nikOlala - Konstanz

The ambience is very special, you can buy part of the decoration (probably a kind of shabby chic / cottage style). It is very cosy, especially if it is cold outside.Unfortunately, the food / the beverages are only average. Last time we had tea and coffee, the tea bags were expired quite a long time and we agreed that the there are definitely better places to get a good coffee. And there are also better places to eat tasty pastry (Vogelhaus or Pano, for instance).

NikOlala is not just a cute store selling and displaying lots of home decorations, but also a café offering hot/cold beverages, beer/wine, soups, salads, toast/sandwiches, pastries, breads and a healthy breakfast alternative. All this and served by a friendly, smiling hostess. The atmosphere is relaxing with tables & chairs, a few sofas and a few high stools at the back of the business, near the counter. Fresh flowers and candles decorate all the tables, mellow music playing in the background and clean restrooms await you here. I had a soy milk hot chocolate which was served with a glass of water and a piece of chocolate for only 3€, a great deal. Highly recommended.

What a lovely and cosy place, without the stressed waiters you usually find in Constance. The cakes are great, the drinks are spot on and their finger food and soups are excellent (and be warned rather big in size). Especially the soups are great for cold December. Thus this is Constance secret garden for tranquility and excellent coffee!
