Lang geleden dat ik hier nog geweest was, nog altijd een leuk café aan het station te Geel. Nog altijd een tof café terug na enkele maanden.

Sinds er nieuwe uitbaters inzetten is er echt wel veel veranderd. Interieur heeft een upgrade gehad, en de bediening is altijd met een glimlach. Prijzen zijn zeer betaalbaar. Wij komen zeker terug.
