Local coffee roasters that sell their beans. Also preparing great coffee to drink in or take away. Seating is limited to around 10 places, but it's lot the kind of coffee shop to linger in. Great choice if you want a quick, but quality coffee near the station.

(Translated by Google) Coffee falls short of expectations. Shop is small and clean. Service was not attentive. Prefer to discuss private issues rather than serving myself, even though I was the only customer. The feeling that is spread is not Körnerstrassen like. (Original) Kaffee bleibt hinter den Erwartungen zurück. Laden ist klein und sauber. Service war nicht aufmerksam. Lieber private Probleme diskutieren als mich zu bedienen, obwohl ich der einzige Kunde war. Das Feeling was verbreitet wird ist nicht Körnerstrassen like.

My visit to Van Dyck, one of the major coffee bean suppliers in Köln, is a journey with interesting discoveries. This roaster is well-hidden in normal-German-street-looking neighbourhood Enrenfeld with a few creative spots around. The old shop window was kept while its long and thin interior space is uniquely featuring its past life: a barbers shop. It's basically like a time travel experience back to 50s. Their coffee is comparably darker roasted than other coffee capitals. I found the same taste in Düsseldorf. It's very good for making a punchy espresso, Americano or flatwhite. Their staff are very friendly, sometimes even offer to test before buying a bag of beans. I appreciate their traditional Central European approach of serving coffee: with a small block of sweet, such as cake. I also like their packaging a lot, simple and old-fashioned but well represents the physical experience a lot. I go there every time when I visit Köln.

(Translated by Google) The coffee is very good, often exciting. The hype about it, however, is amply covered. Problematic is the complacent way how often there is acted. If you have just entered the store and is already blanched from a distance with "what may it be", so that's not customer friendly but annoying, almost intrusive. Criticism of it - "may I first come in" - is not accepted, but (just complacent) not understood. If you then dare to reach into the openly accessible bag shelf to be able to see a variety name better, you will be with a "we have no self-service" angelafft. What is this store really doing? You can also exist without customers? How about a sign PLEASE DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING? There are so many great roasters in Cologne! Whether they are Pentecost, coffee prince, shamong, moxxa, hoarfrost or whatever. During the counseling session, self-made experiences that did not fit into the Van Dyck universe were subtly condescendingly treated. The self-proclaimed coffee grail Van Dyck is now shunned with a few exceptions. (Original) Der Kaffee ist sehr gut, oft auch spannend. Der Hype darum ist allerdings reichlich überzogen. Problematisch ist die selbstgefällige Art und Weise wie dort oft agiert wird. Wenn man gerade erst den Laden betreten hat und schon aus der Entfernung angeblökt wird mit "was darf es sein", so ist das nicht kundenfreundlich sondern nervig, fast schon aufdringlich. Kritik daran - "darf ich erst mal reinkommen" - wird nicht angenommen, sondern (eben selbstgefällig) nicht verstanden. Wenn man es dann noch wagt in das offen zugängliche Tütenregal zu greifen, um einen Sortennamen besser sehen zu können, wird man mit einem "wir haben hier keine Selbstbedienung" angeblafft. Was bildet sich dieser Laden eingentlich ein? Man kann auch ohne Kunden existieren? Wie wäre es mit einem Schild BITTE NICHTS ANFASSEN? Es gibt in Köln so viele tolle Röster! Ob sie nun Pfingsten, Kaffeeprinzen, Schamong, Moxxa, Hohgrebe oder wie auch immer heißen. Im Beratungsgespräch wurden selbstgemachte Erfahrungen, die nicht in das Van-Dyck-Universum passen, subtil herablassend behandelt. Der selbsternannte Kaffee-Gral Van Dyck wird nun bis auf wenige Ausnahmen gemieden.

(Translated by Google) Topkaffee. Both in the café as well as in the Röstereiverkauf. Delicious pastries as well. Espresso Adorno is currently my favorite for the home. Good advice. Friendly staff. (Original) Topkaffee. Sowohl im Cafébetrieb, als auch im Röstereiverkauf. Leckeres Gebäck außerdem. Espresso Adorno ist momentan mein Favorit für zu Hause. Gute Beratung. Freundliches Personal.

