Juan, what did you have there? I had the white chocolate milk with blueberries and the warm apple pie. DELICIOUS!

I'd go back to Dusseldorf just to have an afternoon snack at that place!

And I also love how cozy their shop is. I bought the chocolate tagliatelli and prepared it with some warm apple slices. Yummieee!

I have eaten the chocolate bar Sofie describes in her blog post. Maravilloso!
Sofie Couwenbergh January 16, 2013 at 10:19am

If you ever visit the Gut & Gerne in Dusseldorf, you should definitely try out a white chocolate with strawberry and yoghurt chocolate bar !
