The Viennese afternoon cafe culture is alive and well in neighboring Germany, and I popped into…read moreFassbender on a particularly cold day in Cologne. This little pastry and coffee shop was the perfect place to warm up. Originally I had wanted a slice of yummy cake to go with my coffee, but the language barrier caused some issues here. I thought I ordered the chocolate Bailey's torte that looked so good in the glass case, but for some reason we got two coffees and then a hot chocolate with Bailey's liquor in it. LOL. Well, no cake for me -- which is probably good because I'm sure it had a zillion calories! My advice is that if you want one of the cakes, physically go up to the case and point to what you want. They certainly looked so good and I wish I had been able to try one. Oh well. They even have a whipped cream machine that dispenses fresh cream on top of every slice! Be still my heart. The cappuccinos we had were all excellent. High quality espresso and delicious milk. I swear Europeans have it made with their coffees, because they are always crafted with such high quality ingredients. The spiked hot chocolate ended up being our favorite beverage of the three. Happy accidents and all that. Prices were standard for a classy cafe, our total was less than $20 US which is a pretty great deal. The interior has an old school feel. It's not fancy, but comfortable enough. Our server was very kind, and she seemed to be a little surprised by the fact that English-speaking tourists were here (this does seem like a predominantly locals place). We were made to feel very welcome, even if we did get confused by a couple of the German words on the menu. If you are a tourist who enjoys being coddled and catered to, this isn't a good place for you. Note that European cafes are different than those in America. They don't rush you out the door, and service can feel slow. I loved being able to take my time, sip my drinks, and get nice and warm, but I wasn't in any sort of a rush. It takes them a while to prepare your drinks, so be patient and make sure you have some time to spare if you come here.

I had some card trouble but found out you insert instead of tap. The quality of the food was great. It's not the best I've experienced, but well done. I enjoy the macaroons the most! I had one vanilla, one blueberry, and a strawberry. All fantastically flavored too! Overall check this place out. I hope I get to go back to check out the desserts too.

Service: the service was really good.

They were really good and my favorite was the yogurt all the weren't too sweet and hit the flavors pretty well it was very rich and creamy.

The menu has got a pretty huge selection; I'm a little sad I didn't get to go back to try more of their offerings! I ordered the spaghetti eis with sttawberries, which was really delicious and a generous size. It really did look a lot like spaghetti, especially with the white chocolate shavings made to look like parmesan! Service was pretty quick; we got our ice creams just a few minutes after ordering. We were able to easily split the bill (we paid with cash so I'm not sure what the card situation is). There were bathrooms as well and they were reasonably clean. A great place to stop by for a huge ice cream on a warm day! The spaghetti eis was delicious, and definitely worth a try if you've never had it before. All the desserts also make for great photos.

Hallo guys, So I'm in Koln (Cologne ) Germany right, and I'm diabetic, so when we get hungry we have to stop then and eat something. After, shopping I went back to this spot because food / pastries looked so, good. The lady's were nice! However, the guy (waiter) who came to my table kept disappearing to take other people orders who came in after me. I waited patiently, until I couldn't. I was hungry, diabetic hungry there's a difference. All I ordered was a cappuccino, & a mini egg sandwich & cucumber sandwich thingy. The 4th time he came back he barked @ me you pay me, but I didn't get any food yet. I had enough of him! I asked girls for manager before leaving. The waiter's demeanor is of a person who doesn't like certain races, and fine put up a sign saying so & we'll see how long u stay in business? It's 2026, not everyone is so ignorant anymore. I've traveled 70+ countries, and never had any waiter or anyone speak down to me like this, and No it wasn't a Tourist kinda hatred which is not ok either. He didn't want to serve me. So, if you're in Koln (Cologne) Do Not patronize this bakery / restaurant bc if you're Indian, Spanish, Arab, Black, Dark Italian, Jewish etc. and get this guy he'll upset you & spoil your vacation. I spoke to the manager, but she looked afraid of him. However, if upper management allow him to run paying Tourist from different countries away they don't need your business. I guess Owner is so Rich he doesn't need anymore money. I guess his annual bottom line is in the green. So, many businesses go outta business because of waiters like him. Word gets around, and people stop coming. You've been warned! I Do Not, and would never recommend this spot. I left and ate @ elsewhere. Happily! I'm only included some photos so you'll know the spot. It's not the food it's the worker.

The cakes I've had Bienenstich, schokokuchen, kaesekuchen, schokocreme, Schwarzwälder ... einzigst der tiramisu ist bei einem Italiener authentischer.. auch broetchen schmecken hier einfach besser. Ebenfalls besteht auch ein fruehstuecks Buffet, was etwas versteckt um die Ecke liegt, inkl frisch gepresstem Orangensaft (zum selber pressen)-- der persönliche Highlight fuer mich. Preislich liegt schlechtriemen zwar nicht am untersten Ende des Spektrums aber ich finde total akzeptabel. Die einzige Macke ist das Personal was in Sache Bedienung nicht immer das freundlichste und schnellste ist.