(Translated by Google) The decaffeinated one tastes awful. The other types are okay. (Original) Der Koffeinfreie schmeckt schrecklich. Die anderen Sorten sind okay.

Cosy and great coffee. Very friendly staff .

I expected my coffee stronger, considering I got a flat white. It was ok, a bit too soft (sort of milky). The milk froth was really dense and good, but the coffee itself was a bit disappointing. I still might give it another chance, though.

One of the few cologne coffee roasters in the city with a very good selection of beans and a awesome taste. This place has inside and outside seating. Always worth a visit for a quick coffee or buscuit/cake. Try the Ehrenfeld Espresso.

This is a very famous roastery in Cologne for those that enjoy quality coffee. They offer 100% robusta coffee beans amongst their different coffee blends. You can go for a robusta espresso while you wait for your beans and you will definitely be ready to go

The coffee is great! Personally I love the cappuccino. Everyone is very friendly.

(Translated by Google) Top! Good coffee and the store looks great (Original) Top! Guter kaffee und der laden sieht super aus

(Translated by Google) I've had breakfast there recently with a friend more often. She had not only raved about the local coffee, but also about the pastries, cinnamon rolls and croissants. After tasting it myself, I can say that she was right. The cinnamon rolls taste heavenly and the coffee too. The service was always very nice. It has a nice, cozy atmosphere. It has something of an American bar from the 50's. Retro flair and family. And he's up at 9 o'clock. Perfect for a light croissant breakfast in friendly company. (Original) Ich habe in der letzten Zeit öfter dort mit einer Freundin gefrühstückt. Sie hatte mir nicht nur vom dortigen Kaffee, sondern auch vom Gebäck, den Zimtschnecken und Croissants geschwärmt. Nachdem ich sie selbst probiert habe, kann ich sagen: Sie hatte Recht. Die Zimtschnecken schmecken himmlisch und der Kaffee auch. Das Service war immer sehr sympathisch. Es hat eine schöne, gemütliche Atmosphäre. Es hat etwas von einer amerikanischen Bar aus den 50-ern. Retro-Flair und familiär. Und hat schon um 9 Uhr auf. Perfekt zum leichten Croissant-Frühstück in sympathischer Gesellschaft.

(Translated by Google) Very delicious coffee and nice decor, unfortunately sometimes too little free seats. (Original) Sehr leckerer Kaffee und schöne einrichtung, leider manchmal zu wenig freie Sitzplätze.

(Translated by Google) Very tasty coffee and expert advice (Original) Sehr leckerer Kaffee und kompetente Beratung

Good 3rd wave coffee

The „Ehrenfelder“ espresso (60% arabica, 40% robusta) is my all time favorite. I use 16 g for a double shot ristretto (1:2.5 ratio). 7 seconds pre-infusion at 2 bar, 23 seconds brew time at 9 bar and 2 seconds post brew again at 2 bar result in 40 tasty ml. Try it out! :) Setup: - VST Precision Filter Baskets 15g - IMS Mesh Shower Screen 35 WM

Great Espresso

Very good espresso roasts. The café part is quite small. However, they also sell some cakes. I regularly buy my espresso beans here, Adorno and Horkheimer. If possible, I come around, but they have an online shop, as well. In the shop itself they are a bit snobby, and they make you feel standing in the way, do not welcome you, tell you not to touch anything. Service could be friendlier.

Superb coffee. I buy my espresso beans here. They roast themselves. The Cafe has a very unique style which was even awarded. Usually very friendly staff.

Nice service. Nice coffee. Super friendly team

Cool concept - no barrier between the staff and customers. Staff are pleasant and genuine.

Super!!

One of the best in Europe highly recommend

I have been visiting this place for years. Besides Van Dyck having the best product in Cologne, preparing it impeccably, and the place really having a nice vibe, I thought it was too sad that I could not give them 5 stars: Their staff were consistently snobbish and unfriendly. But that seems to have changed. For the past month or so.. I've been greeted by attentive, friendly staff doing a great job and all 5 stars are well deserved. Keep it up!

😋....

Cappuccino was awesome

Great local coffee at all times.

Great beans, friendly service. If you bring your tin for the beans they give you a discount on price.

