Lovely place, delicious food - Edit
I went there starving on a Sunday and tasted their “flammkuchen” sandwich and their chocolate croissant. Both were amazing. I paid 12€ in total for all of this & a coffee, super good value for money. The place is super cute and the staff was friendly

Perfect - Edit
Walked past here on the way to my hostel, I was early for check in so this was perfect. Lovely coffee and a tiramisu croissant. Would definitely have had a sandwich if I'd had more space!

Leckeres Essen und gute Auswahl - Edit
Mir hat das Café so gut gefallen, dass ich zwei Tage hintereinander dort gegessen habe. Am ersten Tag habe ich ein Cashew Mozzarella Panini und einen Tiramisu Croissant gegessen. Am zweiten Tag gab es ein Karotten Lachs Brötchen und einen Crossaint. Alles hat mir sehr gut geschmeckt.

Hempies - Edit
Friendly staff and nice looking baked goods. I must have selected the wrong item here because I did not like the Franz roll at all, it was so dry and bland that I just threw it away. I might have been better off getting a croissant instead.

Great cafe. - Edit
Each time we went in it was busy and you can tell why.
Read moreThe coffee was really nice. The panini we had was tasty. Staff were really nice and lots of items to choose from.
Only negative I would say is the amount of places to sit. They have loads more space to add but that might change the vibe.
Pros: Choice of food , Taste of the coffee , Fully vegan

Tolles cafe - Edit
Wir hatten eine nussecke, die super lecker war und Croissant, die gefüllt mit einer zimtcreme waren. Auch wenn wir erst nachmittags dort waren, waren die Croissants knusprig und super lecker. Auch die heißgetränke waren sehr lecker. Nur zu empfehlen! Auch die Mitarbeiter sind super freundlich

The best homemade vegan food in town - Edit
Delicious sandwiches, everything looked great, hard to choose between all those goodies. Everything was freshly prepared and homemade, you could taste that immediately from the delicious taste. Very friendly staff, a staff member realized we were Dutch and explained everything to us in Dutch. The decor looks hip and cozy.

Will be coming back - Edit
Food was super delicious and the coffee good too. I didn't try the new lavender latte this time, but will definitely next time. I enjoyed the great selection of sweet and savoury items.
Read moreStaff are friendly and the place openly queer-friendly. Would've wished for more seating options, but since it's a small space, limited seating is to be expected.

Very comfy café - Edit
Small vegan café in Cologne's inner city. Great selection of vegan sandwiches, sweets and more. Everything was very tasty. The ambience itself feels very homey and comfortable, while staff were friendly. Great place for buying a snack on the go or sitting down in. Nice touch is also that you get to buy leftover baked goods at a reduced price : ) Definitely recommend!

Made with love - Edit
I know them since they opened with their food truck at Mediapark. Now owning an own café is a huge and amazing next step. If you’re into German Brotzeit this is the place for you.
Read moreThe café itself is lovely and nicely decorated. I love the location close to Belgisches And Friesenviertel - the best suburbs ;)
You can also buy Guru Granola here (vegan, Ayurveda).
Book exchange as well
Displayed you will find German Brötchen with homemade mozzarella out of tofu and pesto or with lettuce and vegan cheese. They also have filled vegan croissants.
Bread and croissants are all bought, but fillings are done in house.
Haven’t tried the coffee yet. Mozzarella and pesto was good. Prices are upper end for “belegte Brote”.
