This is one place you should visit in Cologne. Close to Heumarkt, in the city center. These are the…read morebest cupcakes I've ever had, they're like little pieces of heaven in your mouth. The place is really nice decorated and there's only one table and not so many seats. So you also have the opportunity to speak with the other visitors, most of the times from all over the world. The owner of the business is an awesome man with great conversation. It's really important to book before going there if you want to taste the awesome cupcakes.

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.

Café Reichard is a wonderful place to grab Lunch, or an afternoon Kaffee und Apfelpfannkuchen as I…read moredid. The Café is conveniently located just across the street from Kölner Dom. It has both indoor and outdoor seating. Smoking is allowed outside, in a designated area. The food here is very good. But where Café Reichard excels, is at their dessert. The four of us descended upon Café Reichard, after a long and enjoyable afternoon visiting the cathedral. It was magnificent experience, see review and photos. Since it looked like rain, we decided to sit at a covered table. We decided to try a little bit of this and that. But first, we needed some strong German Kaffee to get our motors going again. LOL As I said, I went with the Apfelpfannkuchen €12,60 (see photo). While others tried the Schnitzel und Kartoffel €27,10, Ofenfrische Heidekartoffel mit Kräuterrahm, or Turkey with a Baked Potato. All were very good and tasty, but the Kutchen (desserts) were the best. Depending on how hungry, or thirsty you are, expect to spend €25.00 each.

Hands down, the best cinnamon roll (Zimtschnecke) I have ever had. After I declared a sudden…read morecraving for a cinnamon roll, my boyfriend and I decided to visit this place in Hohe Pforte. The cafe was very inviting, with refreshing hot pink walls and cute little succulents on the tables. We were in luck because the rolls had just come hot and fresh out of the oven, and the cafe was filled with the most heavenly (or sinful?) smell in this world. It was the most moist cinnamon roll I have ever had, far exceeding the ones I've had back home in the States. And my favorite part which is the center of the roll certainly did not disappoint; the perfect amount of decadence and sweetness in every bite. I was so in love that I didn't think twice to take another roll to go. Now, I expect to be around this side of town more often!

One of my favorite brunch/dessert cafes in Cologne! Located in the downtown area, this spacious and…read morelovely cafe greets you with a quasi-red carpet and vivid colorful displays of chocolates, beautiful cakes, macarons, pastries, and sweet decorations. In contrast to many cafes, there are plenty of seats available and good for large groups, although they also take reservations if you're so inclined. The restaurant also serves several good options for brunch and breakfast options, and the service is friendly. I think this is a great place to meet up with friends and family for brunch, coffee, or a sweet and delicious cake in between shopping. I recommend the French vanilla layer cake. Two things that I noticed other reviewers commented on, which I will also briefly reiterate. Ordering system might seem foreign to some- you order your cake in the front where you can see the cakes, get a voucher, take a seat and then order your coffee, server takes your voucher, and will bring your drinks and cake together. In addition, we also noticed that on Sunday, they only offered large cups of coffee or cans, which was a bit odd. Another slight pet peeve that's standard in many German downtown restaurants/cafes but still somewhat annoying- there's a bathroom person expecting a tip for using their facilities, so you might need to have some spare change available. All in all, a cafe worth visiting. :)

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.
