Cozy café. Great food and Weissbier! Be aware that it is CASH Only. However, you can pay with euro as well (1:1).

I've lost myself into the Senda Ruinalta because of the snow and ended up at the station. Alex, the ownner, was the only living soul around. The coffee shop was closed, and yet, she offered me coffee, fruits and a map so that I can take some strengths back before leaving. She refused to take the money. We had a very nice tchat together, waiting for my train. She just made my day and I will never be grateful enough for her kindness... You're a wonderful person Alex and I wish you and your coffee place the best :)

Cool place with cool music. Selection of food is basic but good. Service is very friendly and welcoming. Good place to stop for refreshments before walking through the gorge.

When I arrived at Valendas-Sagogn train station, the coffee place was closed. I needed to reach Valendas school, there was a lot of snow. The owner of the café, this very kind lady opened the door for me and offered me a lift to reach the school instead of crossing the forest walking in the snow. People's kindness always surprises me ! I recommend to go to this beautiful café, owned by a very nice lady! The place is absolutely gorgeous! Thank you so much for the lift to school Madam! And see you soon, in Valendas or in Montreux ! Adeline.
