。 ランチ1500円と少し高いですが、プレートのご飯とダッジオーブン・ドリンク付なのでこの値段でもお得かと思います。(ダッジオーブンなしも選べます!) 平日のランチ時間は私たち以外は女性グループしかいなかったです笑
