Craftista in Cologne

I'm so excited about this place, I have to cross-post. Any vegans in Cologne reading this blog? Feel like meeting up for a cupcake?

After a year of looking for a cafe to spend Sunday mornings sipping away at, we've found the ideal place only a short bike ride away: Craftista. It's, funny enough, located just two blocks from our old abode and three from a new store in town called English-Books-and-Tea. Guess we moved away too early. It's also, ha ha ha, the only vegan place in town. Just when I committed myself to losing the 10 extra pounds I've gained and getting back into shape, a totally vegan cafe serving carrot cake and slices of Donau Welle - a cherry laced cream-topped torte - shows up. So now I've cut out chocolate completely in order to save my calories for our weekly visit there. I only wish they'd opened before I wrote that Veg Germany article lamenting the lack of vegan places nearby. The topper of it all is that the owners are younger than me, cooler than me, and one of them used to spend summers in Milwaukee.

PS For non-vegan hipster visitors to Cologne, this place is also a record shop and store, one of the best places to get your indy goods.
