Schönes Cafe in Blankenberg! Es gibt einen Gastraum, der den Geist der alten Schule erhalten konnte. Draußen gibt es eine große Terasse mit schöner Aussicht. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr nett. Sie lassen ihre eigenen Kaffee-Rüstungen herstellen, die im Laden auch gekauft werden können. Der Kaffee war sehr lecker!

We had a short but great time here! The tea was good (we ordered green tea and herbal tea) with big portion so I'd recommend having 1 tea pot for a group of 2-3 people. The cake was really delicious and not too sweet, which is exactly my style! The atmosphere is nostalgic as its theme is related to "school", even though I did not grow up here. Overall, we did enjoy our time at the café!

Lovely place to eat, delicious food and very impressive service. Amelie was especially helpful , we asked if there was anything vegan for our daughter to eat and there was several dishes to choose from, all amazing. All our dishes were vegan (including the cake), except for the burger. From the kids menu my daughter had the vegan tagliatelle which she loved, they put a smiley face on it which was a nice touch. They also offer alternative milks.

Während einer Lauschtour am Samstag durch Blankenberg kam am frühen Nachmittag der Wunsch nach Kaffee und Kuchen auf. Da Blankenberg touristisch gut erschlossen ist, muss man auch nicht lange suchen, bis man ein geeignetes Café findet. Wir hatten uns für das Café „Die alte Schule“ entschieden, da man von der Straße aus, einen Teil der Terrasse hinter dem Café sehen konnte, das sehr gemütlich aussah. Direkt nachdem man das Café betritt, kann man sich seinen Kuchen an der Theke aussuchen und man wird zu seinem Tisch begleitet. Wir wollten natürlich bei angenehmen Außentemperaturen einen Platz auf der hinteren Terrasse auswählen. Von der Zeit her waren auch noch einige freien Plätze vorhanden. Man sitzt auf der Terrasse etwas erhöht, da sich das Café in einer Hanglage befindet und hat daher einen wunderschönen Blick ins Siegtal hinein. Der Kaffee und der Kuchen kamen auch relativ schnell und waren auch sehr lecker. Die Portion war für meine Begriffe etwas zu klein, da ist man bei den traditionellen Bäckereien eine andere Größe gewöhnt. Geschmacklich allerdings absolut in Ordnung. Preislich gesehen ist das Café etwas im oberen Preissegment aufgestellt, zwei Latte mit zwei Kuchen immerhin 20€, aber man muss ja auch die einzigartige Lage hier berücksichtigen. Der Innenbereich vom Café war sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und es gab einiges von alten Schulutensilien und Bilder vergangener Tage zu sehen. Als Anregung wäre vielleicht noch anzumerken, dass der vordere Bereich der alten Schule etwas unscheinbar aussieht. Dort könnte man ja auch noch den einen oder anderen kleinen Tisch platzieren, damit man auch von außen direkt sieht, dass sich hier eine Gastronomie befindet. Das Schild mit der Aufschrift „Café – Die alte Schule“ verblasst etwas auf dem weißen Hintergrund der Außenfassade.

Café Die alte Schule has a lovely atmosphere and delicious food. The staff were welcoming and friendly, the cake was first class and the premisis was very clean. Three vegan cakes impressed us, as well as the vegan milk options. The seating area was lovely, with a welcoming feel. The staff lent us a USB cable as well as umbrellas, which was much appreciated. The hot chocolate was delicious and came with a bonus biscuit. All-in-all, a 5 star experience! :)
