Craftista! Cafe and Store in Cologne

There are few things we fear more than an angry, militant vegan. Similarly, there are few things we love more than a happy, friendly one. You can mingle with the latter variety at Craftista!, our favorite commercial space in Cologne.

The newly opened store-and-cafe hybrid is located near the Hansaring train station--that means direct access from the airport on the S13. Craftista! is part record store, part crafts store, and part vegan cafe. The record store (a small room in the back) sells independent music and posters, and its bargain bin actually contains stuff you might want. The main room houses the cafe and a display of hipster crafts for sale. There we picked up a hand-knit scarf, so fresh and local we can still smell the Rhine on it, for about €20. The cafe serves sweets and coffee and is packed on Saturday nights, so be ready to fight gently for that vegan sachertorte.
