The best bakery, we know in germany! - Edit
What can I write here?
Read moreAnyone on a diet will hate this place, but they probably have something for you too. Otherwise, it's a dream. This is pretty much how I imagine croissant heaven. Luckily, we don't live in Cologne, otherwise I'd spend all my money there.
Pros: croissant, service

In Ordnung - Edit
Die Location ist super süß und sie hat ganz liebe Mitarbeiter, für die auch Sonderwünsche gar kein Problem sind. Dahingehend ist Hempies wirklich toll.
Read moreAber: Es gibt meines Erachtens nach wirklich hohe Preise. Hinzu kommt dann, dass manches geschmacklich gut ist, anderes, was wir probiert haben, uns wiederum (gar) nicht gefallen hat.
Ist denke ich eine Geschmackssache, bei uns gab es kein wunschlos glückliches Match, aber vielleicht ja bei anderen :)
Pros: Auswahl, Cozy Location
Cons: Hohe Preise

Cute Cafe - Edit
If it fits, it fits. Some seats are in a small corner and not every place is comfortable.
Read moreThe offer a huge and interesting range of food like croissants and pretzel stick and of course coffee.
We chose some tea a special pumpkin spice latte, chocolate croissant and the pretzel stick “noras garden”.
I wasn’t a big fan of the chocolate croissant, cause I disliked the chocolate cream. I neither liked the taste nor the texture. I hope for a better try next time.
Staff was lovely and friendly.
Payment with card only.
Pros: Fully vegan

Excellent vegan snacks - Edit
Cozy inside vibe, was able to work on my laptop as well (theres a sign on certain tables saying "no laptop" on Saturdays and Sundays) with decent WiFi. More importantly, the food was excellent, I had a carrot sandwich which I believe replicates salmon (and did so very well, much better than other carrot salmon alternatives if previously tried) and a croissant with salami/cheese/tomato served hot. Both fantastic

Nicht mehr wie vorher - Edit
Wir waren heute wieder im Hempies. Leider akzeptieren die keine Barzahlung mehr. Hinzu kommt noch das die nicht alle gängigen Karten akzeptieren. Ich konnte mit meiner Amex nicht bezahlen. Das man mittlerweile schon kein Bargeld nimmt find ich nicht gut, aber das man dann noch vorher fragen muss, welche Karten akzeptiert werden. Daher muss ich den Laden leider abwerten. Essen war super.
Read moreAltes Feedback:
War wirklich lecker. Als wir da waren, war es sehr voll. Also an einem Samstag, würde ich eine gewisse Wartezeit mit einplanen. Barzahlung möglich.

Leckere Sandwiches - Edit
Wir hatten ein belegtes Croissant mit Gouda und Salami (ok aber eher langweilig) und ein ziemlich tolles Baguette mit hausgemachtem Mozzarella. Qualitativ war irgendwie ein ziemlicher Sprung zwischen den beiden Gerichten und ich hatte das Croissant daher leider ein * Abzug. Vielleicht bin ich ja nicht alleine mit der Meinung und das Croissant wird nochmal überarbeitet😉
Read morePros: Süsser Laden, Nettes Team
Cons: Belegtes Croissant leider langweilig

0/10 service but tasty - Edit
Completely incompetent staff, unable to remember orders, super long lines, then they pull people who just want to pay but end up buying something else. When we finally got to the front of the line, they had to wash the dishes first. And when everything was paid for, they no longer had the items.

a favorite for sure! - Edit
One of the loveliest cafés I've ever been to! Their selection was amazing, it's not huge but everything they do offer is so special, I love the creative croissants and that they have both very good sweet and also savory options. I would love to try everything they have to offer. The café is cozy and staff is sweet, it was very crowded but that only showed that the café is deservingly popular. I had the Bienenstich latte, Kimchi croissant and a donut, everything was delicious!!! would get the bienenstich latte everytime I go there honestly, when I'm in cologne I will definitely return to Hempies and also recommend it to everyone I know

Einzigartig - Edit
Ein voll Café ist ja erstmal super! Aber dazu sind die angebotenen Gerichte noch sehr besonders. Gefüllte Croissants sind sehr zu empfehlen, auch das gegrillte Käsecroissant. Und dir belegten Brötchen mit Spiegelei, Mozzarella usw... ich hätte das gerne in Berlin.

Perfect spot for food - Edit
It was karnival in Cologne and I was starving. It was hard to find somewhere open, but I was very happy this place was.
Read moreThe shop is small and perfect for getting quick bites and delicious coffee drinks. They have a bunch of different sandwiches and paninis.
The people who served me also spoke English so that helped because I don't speak German.
They have a fridge to get cold drinks from, glasses for free water, as well as a large menu of hot drinks they will make there at the counter.
There are a few small tables and one or two larger tables for bigger groups, but it's a cozy spot.
I got two sandwiches. The first was the "Early Bird" which was a tofu "egg" sandwich on a multi grain bun. I thought the tofu egg was really good and the bread was ok. I was starving so I ordered more food. I got the "Grill me" which was a panini sandwich with vegan salami and mozzarella. It had the best flavor and texture. I would get that one again next time.
The Apple chai was delicious. They used oat milk in it and it was the perfect level of hot where you could drink it immediately when it came out. It wasn't boiling my tongue off. The spice and apple flavors were sweet and delicious.
Pros: Lots of sandwiches , Open during karnival , Takes cash and card

Musste direkt an Justin denken💗 - Edit
Schmackofatz vom Feinsten, ihr Lieben. Hab heut meinen Alten ins Cafe geschleppt.
Read moreGanz liebes Personal, aber die Kunden, Hipster vom Feinsten. Sieht einer aus wie die andere und alle starren auf ein Display. Aber ey, Essen ging hart nach vorn. Croissants, Panini und Kaffee, süßer als der Hintern von meinem Nachbarn Justin. Bombe, kommen safe wieder.
Pros: Süßes & Deftiges
Cons: Freies WLAN (Hipster-Mottenlicht), Eingangs-Glocke ballert

Tolles Frühstück - Edit
War sehr lecker und es gab eine tolle Auswahl an belegten Brötchen / Paninis und Süßgebäck. Preise nicht unbedingt günstig, aber unter dem Aspekt, dass es vegan und in einer Großstadt ist, vollkommen in Ordnung
