A daytime meal and a distinct kitchen cutoff
The FAQ says hot kitchen service ends at 15:30, after which drinks and available sweets continue. The operator’s contact page and the directory give different opening days, so a single weekly schedule is not stated here. The published phone and email provide direct contact for the intended visit.

Dogs, laptops and ingredient requests
Dogs are welcome when leashed and kept beside their owner. Laptop use is conditional on dining demand; staff may ask a working guest to finish or give up a table when the café fills. Outside food and drink are excluded apart from babies or young children. Dietary requests should precede ordering because traces can occur in the shared space.
