    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.

    We came here at "Kaffe und Kuchen" hour so the place was almost packed and the staff seemed…read moreoverwhelmed. We sat right by the display so we had enough time to make up our minds. I had the hazelnut torte while my friend tried the chocolate marzipan layer torte. I love that the desserts aren't super sweet leaving you with a high! Always a favorite Köln establishment.
