About

This small, cashless Cologne café pairs a large rotating cake and torte selection with paninis, bagels and quiche; the carrot-salmon bagel and Spaghetti-Eis cake are local standouts. Seating is close together and the room can get noisy or busy, while reviews praise the friendly staff and note that coffee and cakes can feel pricey.
