So, if you are looking for a child friendly café in Cologne, we are here to help. Check out the following spots we found:
Halli Galli - Das Eltern-Kind-Café
Café Halli Galli is located in Mozartstraße and offers several lovingly designed play areas and climbing facilities including a sandpit and a ball pool.
At the café you can enjoy hot and cold drinks and breakfast from Tuesday to Saturday until 1pm. On Sundays and public holidays, there is also a breakfast buffet from 10am to 1pm for a relaxed start to the day while the children are busy.
A new underwater-themed play world, which can be booked for children's birthday parties, has also been created in the basement.
This cozy café in the center of Cologne offers a welcoming atmosphere for families as well as a play area. As a special offer, the little ones can also explore the salt playroom. This is not only a place to play and explore – the salty air also offers health benefits as it strengthens the respiratory tract and immune system.
The café is located in the city center in the Eigelstein district and is open from Tuesday to Saturday.
In the Kindercafé Köln, children can discover and play while their parents enjoy a coffee. The menu includes cold, hot and child-friendly snacks.
It is located in Merkenicher Str. and open from Sunday to Friday from 11am to 6pm.
The following cafés are not typical Kindercafés but still offer a lot for families and are child friendly:
You can enjoy a delicious breakfast and brunch in Nippes at Café Wölkchen - absolutely family-friendly and not just worth a visit at the weekend.
The best thing about it: you can enjoy the many delicacies every day from Monday to Sunday.
This café is not exclusively aimed at families either, but still offers numerous pleasant extras. There is a play corner and a changing table, plenty of space for pushchairs and tasty children's dishes.
The cheesecake selection, all-day breakfast, delicious focaccias and free Wi-Fi also speak in favor of popping into Zülpicher Str..
And there's a lot more!
