"I a middle aged Brit was being guided round Hamburg by my German cousin's daughter and her two friends and I thought I would treat them to a coffee and a snack in somewhere warm it was cold today on the Friday the February and nowhere was open in the park with the Japanese Garden and greenhouses. We left the park so I looked up TA for somewhere to have that snack. I found the local small Fish restaurant at Collonade which proved to be too small, with standing only as there were no tables for the four of us. A TA search locally found nothing german so we just hit the first cheapish place we could see which proved to be Caravela. Walking down the steps into the warm, bright and cafe atmosphere we found a few people snacking. The cheerful counterwoman took our orders for my cappucino, a hot chocolate and two herbal teas. I ordered a couple of small cakes to share. I asked if there were any portugese custard tarts but she said they had sold out unfortunately. The total bill of was paid on the spot which I thought was good value. We sat around a high table and the drinks were produced quickly and were appreciated as hot and tasty. The cakes were tasty too but were not custard tarts, although looked a little like them the woman warned me they were not the same. I thought we could have something savoury so I chose the last tortilla at thinking there may be a portugese twist to this Spanish classic. She warmed it up and served it soon after. It was pretty good, although quite bland as usual needing a bit of seasoning. I noticed above the kitchen area boards displaying snack deals. They looked enticing and very good value. Separate small groups of young portugese popped in so it was obviously popular. Overal it was a cheap place to have a snack on a cold day. Obrigado to our hostess"
