My best coffee place in the whole Köln! I lived about one year just above it. The two owners are great ;) The place has a little '70 feel, just like some cafés from east Berlin! And the cakes... :)

Getting Around
Parking access is 30m from my flat.
However keep in mind the entrance for the car is a bit further, maybe 200m and it is at the corner of Maybachstr and Im Mediapark, close to CINEDOM. You cannot access the parking from Erftstrasse, left from the lake... I prefer telling you so you spare the pain to go reverse :)
Honestly, it is best to park on Erftstrasse/Spichernstrasse/GladbacherStr !!
Parkhaus Mediapark APCOA

This is one station from HBF. It is on Gleis 10/11 in the HBF and ALL trains going through Gleis 10/11 are passing through the Hansaring station. Just go there and pick the next one :)
Simpla make sure you are heading towards Hansaring. It is a 3 minute hop from HBF!

Sightseeing
This is the place to have a nice Apero. It is next to a famous park and is often hosting shows and events. So many Kölners are coming to enjoy the park, play, have a drink, run, etc...
The best Xmas Market also during... Xmas ;)
Funny enough the map puts it on the wrong place. It is really at 40 Venloer Str, much closer to home!!