(Translated by Google) My espresso bean is called Adorno and is ideal for a strong cappuccino. For years my bean of trust and meets my taste. I have now tried my heart and soul and as a fan of the pomegranate I can only recommend it. Great shop, great staff, and great coffee. (Original) Meine Espressobohne heißt Adorno und eignet sich bestens für einen starken Cappuccino. Seit Jahren meine Bohne des Vertrauens und trifft meinen Geschmack. Herzblut habe ich jetzt auch ausprobiert und als Fan der Granatapfel kann ich sie nur empfehlen. Toller Laden, tolle Mitarbeiter*innen und toller Kaffee.

(Translated by Google) I have my current favorite beans here. But unfortunately it was also badly disappointed by the preparation of the FW. (Original) Hier gibt es meinen aktuellen Lieblingsbohnen. Wurde aber leider auch schon mal von der Zubereitung des FW schwer enttäuscht.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, the shop on Schanzenstrasse has short opening times. But you can drink coffee here and buy coffee for yourself. During Corona only open until 2 p.m. and of course no consumption in the cafe. (Original) Leider hat der Laden in der Schanzenstrasse kurze Öffnungszeiten. Aber man kann hier Kaffee trinken und Kaffee für kaufen. Während Corona nur bis 14.00 Uhr geöffnet und natürlich kein Verzehr im Cafe.

(Translated by Google) I hardly ever write reviews. But the young man in the café gave me such friendly and detailed advice today. I've really rarely seen that. The modern cafés are often a bit arrogant, but your approach is really great. The coffee was delicious and beautifully decorated. (Original) Ich schriebe so gut wie nie Bewertungen. Aber der Junge Mann in Café hat mich heute so freundlich und ausführlich beraten. Das habe ich wirklich selten erlebt. Oft sind die modernen Cafés ja etwas arrogant aber euer Ansatz ist echt toll. Der Kaffee war sehr lecker und wunderschön verziert.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, there are only recoup cups and no paper cups to take away anymore. I can understand the environmental aspect, but I also think it's a shame that as a customer you no longer have a choice. (Original) Leider gibt es nur noch recoup-Becher und keine Pappbecher zum Mitnehmen mehr. Ich kann den Umweltaspekt verstehen, finde es aber auch schade, dass man als Kunde keine Wahl mehr hat.

(Translated by Google) Nice little café with friendly staff. Super tasty and sustainable coffee. If you want advice, that also works here. And the pastry is a dream. (Original) Nettes kleines Café mit freundlichen Mitarbeitenden. Super leckerer und nachhaltiger Kaffee. Wer beraten werden möchte, das funktioniert hier auch. Und das Gebäck ist ein Träumchen.

(Translated by Google) At our wedding on 08/08/2020 at the Orr manor, the Van Dyck coffee bike was at the start. And Frank from Van Dyck was one of the highlights with the bike. For our guests he has conjured up the absolutely best coffee creations with the best Van Dyck coffee that we have ever drunk. All guests celebrated the coffee and Frank. Because of the temperatures of 36 degrees in the shade, Frank quickly switched to ice coffee specialties. There was the legendary and fantastic Espresso Tonic - super delicious - ice coffee and all the other coffee delicacies you could wish for. Frank was soooo warm, always on the ball and courteous - all guests rave about it! We would recommend everyone to try Van Dyck's unique coffee and order the coffee bike for an event. Thank you Frank, thank you Van Dyck- you guys are great! (Original) Bei unserer Hochzeit am 08.08.2020 im Rittergut Orr war das Kaffeebike von Van Dyck am Start.

Es gab den legendären und fantastischen Espresso Tonic - super lecker - Ice-Kaffee und alle anderen Kaffee-Leckereien, die man sich wünscht. Dabei war Frank soooo herzlich, immer auf Zack und zuvorkommend - alle Gäste schwärmen davon!

Der Geschmack, den man mit gutem Gewissen geniesen kann, da nur fairer Kaffee angeboten wird, ist dann einfach unbeschreiblich. Die Damen, die bedienen verstehen viel von Kaffee und sind freundlich.

Maybe the best Espresso in town. I really like that you can choose from different beans. So no matter if you prefer strong, floral or more acidic taste – they've got you covered. :)
