5 Stars for an exceptional espresso bar in Koblenz.
Every time I'm in a new city, I look for a great coffee shop. A few things I'm looking for is an actual espresso machine (not the one click machines...) and milk options since I prefer oat milk (Hafermilch in German).
Galestro is located right in the Jesuitenplatz (square) in the Alt Stadt (Old Town) of Koblez, near the Johannes Müller monument. The square is surrounded by restaurants and is quite lively.
The outdoor tables were full, so we went inside the espresso bar and sat by the window. You order at the table, so we waited only a minute before someone took our orders. I speak a moderate amount of German, but the server immediately turned to English when he heard my group- so don't fret if you don't speak the language! I ordered a cappuccino with oat milk and also saw that they have flat whites, wine, etc on the menu. The coffee was GREAT. My partner got a long espresso and also enjoyed it.
One thing I'd give a skip would be the almond cookies (overly sweet), but the drinks themselves sold it for us. If I'm ever back in town I'll come back, and maybe hit up the wine bar located right next door! read more
