Our neighbors have opened a cafe in our nearby tiny metropolis of Callac. He is German, she is Colombian, so their cafe is Germano/Colombiano. It’s got a Colombian name, Cafe Fredonia (Kaffee Fredonia), which sounds a little German but is in fact a town in Colombia.
It's also the country run by Groucho Marx in Duck Soup.
Cafe Fredonia serves traditional German Kaffee und Kuchen but with Colombian coffee. The decor is ornate and elegant, a shift in tone compared with our other local cafes. They’ve only been open for several weeks and they are still finding their feet. But I think it’s a great start for local sweet-toothed coffee-lovers.
My only issue is that they’ve decorated with interior with picture frames with no paintings. This needs to be addressed! Meanwhile I will be stopping by for a sweet nibble when I get the chance. Nothing like a little buzz in the countryside. Lmc
