It was self-serve; we took a plate and filled it with however much we liked and the different plate sizes were different prices.

For the last 15 minutes of our time in Cologne, we got lunch at a chain bakery called Kamps. A2 had a chicken schnitzel burger/bun, mum had a custard pretzel-shaped pastry, and dad had a cinnamon and apple pastry. I had a roll with huge sunflower seeds (both on top and inside the bread), white ham, mustard, white soft cheese and lettuce (€3 something). A2 and I also shared a triangular shaped sweet bun with spots of cinnamon and a crunchy crust (€0.79). [caption id="attachment_2223" align="aligncenter" width="400"] Custard Pretzel...
