Milestones
It all began in 2018 in a rented kitchen in Cologne's Südstadt district. With an old espresso machine and the idea of combining coffee moments with creative everyday rituals. The first months were tough: little sleep, many failed batches, but also the first regulars who kept coming back.
The turning point came in 2020 when we opened our first small café on Willi-Vollmer-Gasse. Instead of quick to-go cups, we focused on a calm, almost library-like atmosphere – with space for reading, sketching, and lingering. Today, we work with five permanent baristas and supply three local bookstores with our house blend.
Coffeeyaa was born from the desire to carry the relaxed spirit of a café into everyday digital life. We believe that small, mindful moments – a cup of coffee, a creative break, a good conversation – make all the difference. Our project thrives on the idea that enjoyment and productivity are not contradictions, but rather enrich each other.
