This is my favorite place for lunch in Cologne. Yes, the place is a little cramped and you may have…read moreto wait a bit for a place to sit, but I swear it's worth it once you taste their food. Their 'apewiches' are, hands down, the most flavorful sandwiches I have ever had in Germany (making me miss my favorite sandwich shop in the US). The 'salapes' are just as tasty and a really great value. You get to choose the combination of ingredients you'd like and can pretty much create a new salad every time you visit! I highly recommend the chicken sandwich, or whatever they have as a special. Or anything else. It's all delicious ;) It's a good thing I'm not on Ehrenstr that often, because I seriously cannot walk past Bad Ape without stopping by!

Like a seeded roll with salad and maybe some chicken or turkey? or even a turducken (I've never had a turducken sandwich but I think they should become real, maybe I'll open an artisan bread shop and to contrast the high quality bread I'll stuff the rolls full of Turducken in an effort to demonstrate the inequality we experience all to often in the western world, especially at the hands of hipsters in the LA farmers market scene). If you ever see a Turducken please ensure you kill it and eat it as they are verging on extinction and unless we consume more of them the supermarkets will stop stocking them and future generations may never get to experience the magic that is. Lovely sandwiches, freshly made, super price, great sweet treats also. Das ist Gut!

Everything we tried was absolutely delicious--the cheeses were rich in the Croque Monsieur and flavorful, they were silky and comforting, and every bite tasted like someone in the kitchen genuinely cared. The service was just as wonderful; our server was warm, attentive, cute AF and made us feel right at home. The outdoor seating was perfect for people-watching, which, let's be honest, These German guys are super handsome. Köln did not disappoint... I don't know what they're putting in the water here, but Germans really do make strolling down the street look like a model show. Anyways, whatever you do, save room for the chocolate soufflé. It rose higher than my self-control and disappeared faster than my promise to "just have one bite." A fantastic meal, great atmosphere, and definitely a place I'll happily return to!
