Cafe

😠 Visited a few times but today I had enough. If your drink is good or bad, depends on who's shift you catch. If I pay that much for a simple coffee-drink, I better get one that actually tastes like something. IF you go there, at least be sure to stir your drink yourself 'cause apparently some of them... People often mention coffee, good, nice, Kaffee, Espresso, delicious, espresso, friendly, great, Sehr,

    This little gem of a cafe! I tried the Espresso Perfetto Cafe and was quite pleased with the quality, but this little place is actually better than the „original“! Coffee was very balanced and well done, latte art on point and the sweets were fresh and delicious! Definitely will come back! Made our rainy day a little bit brighter!

    My capuccino was very nice! Although I was shocked when I saw the total as on the board it says €3.20 but the writing is really small when showing the available alternative milks which are a €0.60 additional charge which shocked me as I picked Soya milk which is not usually charged for. Anyways, it had a nice atmosphere, prices not too bad

    Delicious coffee and lots of different little pastries. Freshly squeezed orange juice is also great.

    (Translated by Google) Very cute furnished cafe with great attention to detail. Too bad that there is only a normal cups of coffee for a large milk coffee for the money. The coffee was delicious from the roast. (Original) Sehr süß eingerichtetes Cafe mit viel Liebe zum Detail. Schade das es bei einen großen Milchkaffee nur eine normale Tassen Größe gibt für das Geld. Der Kaffee sehr lecker von der röstung her.

    (Translated by Google) Nice atmosphere and good coffee, but what does it mean "We accept only cash or German cards" ?! What kind of discrimination is everywhere accepted, but they are not? (Original) Милая обстановка и неплохой кофе, но что значит "Мы принимаем к оплате только наличные или немецкие карты"?! Что за дискриминация, везде принимают, а они нет?

    (Translated by Google) + delicious espresso and deserts - unfortunately, the deserts have slightly overpriced prices - unfortunately no customer toilet - Sometimes the baristas need a long time to make the coffee, despite the lack of clientele (Original) + super leckerer Espresso und Deserts - leider haben die Deserts etwas überteuerte Preise - leider keine Kunden Toilette - manchmal brauchen die Baristas trotz wenig Kundschaft lange um den Kaffee zu machen

    The coffee and hot chocolate were good and the barista was so kind and I saw her effort to make them . I enjoyed it so I recommend this place.

    Coffee was alright, but the staff wasn't friendly to tourist. My friend only asked if it's possible to pay by card and she pointed at the signage, which is written in German, that only cash and debit card accepted. And of course, we can't read it. It wouldn't hurt to say it nicely, I suppose.

    Coffees are good, but the waitress is completely unkind and sometimes even unpolite

    This has become my go-to place for a good Latte Macchiato in downtown because a) they make a great coffee and b) they have Oatly and c) they are super nice.

    It’s new open. Look lovely and nice. I like this concept. Just a problem: there are not so many seats.

  • 5/5 Martin W. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very cozy café with lots of great details. You can hardly walk past here, but should linger. Just a great barista with a lot of love and perfect coffee. To go is also possible, but it makes sense to switch off in the café. Hopefully this will be allowed again soon and just keep it up. (Original) Sehr gemütliches Café mit vielen tollen Details. Hier kann man fast nicht vorbei laufen, sondern sollte verweilen. Einfach ein toller Barista mit viel Liebe und perfektem Kaffee. Auch to Go möglich, jedoch ist ein Abschalten im Café sinnvoll. Hoffentlich ist das bald wieder erlaubt und einfach weiter so.

    (Translated by Google) A nice little shop in the middle of the city or on the Kölner Ring. Unfortunately there is not much seating, but the coffee and the Italian pastries taste what you get. Barrier-free access to the café and the shop window at ground level gives you a good view of the rings. (Original) Ein netter kleiner Laden mitten in der City bzw auf dem Kölner Ring. Viele Sitzgelegenheiten gibt es leider nicht, aber dafür schmeckt der Kaffee und das italienische Gebäck was man dirt bekommt. Barrierefreier Zugang ins Café und durch die ebenerdigen Schaufenster hat man einen guten Ausblick auf die Ringe.

    (Translated by Google) Today I ordered an espresso doppio and a raspberry pastry from Il Barista on the Hohenzollernring. What was the young service employee doing? He and his colleague blasphemed in my presence (!!!) that I had ordered something vegan and insulted me in an indirect way for no reason. I have no words for such outrageous, intolerant behavior on the part of the employee, and unfortunately I have no understanding. I then complained to the boss. Something like that doesn't work! If you are gossiping about your guests, you should do it so discreetly and quietly that they don't hear it. When asked about his wrongdoing, he said only that I had misunderstood him. Yes, it is clear: p His statements were clear and unequivocal. Such behavior is shameful! After all, the boss apologized to me and wanted to clarify my complaint internally. (Original) Ich bestellte heute einen Espresso doppio und ein Himbeergebäck bei Il Barista am Hohenzollernring. Was machte der junge Servicemitarbeiter? Er lästerte mit seinem Kollegen ganz unverfroren in meiner Anwesenheit (!!!) darüber, dass ich etwas Veganes bestellt habe und beleidigte mich grundlos in indirekter Art und Weise. Für solch ein unverschämtes, intolerantes Verhalten des Mitarbeiters, fehlen mir jegliche Worte und leider auch das Verständnis. Ich habe mich im Anschluss bei der Chefin beschwert. So etwas geht gar nicht! Wenn man schon über seine Gäste lästert, sollte man es so diskret und leise tun, dass sie es nicht hören. Auf sein Fehlverhalten angesprochen, meinte er nur, ich hätte ihn falsch verstanden. Ja, ist klar :p Seine Aussagen waren eindeutig und unmissverständlich. Beschämend solch ein Verhalten! Immerhin hat die Chefin sich bei mir entschuldigt und wollte meine Beschwerde intern klären.

    (Translated by Google) Employees do not all wear masks, even when there are guests in the café. Find this absolutely irresponsible given the current situation. (Original) Mitarbeiter tragen nicht alle Maske, auch wenn Gäste im Café sind. Finde das angesichts der momentanen Situation absolut verantwortungslos.

    (Translated by Google) Maybe those beautiful Vespas that serve as a bar decoration ... Maybe a nice barmaid 😃 but I liked to drink a delicious double espresso there 🤠 (Original) Może te śliczne Vespy, które służą za ozdobę baru...

    (Translated by Google) The service was good, the almond cookies delicious. The cappuccino was not good, however, there is still room for improvement. It's a shame, of course we visited the IL Barista for that. We won't go there anymore, there are better café bars in Cologne. (Original) Der Service war gut, das Mandelplätzchen lecker. Nicht gut war jedoch der Cappuccino, hier ist noch deutlich Luft nach oben. Schade, wir haben das IL Barista natürlich dafür besucht. Wir werden nicht mehr hingehen, es gibt bessere Cafébars in Köln.
