I was just taken there by my girlfriend and was pleasently surprised! :) Great food and a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and forthcoming. We tried some cake, a hot dog and an cold cocoa with vannila ice cream and were not disappointed. Being non-vegan myself I was very fond of the vegan food I was served and can recommend it - we will visit again! :)

For my birthday I ordered a peanut chocolate cake and it was simply amazing. I have also taken slices from their cakes to go and it is always a good decision. Last time they had mango raw cake that although I was a bit skeptical about it, it was delicious. Plus they are not expensive, considering they are vegan cakes. I highly recommend ordering cakes with them for special occasions.

Whether you're vegan or you have to have dairy free foods. This is a nice little spot. It's a small dining area, just managed to fit 2 pushchairs inside but you can take away. I had the pistachio and my wife had the cherry cake with an oatmilk latte. Absolutely delicious with super friendly staff.

Little (5 tables - one kid chair) quiet and cosy place. Excellent atmosphère (decor is simple, something retro, great pictures are displayed on the walls). Friendly and efficient service. Exists since 2013. The playlist was truly my style (indé rock, good classics). A real and creative variety of salty and sweet vegan bites. Kids friendly but also a cool place for work. No WiFi but you can connect to the city center’s one. No WC, you have to go nearby. Accepts only cash so plan to withdraw some beforehand. I’ve ordered a cappuccino with almonds milk (+0,50€), a two fresh, different sides “mett brötchen” (amazing taste and texture!), a rawesome blueberries cheesecake (coconut based) and a matcha-white chocolate cookie (This last one tasted surprisingly salty to me). I’ve also taken away some chocolate fudge cake and two sandwiches. All of this for less than 17€! The takeaway packaging are eco friendly and convenient. I will probably recommend this nice place on my blog soon and coming back when I will be visiting Cologne in the future since there is a lot still to discover here.
