Café Reichard is a wonderful place to grab Lunch, or an afternoon Kaffee und Apfelpfannkuchen as I…read moredid. The Café is conveniently located just across the street from Kölner Dom. It has both indoor and outdoor seating. Smoking is allowed outside, in a designated area. The food here is very good. But where Café Reichard excels, is at their dessert. The four of us descended upon Café Reichard, after a long and enjoyable afternoon visiting the cathedral. It was magnificent experience, see review and photos. Since it looked like rain, we decided to sit at a covered table. We decided to try a little bit of this and that. But first, we needed some strong German Kaffee to get our motors going again. LOL As I said, I went with the Apfelpfannkuchen €12,60 (see photo). While others tried the Schnitzel und Kartoffel €27,10, Ofenfrische Heidekartoffel mit Kräuterrahm, or Turkey with a Baked Potato. All were very good and tasty, but the Kutchen (desserts) were the best. Depending on how hungry, or thirsty you are, expect to spend €25.00 each.

He also had some awesome coasters with cat and planet designs. If you're ever in Cologne, Germany, I recommend wandering around, getting a little lost, and finding this place!

5 Stars for great espresso-based coffee drinks in a cool environment…read more I was looking for a good coffee shop in Koln and saw a different coffee shop listed at this location. Luckily, it was Meinstein and not just closed! This is a short walk from the old city, no bus or car necessary. It's on a non-descript corner, so you'll likely find folks who sought it out. The inside is bright and modern, and they serve a great oatmilk cap. We enjoyed it by the window, chatted with the super friendly owner, and vowed to return one day. Easy 5 stars!

We were looking for somewhere to have breakfast before visiting the Chocolate museum, and this…read morebakery appeared in our search. We are so glad we went! I had a brötchen and a croissant, and my husband had a mini pizza and a croissant, and everything was delicious! We were there around 11 AM, so we didn't expect all the breads to still be so fresh. It's not a chain bakery, and it's probably more meant to be for locals, but we had a great experience. Service was friendly and attentive, and the breakfast is still one of the best we've had on our trip. Definitely recommend!

Best time to go is straight in the morning when they open because their breads and cakes and whatever they sell is FRESH! Pricing (5/5): SUPER IMPRESSED. They have some phenomenal deals for their baked goods! They have an offer where you buy a certain amount then it's a certain amount of euros. I got 8 mini donuts for less than 3€!! Baked goods (5/5): they have a huge variety of baked goods which included breads, sandwiches, cakes and sweets, and other yummy noms. The mini donuts I got were SO GOOD! They were not deep fried and not too sweet. They had chocolate on top which made it the right balance. The dough was chewy and thick and had a good density to them. Service (5/5): the ladies behind the counter were super sweet! One of them understood English and spoke a bit herself so that was good! Very impressed and definitely recommend coming here if you happen to be in this area in Düsseldorf!

The employees inside weren't very welcoming or helpful with what we were trying to get. Cool idea and name, average ice cream.

Super cute gelato place near downtown Cologne! I came here because we had recently gone on a beer…read moretour and our tour guide really sold us on this place. I was craving some good ice cream and the weather was perfect for a small dessert. The place itself is very cute and nicely decorated. The shop is owned by this famous football (I think) player, whose hometown is Cologne and apparently he stops by his ice cream shop from time to time which I thought was pretty neat. I got the pistachio cup and it came with a waffle cracker! The pistachio was super creamy and it also had chunks of the nut which I really liked. A very cute shop with very nice workers! Would come back.

I was extremely disappointed by my experience here. I had researched this shop before visiting and…read morewas genuinely excited to try the sorbet. After purchasing my sorbet, I took a photo of the flavor display inside the shop, which is a completely normal thing for customers and tourists to do I am blogger and was going to share my experience An employee immediately began yelling at me, accusing me of taking photos I was not allowed to take. I explained that I was simply taking a picture of the ice cream flavors, but he continued to raise his voice, demanded that I delete the photo, and even wanted to see my phone to verify it had been deleted. The entire interaction was embarrassing, uncomfortable, and completely unnecessary. This is a highly touristy area where people take photos every day. If there is a policy regarding photography, it should be communicated politely and professionally--not through yelling at paying customers. What should have been a fun stop for a treat became one of the most unpleasant customer service experiences I've had while traveling. The employee's behavior put a damper on the rest of my afternoon and evening. The sorbet wasn't that good and the way I was treated completely overshadowed the experience. If you choose to work in customer service, especially in a tourist destination, treating customers with basic courtesy and respect should be expected

While walking around Cologne, I kept seeing locals with the most delicious looking Berliner donut…read morepastries. I saw they were getting them at Merzenich, a popular bakery chain in Germany. I decided to get one because the pastries looked so good and sweet. This location has a sit down area inside as well as an exterior takeaway counter. It took a little while to jostle the crowds to order (and busy locals had no problem shoving in front of us tourists), but eventually we were able to place our order. The staff here isn't the friendliest around, and the woman behind the counter's tone quickly changed when she learned that we weren't from Germany. No matter, I really wanted that pastry! Behind the counter you could see lots of tasty looking pastries, breads, pretzels, rolls, cakes, pies, and sandwiches. You could easily make a quick, filling, and affordable meal here. Prices were reasonable (my donut was less than a dollar). Inside, you can also get coffee and espresso-based beverages. I wouldn't go out of my way to stop here again, but it was a great detour for a bit of afternoon pick-me-up energy.

VERGLEICH zu CoCo und anderen Bingsu Läden in Düsseldorf:…read more Das Namu cafe: + Mehr bingsu Varianten + Von vielen Asiaten besucht + Hat injeolmi als Variante + Bingsu an sich (weiß shaved iced) schmeckt am besten - süß, leicht cremig und geschmackvoll + Mochi von injeolmi und injeolmi Schmecken gut - Preis 9,40€, teurer als coco - Sehr wenig toppings, dadurch ggf langweilig Ich find das namu als Abwechslung sehr schön und vor allem, wenn man auf verschiedene Varianten wert legt. Sollte der Wert darauf legen, dass man möglichst viele Toppings kriegt finde ich geschmacklich, dass Coco unschlagbar. Insgesamt das Namu als als Abwechslung vollkommen in Ordnung aber insgesamt würde ich tendenziell als jemand, der auf die Toppingssteht und Reichhaltigkeit sowie Preisleistung ins coco gehen.
