Goodchild Café in Cologne concludes: Farewell to croissant artists!

The popular Goodchild Café on Sudermannstrasse says goodbye to its guests. After four years of successful time in the Agnesviertel, the café will close its doors at the end of June. Linda Nguyen and Marvin Lausberg, the operators of the café, made this decision to go on parental leave and leave Germany. The step comes after the café was founded out of necessity when the previous bistro "Délibon" was closed because of the pandemic, such as ksta.de reported.

In this short time, the Goodchild Café has earned an excellent reputation. The combination of freshly prepared croissants and high quality coffee has many Cologne -based people: inspired on the inside. In particular, the croissant variants, such as the MandelCroissant with homemade almond cream, have turned out to be a real audience racer. Linda, who attended a patient school in California, ensures that everything that is served in the café is of the highest quality. Fresh ingredients from the weekly market and animal products from regional farmers come into their own, such as insider tip-koeln.de

a new beginning with "Drip"

But the Cologne names don't have to stay long about closing the café. There is already a successor: the new café will bear the name "Drip" and will continue to offer coffee as well as sweet and hearty snacks. After the goodchild café was closed, however, there will be a small conversion phase before the new operators can open their doors inside.

The challenge in the gastro scene remains present. According to dish.co , 2024 was a significant year for the catering, in which lunch and brunches celebrated a comeback. The demand for flexible menu concepts has increased and guests are increasingly opting for spontaneous restaurant visits. In the new café "Drip" you will probably try to pick up these trends and create inviting atmosphere.

a living piece of Cologne

The Goodchild Café will certainly leave a gap in Cologne gastronomy. It was not only a place for good coffee, but also a small oasis for everyone who wanted to enjoy the Australly inspired minimalist rooms and the delicious treats. The highlights also included the so-called cruffin, which goes through a three-day cycle before finding its way into the display.

The challenges, especially the lack of personnel, did not fail to materialize, and yet the café never lost to creativity and attention to detail. So it remains to be hoped that the “Drip” team can also build on the old tradition with a good hand and that the Cologne residents delight with fresh ideas and delicious dishes.
