I arrived in Germany on a Sunday, and was coughing up my lungs by Tuesday. While a trip to the…read moreapotheke for some medicine was on my agenda, what I REALLY needed was a healthy shot of ginger. I turned to Yelp to find a cold pressed juice bar, because I knew I could buy a few bottles to have for the remainder of my stay in Cologne. My girlfriend and I set out on our bikes to make the 7 mile journey, and I wasn't disappointed! It's located in a part of town I hadn't been to before. The shop itself is small and clean. Upon entering, you're greeted with the fresh scent of fruits and veggies, and a beautiful smile from the lady behind the counter. Cold pressed juice is a lengthy process, but preserves the enzymes, giving juice a shelf life of about a week. This is why you will buy it in bottles, and not have it juiced and served to you right away. Centrifugal juicing, what you most commonly see at a juice bar, actually creates heat in the process, and should be consumed within 30 minutes to get the full benefits of the enzymes.
They have a variety of juices, ginger shots, and they make fresh smoothies to order. Everything is organic. The price is steep, but comparable to what I generally pay here in California. We bought 5 ginger shots, a bottle of juice, and a smoothie, and paid about 26€. They are a cash only establishment as well, no credit/debit cards. I'm happy we found this little gem, and will definitely return the next time I'm in town.
