This little French-inspired bakery specializes on croissants and related baked goods: think Danish pastries, pain au chocolat, but also savoury variations there of. It’s a welcome new addition to the ‘Agnesviertel’ brunch scene, and shows real potential. The coffee is good and the barista skills getting better everyday, the croissants on the buttery, doughy side nut with delicious variations (incl. Haloumi filled and crud fins), and overall the ingredients are very good, the couple behind it is very sweet and passionate, and one hopes to see this place thrive. There is some strong competition in the ‘Veedel’ and beyond for great coffee and French pastries already. But as a croissant and coffee lover, I hope to see this new place rise to the upper echelons of the established scene. The eye for detail and branding is certainly promising. The interior design is modern, simple, yet stylish. A cozy place to catch-up with friends or get some work done.

Coffee is decent, but pastries are definitely to try! If you like croissants and flaky pastries, it’s worth coming to Goodchild! The location is cosy and instagrammable, but there are not too many sits available.

Amazing coffee and very sweet staff! Had an amazing time and loved the decorations.

Exquisite croissant. Personally, I didn’t like the Hollumi one especially, but the price is fair, totally worth it! Next time would try smth else. Nice environment. Friendly service.

This is a place I’ve been waiting for in Cologne. Excellent croissants, a small range of pastries, excellent coffee and friendly staff. You can see how they make the puff pastry and the owner is certified patissier or pastry chef. Come and taste!

Amazing pastries, very polite staff! I haven't had such delicious pastries in Germany in a long time! ❤️ delicious coffee!

I just love it! And of course all other delicious specials 🥰 and Mocha 🤤! GC you are the best!

Stunning coffee and flaky buttery delicious pastries! Highly recommended

Chai latte was great, very spicy which I’m not used to! The brownie was AMAZING 🤩 Would definitely come back again in the future

Best ever croissant I have had in Germany. Fabulous crispy soft moist. My Australian Partner was happy to find a spot who is able to hit the mark. Big cheers and love for you🙌

Best croissant in Köln. Period. I was in Paris recently and went to a handful of the top-rated bakeries and their croissants weren’t better than this place either. You will consistently get a crunchy exterior, soft/buttery interior, and they are generally warm/freshly baked. Yes, it’s comparatively pricey but I’m so glad to have this cafe nearby FYI, pass on the pastel de nata

Decent coffee. I would value it more to source local specialty coffee… #supportYourLocal I love croissants and, yes, it is hard to get good croissants in Cologne. They made it possible. Merci (BUT not as good as in Paris)

We came here for breakfast as a family when we were on Brussels. Delicious pastries, friendly staff with excellent English and it is nice to sit outside and drink coffee in thr morning. I recommend their Chai Latte.

very nice place with extremely tasty pastries. Unfortunately very busy and a bit too hipsterish to my taste. A parking space is very hard to find, in case you come by car.

Hands down the best croissants in Cologne. The coffee is great and compliments the croissants perfectly. A nice array of other pastries such as tarts, brownies, etc. with some fun new things on the weekends. I can’t recommend this place enough to my friends and anyone visiting Cologne. Staff are very friendly, also speak English and are happy to make an iced Americano which can be really hard to find in Germany besides Starbucks. A++ all around.
