Daisys Cafe Cologne

Full English in Zündorf

"Daisys Traditional Afternoon Tea consists of a pot of tea, salmon and cucumber sandwiches, a sultana scone, strawberry jam, clotted cream, and small cakes."

Daisys Tearoom & Garden is a cosy café in a half-timbered house just south of Cologne, on the right bank of the Rhine. Daisys is run by a friendly German/English couple.

You can go to Daisys without a reservation, but if you want to have afternoon tea or their Typical English Breakfast, you have to order in advance. To give you an idea, the Daisys Traditional Afternoon Tea consists of a pot of tea, salmon and cucumber sandwiches, a sultana scone, strawberry jam, clotted cream and small cakes. For an English breakfast, see my photo at the top of this article. They also serve other breakfasts such as French or vegan.

Afterwards, you can take a digestive walk around Obere Groov Lake, where, like me, you may marvel at the sight of a beaver for a long time, only to realise it was an invasive muskrat all along.

The Good Food

Love at second sight

Next to saving some money, the most important is: You are saving food that would have been otherwise thrown away because of either the best-to-date or how it looks.

St. Aposteln

Colourful frescoes in the old town

What struck me the most were the frescoes in the three apse ceilings by Hermann Gottfried. These powerful frescoes bring colors and dynamism to the church.
