What Anna O likes about Cossies Cafe:

While some negative reviews highlight issues such as rude treatment of customers and disappointing food quality, the overall consensus on this restaurant is positive. Customers appreciate the cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and delicious menu offerings. Special mentions go to the coq au vin, lamb shanks stew, and the divine crepe with nutella and ice cream. Pricing is reasonable, and vegan options are available. Overall, Cossies is recommended for a warm and enjoyable dining experience.
