This is a hidden gem, just 5 mins from the Chocolate Museum. Delicious food and drinks, made fresh to order. Quiet place well worth the visit.

Lovely staff, so welcoming. Matcha and chai both excellent. Daughter loved the French toast. Highlight of the visit are the staff though, they were so kind to everyone that walked through the door!

I don’t get the idea behind this café. Why does it claim to be a concept store - it doesn’t sell anything? Why this odd box branding? It almost feels like a pick up point while not being one. The menu offers a large variety of everything possible, which is always a bit sketchy for me, but I won’t be hasty to judge, since I didn’t eat here. The coffee-based drinks were very decent. The downside, however, is the service - albeit very friendly staff - extremely slow and inefficient.

So happy I discovered this place for breakfast on Google maps. Saw great reviews and had to give it a try. I got a spot by the window which was lovely. I had the French toasts and it was delicious. The fresh O-Saft and coffee were great too. Would happily go back if in Cologne.

We stumbled upon Café Boxenstopp in Cologne and were absolutely delighted! The staff spoke excellent English and were incredibly welcoming. The cappuccino was one of the best we’ve had—smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced. I tried the apricot cake, and it was simply amazing—moist, flavorful, and not overly sweet. The cozy atmosphere and friendly service made it a perfect spot to relax. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a charming café experience in Cologne.
