My Café Oliv Visit

I had lunch at Café Oliv, an organic food restaurant on the corner of Münzstraße and Almstadtstrasse. The solid black matte exterior of this restaurant caught my attention, while inside I discovered a neon light installation on the wall. I took a latte and sweet potato salad on the little wooden tables outside and both were fantastic!
