Awli Backyard Coffee .... Cologne’s chillest caffeine sanctuary This place is what happens when great coffee, good vibes, and outrageously friendly baristas have a beautiful backyard baby. You walk in for a quick espresso and suddenly you’re considering moving in, naming a plant, and asking if they offer long-term desk rentals. The coffee? Smooth enough to make you question your past life choices. The space? Feels like a Wes Anderson film, but with better pastries. And the baristas? Absolute legends. Super friendly, always smiling, and somehow know what you need before you do. It honestly feels more like hanging out at a friend’s home....if that friend had amazing taste and an espresso machine worth more than your rent. Come for the flat white. Stay because your soul said “Yep, this is it.”
