ERNST KAFFEERÖSTER
Ernst Kaffeeröster is the place to go for anyone in Cologne who wants to experience coffee with a focus on aroma, craftsmanship, and ambiance. The roastery and coffee bar opened in May 2014 in the Südstadt neighborhood on Bonner Straße, where Maren Ernst realized her dream of owning her own specialty roastery and café.
The focus is on specialty coffees from various growing regions, which are roasted on-site and brewed in the coffee bar. Ernst describes her approach as a quest for subtle flavor notes, suitable roast profiles, and precise preparation in the cup. Here, coffee isn’t just served—it’s brought to life with an eye toward origin, processing, and character.
Today, Ernst Kaffeeröster features not only a larger roaster but also a second coffee bar and an experienced team of baristas. Whether you prefer espresso, cappuccino, or filter coffee, a visit here is perfect for a mindful coffee break, picking up fresh beans to take home, or for anyone who wants to explore Cologne’s specialty coffee scene.
