The café’s star attraction is undoubtedly the coffee, hailed as some of the best in the area. Coffee aficionados will delight in their expertly crafted beverages, especially the beloved oat flat white that has won over many hearts, including Jeremy, who swears it’s the best in Köln.

While the selection does shift occasionally, the quality remains high. Customers rave about refreshing drinks from Zappes and FritzKola alongside delightful pastries, although some have noted the departure of vegan cinnamon rolls from the menu, something that Jana mentioned in her review. Nonetheless, don’t miss out on their delectable desserts, which Pamela Isabel Mesia Icaza calls “amazing,” promising a sweet finale to your visit.

Bester Kaffee in der Area. Leckere Erfrischungsgetränke von Zappes & fritz-kola gibt es auch. Etwas versteckt im inneren der Schanzenstraße 22, aber der Weg ist es wert.

Sehr leckerer Kaffee! Das süße Teilchen von der "patisserie sonntags" war okey. Oben zu hart, unten zu bröselig, wodurch das Essen sich echt schwer gestaltete. Aber der Geschmack war super. Atmosphäre ist entspannt und man kann hier gut arbeiten. Leider wurden die veganen Zimtschnecken aus dem Sortiment genommen

Sehr gemütlich, obwohl man quasi im Foyer der Brainpool-Studios sitzt. Es liegen sogar einige Bücher und Brett-/Kartenspiele für ein bisschen Beschäftigung bereit. Netter Service, super leckere Gebäcke und der bester Hafer Flat White Kölns!

Für mich ein rundum gelungenes Café. Die Focacce sind der Knaller! Italienischer geht es nicht. Der Kaffee ist superb, die Bedienung nett und freundlich. Was will ich mehr?
