A great coffee and outside ambience is perfect ! Street is very calm and gives you good vibes. Inside sitting is bit modern. Breakfast prices are bit expensive I feel , especially traditional one. Staff is friendly and welcoming.

Really lovely place, hidden away in Cologne. Great coffee, very friendly service and awesome cakes! The place is also very cool decorated with a very nice minimalistic and hipsterish (in a good way) atmosphere. AND, you can also pay with cards which is a big plus!

This is the kind of place that gets the basics right. I come here when I want some quiet time alone. It’s not too crowded, and the staff aren’t overly busy or rushed. The cinnamon rolls aren’t overly buttery or sugary - just balanced and comforting. (Probably it was vegan?) Everything served here leans more toward honest, natural flavors rather than being overly sweet or sugar-coated. The coffee beans didn’t stand out with particular unique notes, but leaned toward nutty and chocolatey tones. Written for my 15th-ish visit SÜDLICHT café & shop Eifelwall 56, 50674 Köln
