Galestro Italian Espresso Cologne

The cake was frozen before serving, the water just rushed out. It was super gross. I was really hungry so I ate the drier parts with coffee to ignore the weird burst of water. I went for the coffee, I’ll never get anything besides that. And the tiramisu was super wack… The coffee is great, dessert- don’t waste your money. Service is good, the waiter is full power.

The food was ok, but the service was terrible. The waiter is really unpleasant, rude, and somehow aggressive. All our interactions were uncomfortable. We were my bf and I, waiting for our train in less than an hour. I told the waiter (Italian as me) we were in a hurry, and he replied, saying, Oh mamma mia, tutti di fretta siete! (Oh, mother, you 're all in a hurry), that I think it 's not something nice to say to a possible customer that is approaching you. Then I asked if they had anything lactose free, and he said yes, milk, ahah (that for me is a joke). Immediately after, I realised he was not joking and he was just unpleasant because I went inside asking what exactly was lactose free, and he said, Oh god, what do you want now? Again?? Nothing! All contain milk. (All our interactions were in Italian, that made everything sound even more rude). I don 't think this kind of answer is acceptable and I don 't recommend this place because of the bad service, since the food I had was not bad.

Super friendly service from a lady with Italian background, good espresso, croissant and the morning sun. Life’s goood.

Beautiful and cozy Italian caffe right in front of köln hbf. good coffee and very friendly staff. we ordered the salami panini and apple cake and they were delicious!

I always come to her place just gor her kakao. also cappuccino and croissants. but kakao is highly recommended. I drink 2/3 cups each time.
