Wenn Sie mal pfeilschnelle Kellner sehen wollen, kommen Sie hierher. 1 Barista plus 1 Kellner, die 18 Tische a 4 bedienen. Wow. Der Cappuccino ist von guter Qualität und das Getümmel auf dem Bahnhofsvorplatz unterhaltsam.

Sat and people watched. Prices not too expensive. Lovely seating and so convenient for the station and the cathedral. How the waitress kept on top of all the orders! Brilliant. Chatting to those next to us and turns out it was the owner and his friends. Lovely chatting and discovering the Brit connection! 10/10.

Nice and cozy Italian cafe right outside Köln Hbf. Good coffee and very friendly staff. We ordered the salami panini and apple cake and they were yummy!

Super friendly service from a lady with Italian background, good espresso, croissant and the morning sun. Life’s goood.

We were looking for a coffee place and since it was cold out we wanted something inside. The worker was very helpful and friendly and immediately made the place seem welcoming. We ordered Mochaccinos and Hot chocolate and it was very delicious. In fact, it was too rich and I could have watered it down a tad. Highly recommend.

The location is nice , view from the Cologne Cathedral.Easy to locate ..great service and of course real Italian drinks.

As we were in a hurry to go back to work we stood up from our table. Wasn’t sure if we could pay at the bar inside or pay the waiter that took the order therefore asked the waiter where we should pay. Angrily, rudely, arrogantly he replied, “Paghi dove ordini, no Signora!” “You pay where you order, no Mrs!” So sad!

Very busy and extremely unfriendly place! A waiter was extremely arrogant and screeming. How is this possible to treat the customers like this!? If we had more time, I would for sure choose another place. My day was spoild what is not the goal when you go to a bar for a little prosseco:( Such a pity.

The food was ok, but the service was terrible. The waiter is really unpleasant, rude, and somehow aggressive. All our interactions were uncomfortable. We were my bf and I, waiting for our train in less than an hour. I told the waiter (Italian as me) we were in a hurry, and he replied, saying, "Oh mamma mia, tutti di fretta siete!" (Oh, mother, you're all in a hurry), that I think it's not something nice to say to a possible customer that is approaching you. Then I asked if they had anything lactose free, and he said "yes, milk, ahah" (that for me is a joke). Immediately after, I realised he was not joking and he was just unpleasant because I went inside asking what exactly was lactose free, and he said, "Oh god, what do you want now? Again?? Nothing! All contain milk." (All our interactions were in Italian, that made everything sound even more rude). I don't think this kind of answer is acceptable and I don't recommend this place because of the bad service, since the food I had was not bad.

Nice enough cafe in a square outside Cologne Central Station and the Dom (Cathedral). We had a bottle of Kölsch and a coffee while waiting for the train to Brussels. Lots of outdoor seating.

Cute and friendly coffee bar across from the main train station. Cappuccino was good and they also serve wine, alcohol, sandwiches, and cakes.

I ordered a latte macchiato & ciabatta Amazing 😍 I missed Italy too much and there was the first place which made me feel like Italy again

Nice place where to drink and wait for the train. Their aperol spritz was amazing and so tasty!! You can get as a vegan also coffee with plant milk 👌🏻

The cake was frozen before serving, the water just rushed out. It was super gross. I was really hungry so I ate the drier parts with coffee to ignore the weird burst of water. I went for the coffee, I’ll never get anything besides that. And the tiramisu was super wack… The coffee is great, dessert- don’t waste your money. Service is good, the waiter is full power.

This place is a tourist trap. Table waiter is hysterical and incredibly rude to customers. Food is mediocre at best. Coffee is just okay. Avoid.

Great place to pop in for a cappuccino and slice of cake. Very fast, friendly service. A little loud, but not uncomfortable.

Klasse Kaffee (ganz besonders der Espresso!), sehr originelles und freundliches Personal! Für einen kleinen Moment ist man in Italien. Am Vormittag kann man die Sonne mit Blick auf den Kölner Dom genießen.

Bester und leckerster Kaffee den man in Köln bekommt! Das Essen ist auch super lecker, ob Panini oder Kuchen..🌸Das Personal ist IMMER sehr freundlich, ich besuche das Café schon seit Jahren und würde es jedem weiterempfehlen.

Finally good coffee! Great to start a sightseeing tour with a cup of coffee from this nice place right at the central train station. Very good latte macchiato freddo and fast service.

(Translated by Google) Best coffee on the station forecourt in Cologne. Super nice service staff. Highly recommended. (Original) Bester Kaffee am Bahnhofsvorplatz in Köln. Super nettes Service Personal. Absolut zu empfehlen.

