Plant based crunchy chicken - Edit
Since Backwerk used Veganuary to bring out 2 new vegan products I had to try it out. I didn't feel hungry enough for both the products so I only ordered the Plant Based Crunchy Chicken which on a side note also looked better personally than the Plant Based Boule Falafel. I read online that the patty from the Chicken Sandwich is out of rice which I would have never guessed because it tasted really good and meaty. The panade wasn't crunchy but definitely tasty. Besides the patty it comes with tomato, salad and a vegan herb creme. It was filling and a great breakfast but could also be a good snack for the day. I hope these products will stay.

Suitable for Quick Launch - Edit
In my short trip to Cologne I always ate a vegetarian sandwich here and drank coffee or tea. There are so many options but most of them are not suitable for vegans or vegetarians. Yes, ingredients are written but only in german. But to be honest, as a tourist Balckwerk was a very quick solution.
Read morePros: Some veg. options, Quick meal, Easy to reach (as there’re so many branches)

I like BackWerk - Edit
I like BackWerk. You can always find something vegan to eat there. They label the ingredients of each product in German, I believe the vegan options also had the word 'vegan' in the name but I'm not sure as it's been a few weeks since I went to Cologne. In some places they offer more than in others, but this one had a few different buns including one with a lupine snitzel. It's just outside the station and you can sit there as well as do take away.
