Bakeries & cafés in Cologne

The Innenstadt holds half of the 16 Cologne places, most of them Italian-style ice-cream cafés, and spaghetti ice — vanilla ice cream pressed into strands to look like pasta — comes up in reviews of six places across the city. Eiscafé Raffaello on Am Hof is a few steps from the cathedral and also serves pizza. A second strand is Turkish and Middle Eastern pastry: Damla on Weidengasse serves kunafa, baklava and tea every day from 9 AM to midnight, and Mosaik Patisserie on Keupstraße in Mülheim pairs cakes and baklava with ice cream until 10 PM, or 11 PM on Fridays and Saturdays. Seven places list closing times of 10 PM or later on at least one day, while Porz, Chorweiler and Rodenkirchen each have a neighbourhood ice-cream parlour of their own.
