    The best Bakery franchise of Germany. Every time you go to this bakery, the sweet pretzels leave you no choice but to buy them and enjoy them with a nice warm cup of coffee. One of the best interiors of a bakery that I have witnessed. Highly recommend.

    9/27 I had a good moment here. Observing those pedestrians make me feel relaxed. I’m really into it. I won’t say the food is delicious or charming cuz it didn’t make me surprised. It has very good vibe and environment. I could spend all day long there with my laptop, a cup of coffee, and maybe some pedestrians outside.

    Delicious tarts and a service lady who made an effort to patiently explain us all the options in English.

    The pastries are not fresh. Yesterday's croissants were sold to us in the morning. But coffee isn’t bad

    Great pastries and nice coffee :) Staff didn’t know much English but they made a lot of effort to communicate with me and my friend.

  • 4/5 Geerisha 1 year ago on Google
    Good coffee and bakery but expensive. Worst you have to pay for toilet.

  • 1/5 Learn Albanian O. 1 year ago on Google
    The tattooed lady was sooo rude after I asked whether I could drink there and not take with me. The WiFi was there, but no internet. No toilets.

  • 5/5 İlhan Ozan T. 1 year ago on Google
    You can enjoy your coffee while watching the street and eating a very delicious pudding puffies.

  • 3/5 Georgi I. 1 year ago on Google
    Kind of a hidden place in the center to get some coffee and cake. The tables were not very clean and the lady behind the counter was not the friendliest. In comparison to other bakeries in Cologne, this one didn't do much to stand out.

    Hot breakfast is not freshly made for you but served from the counter and just heat up. The cutlery is dirty. Payed 10 eur and did not eat. That was terrible start of the day.

  • 5/5 Ferdy W. 1 year ago on Google
    Good coffee, bakery & cakes... But if you go to toilet is not free .. you have to pay 50 cent at least.

  • 1/5 Hemn D. 2 years ago on Google
    The most rude shop and personal i have seen in my life absolutely zero service, just for asking where is my cake she got angry that there is other Costmer in line as if i have not waited in the lane for my turn never 👎 coming back.

    My favourite bakery for a break when I am in Cologne: Excellent cakes and their "Kommissbrot" is second to none. I never go back home from Cologne without buying one

    We were visitors of Cologne and yesterday morning 09 Of April we visited this bakery in Cologne close to the Cathedral. Except from the very good quality of food and the beautiful environment of the Bakery the management of this branch should take care of few of the staff who are really rude with the customers! It it is low quality of service but acceptable that they don’t want to speak in English with tourists. It is not acceptable for the employee to laugh with foreign customers and say things in German, so the customers-tourists can’t understand, to other German customers and also to the other staff. The lady behind the desk was ironic and showed so much disrespect to us because we weren’t Germans or we couldn’t understand German language. I have never faced this attitude in my visits to Cologne. The staff should know from the management that customers pay the business and business pay their salaries! So 5 stars for the quality of the food and the place but 1 star for the lady behind the desk!!

  • 3/5 Elena R. 2 years ago on Google
    as it is not thoughtful, a croissant is sold in one place and coffee in another place, stood in line for coffee and then for a croissant in another. Food very good.

    Food, view and cashiers were amazing! But waiters were not appearing. Recommending to serve yourself ;)

    Wait time was astronomical for a coffee. One person working behind the counter and no waiters. Tables were stacked high with dirty plates. I had to clear off many trays and dirty cups to sit at a table. Coffee was made from a machine, very burnt.

    Watch out when paying with bank card when you're a tourist. they keep saying the the payment didn't go through, and make you re-do the payment a couple of times. After checking with my bank , it seems they made me pay more than once for the same amount. When I complained the first thing they say is that it isn't true. Also suddenly nobody understands English anymore. Because I kept insisting, they decided they would pay me back using their pin-terminal. Long story short, after a month still no money payback. A classic case of tourist scamming.
