Cultural Tip
In Germany, ‘Kaffee und Kuchen’ (coffee and cake) is a beloved tradition, and talking about how good a cake is’s common small‑talk. ‘Mega’ is fine among friends, but in formal settings (e.g., a restaurant review) you’d replace it with ‘sehr’ or ‘ausgezeichnet’. Also, remember that German compounds are written as one word, so the whole noun stays capitalised.
