But today, railway stations are also shopping centres (around the clock – at least at large stations. We were on the way to a little holiday. Of course we had arrived too early in Cologne at the main station (love one bus earlier, you never know (changes of schedule, other tracks; a few days ago the fear that the drivers could strike; the train came – with a delay of only 10 minutes – but in a different order of the cars than at the indicator on the platform. But we found our place and everything was good. What do you do in the waiting period? It was in the morning and relatively fresh. The benches in the corridors were too uncomfortable. The good old waiting room from the past with many people (and their stories are no longer; only for first class or railway card customers there is an area. I always liked to be in waiting rooms. People are very interesting there. I'm watching and thinking about it. But there is no more. So go through the alleys and look at the offers: Wiener Feinbäckerei (the buns looked better for me earlier, Ditsch (supplies it everywhere at stations, still doesn't taste me, Gosch Sylt, Starbucks to name just a few. Somehow, we weren't so right. But we wanted some fresh coffee before the ride (on the train from the cans for expensive money we prefer to leave out. As the cuts we did not like, we simply bought bread with cheese filling at Merzenich – tasted very well on the train, made no crumbs and no fat fingers. At the second round we decided to “Coffee Fellows”. There were free places, but also a number of customers and the services looked friendly. Ambiente It is of course a self-service shop. But already at the counter you can read the offer well. At the tables there are also maps and on a sign that you should make your order at the counter. So, the principle understood. The seats are large and around the tables at a low height. Baggage is stored in the gaps. Garderobe is placed on open places or you hang over the armchair. On the wall stands “feel at home”. O.k. – but I like it better. But we are comfortable. Opened in American. The dishes are also described in German. Cleanliness Some customers bring back the tray, others leave it standing. The operators then clear the stuff themselves. There are no return cabinets in the room. And it's easy to handle. Sanitary In Cologne’s main railway station there is a “McClean” passage for everyone. Entrance to the area costs 1 Euro. The small localities do not have their own toilets. Service The two young ladies at the bar look friendly, smile and are quite helpful. You explain the process without stress: Order, pay at the counter. Then go around the corner. There the trays are ready. The coffee or rolls are placed on it. A few more steps to get ready to a table on the sugar, milk, napkins, spoon etc. If you've served there, get to the table of his choice. The map On the wall are the most important offers beaten and on the tables are cards like in an ice cream parlour. Breakfast, bagels, sandwiches, various cold and hot drinks and juices. All things are prepared in front of customers' eyes. Drinks We ordered two medium size cappuccino (3,50 € per cup . The coffee was freshly prepared from a machine and filled into the porcelain cups. If you want to take the drink, the brand to go is filled with lid in cardboard cups. The coffee was hot and the amount was relatively much. The taste was fine; the beans were moderately roasted. You can now sit in the restaurant for as long as you have a whim. When you leave, you will be kindly adopted. Price performance ratio At a station everything is expensive and here you have to pay relatively much. Conclusion 3 – if it results. The place is certainly not the worst in Cologne's railway station, which offers these goods. (1 – certainly not again, 2 – hardly again, 3 – if it results again, 4 – happy again, 5 – absolutely again – after “Kuechenreise”
