This is the best café in all of Cologne! I love this urban, cute and calm Atmosphere. It is never too busy and the staff here is awesome! Americano and cappuchino for a reasonable price. Their pastry - especially Pastel de Nata! - is authentic and yummy. I come here regularly and often, it never disappoints me.

Great place for breakfast! Wide selection of food. Tasty panini, very good coffee, friendly service and good music. The tables have enough space between them to have personal space while eating.

Ah such a lovely place in every way. I’m happy that I discovered this cafe. It’s open and welcoming. Coffee and cakes were delicious. The most importantly the people there were really nice and the nicest barista! I would love to be back whenever I need my coffee. Additionally there were people using laptops and it seemed it was welcome to use a laptop. Thank you for providing such a warm and welcoming place in addition to delicious food. Highly recommended.

One of the best coffee shops in Cologne. Their coffee was very good. I ordered a cappuccino and the coffee and milk set was very good. I will always come!

Ordered what I order at every café almost, a cappuccino. It was pretty good, barely strong enough though. Otherwise the flavour profile was really good, intense, non-bitter and mildly full-bodied but still a good cup overall. The café seems also pretty nice on the inside, will probably have some coffee inside someday.
