Holm Kaffeerösterei Café Cologne

Warmth in Lindenthal

"The atmosphere is both minimalist and warm, and there is a good selection of drinks and pastries such as tartelettes, carrot cake and cinnamon buns."

Holm Kaffeerösterei Café in Cologne Lindenthal is right next to where my subway stops when I go to the office. Holm Kaffeerösterei Café opened in September 2022, but as I mainly work from home, I only noticed it last summer. And of course I had to try it. The atmosphere is both minimalist and warm, and there is a good selection of drinks (there are always two different espressos and a filter coffee on tap) and pastries such as tartelettes, carrot cake and cinnamon buns. The first time I went I had a double espresso and a pumpkin cheesecake (pictured), both delicious! 

They have actually been roasting speciality coffees in their roastery since 2019. Then they opened a café in Cologne Lindenthal with Miriam Caspers, the owner of the equally-lovely Café Walter. You can buy their filter coffees and espresso roasts in 250g and 100g bags, and they also offer courses (Barista, Latte-Art and Sensorik). 

If you feel like a walk after your coffee and/or a pastry, I recommend a stroll through the Stadtwald park, or perhaps a walk to the Melaten Cemetery or to the Lindenthal Kanäle, where you can also admire the Brutalist gem that is the Catholic Church of Christi Auferstehung.

Köski

Τhe "royal" Büdchen

Köski in Cologne is a real gem. Charlotte has taken this Büdchen, or kiosk, and made it into something else. I want to buy something every time I visit.
