VAN DYCK Espressobar

I believe having good coffee and conversation is one of life's simplest and most beautiful pleasures, which is why I am always on the lookout for new cafés, not only in places I travel to but also in my own Cologne neighborhood. Cologne does not disappoint when it comes to great coffee roasts and making sure you're never far from the next place to get caffeinated and loaded with good ol' German pastries and bread. Have fun exploring the Domstadt & let me know if you enjoyed any of these spots!

Cologne may not be the most well-known culinary destination in Germany, but it is not because of a lack of good options. Whether you’re in search of traditional German fare, street food, or upscale dining options, Cologne has a surprising variety of great eateries. As a local foodie based in Cologne, I’m sharing all of my secrets in this restaurant guide! From hidden gems to local favorites, I will take you on a culinary journey through one of Germany’s most underrated cities.
