We stopped at this delicious local bakery to pick up something good to eat on our train trip…read moreheading west. Everything was delicious! Best things to try (do not know the names): --Bee sting cake slice (crunchy top w/cream filling over vanilla cake) --Apple strudel pie slice (glaze over the top crust) --Triangular chocolate nutty pastry --Small premade quiches You can eat in on plates or get everything to go. They accept credit cards and Apple Pay. The bakery is very close to the train station, just past the Kölner Dom, right in the middle of the older town area and near the main shopping street.

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.

Came here to grab some pastries on a weekday afternoon - got a cheese stick and a pecan sticky bun…read more The former was too salty for me but tasty, lots of cheese. The latter wasn't overly sweet which I appreciated, and the bread was really soft, quite enjoyed it. Lots of pecan as well. €5.60 for both which is a bit pricey but definitely tasty!

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!

Amazing and cozy place. Many different homemade cakes but their cheesecake is just absolutely…read moredelicious.

We visited this bakery twice when in Köln. We would have visited again on our last morning except…read morethat our train left before the opening. For breakfast, my husband and I split a delicious smoked salmon and egg sandwich and shared some pastries. He loves any custard filled pastry and enjoyed that. The staff's English was limited, and our German was limited, but we managed to place our orders and pay with no problems. The bakery is small but has several places to sit with comfortable tables and chairs and a beautiful view of the streets of Köln.

Walked in here earlier today to grab a Latté macchiato and also picked up a chocolate marble cake…read more-- note that the cake slice is huge -- the Latté was lovely and the cake ended up being my dinner (thank you jetlag). I love that cakes here aren't cakes like back home which is iced and sugar high (there are times when that works and other times when it doesn't) I prefer the German idea of cakes always! I'll be back tomorrow for an espresso :)

A nice bakery in town and part of a big chain around this and many other areas of Germany…read more The bread is generally quite ok and the coffee is ordinary. Given that it's in a small town where choices are slim, this is quite ok. Staff here are generally very nice and helpful.