(Translated by Google) Super Location! It feels like a small, well-kept coffee bar in Italy. Espresso, Cappuccino and Latte Macciato were just as much the Panini. The friendliness of the two Italian waiters is outstanding. Ergo - small, but fine. With only drawback in the seat offer. (Original) Super Location! Man kommt sich vor wie in einer kleinen gepflegten Kaffebar in Italien. Espresso, Cappuccinound Latte Macciato waren top ebenso die Panini. Die Freundlichkeit der beiden italienischen Bedienungen ist hervorragend. Ergo - klein, aber fein. Mit einzigem Manko im Sitzplatzangebot.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful bar, well run by nice German girls and Italian owner. Fantastic location, opposite the main entrance of the HBF station and adjacent to the catredral. Passing through to reach the stadium for the final of the Inter Europa League .. I drank several German draft beers of excellent quality at a very affordable price .. very clean place, with very good outdoor summer tables. Highly recommended (Original) Bellissimo bar, ben gestito da ragazze simpatiche tedesche e titolare italiano. Posizione fantastica, di fronte all ingresso peincipale della stazione HBF e adiacente alla catredrale.

Consigliatissimo

Nice quiet alternative to the busy train station cafés.

(Translated by Google) Friendly and friendly staff. It was very busy on the Christmas market and could not go anywhere to have a drink. Although this is a snack bar, we were allowed to come in with 7 people just to have a drink. (Original) Gezellig en vriendelijk personeel. Het was heel druk op de Kerstmarkt en konden nergens binnen om iets te drinken. Alhoewel dit een eetcafé is mochten we toch met 7 personen binnen om enkel iets te drinken.

(Translated by Google) Very good cakes very tasty (Original) Sehr gute Torten sehr lecker

if you want a coffee and a short peaceful time near HBF, the atmosphere and the coffee here are definitely better than those coffee shops in the train station!

Das Galestro war unser Rettungsanker, nachdem unser Zug ausgefallen war. Der Kaffee war lecker, wir hatten einen kuscheligen Tisch und das angebotene Gebäck hat uns den unfreiwillig längeren Aufenthalt in der Domstadt versüßt! Das Personal war super nett (ich musste natürlich dringend mein Handy laden, was unproblematisch ermöglicht wurde). Nächstes Mal plane ich gleich Zeit für einen Kaffee dort ein!

Super friendly staff and good prices. Perfect for a coffee or drink while waiting for the train!!

very nice people and the coffee is great ⭐️

Nice :3

I always come to their place only gor their Kakao . Yes also cappuccino and croissants. But Kakao is highly recommended. Each time i drink 2/3 cup of Kakao. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My buddy and I needed to catch a train, saw a Starbucks and needed to make a decision. Do we settle for Starbucks or try to find a proper place. Before the question even entered our mind Galestro came to us from the heavens. The service was amazing, the place was full of smiles and laughter, and even more important the coffee, sandwiches, and deserts were amazing. The Espresso Macchiato was one of the best I ever had. But the tiramisu, cappuccino, and tomato mozzarella panini were also legit AF! Galestro is def a place one would visit and enjoy!

A great spot for a coffee and pastry before catching the train.

Great coffee, very friendly Italian atmosphere!

Super friendly service. Prices moderate considered being right at central station and Kölner Dom. Oat cappuccino + Cornetto Al Cioccolato 4,70€ Couldn’t tip on card and had no coins. Still super friendly

What a fantastic bistro! The owner was attentive, funny and quick! The food is fantastic, beer is cold, and great patio atmosphere! Highly reccommend! Grazie per tutti!!

Super friendly staff, the ciabatta’s are delicious and so is the coffee!!

Nice cozy espresso bar near Hbf. The apple pie was amazing!

Why they gave me tea in a glass like this with just a teabag for just under €5 will forever be beyond me…

Chill out The first place you must visit it in köln👍

Good Italian restaurant.

Almost got insulted by the staff who was extremely rude, despite the great location and good coffee...

Nice Italian coffee table ith a nice view on the cathedral. ?

Lovely coffee and cake.

I asked a member of staff to present me with the bill immeaditaly as I had a train connection to run for and was told in public in front of a friend and the other customers that this was not his problem. I was then forced to sit there embarrassed as he slowly accepted my payment. Incredibly rude and I will not be going here again.

Quiet place. Good service. No WiFi.

Great coffee ... with front row location on square adjacent cathedral and rail station

Small Italian bistro with good sweet and savoury treats, great coffee.
