Kioki matcha & coffee - Düsseldorf Wagnerstr. — Restaurant in Dusseldorf

If you're looking for a place to work on your laptop, do not come here on the weekend! After ordering and receiving my food, I was told that laptops were not allowed. I understand their policy, but I still felt disappointed since my main reason for coming was to study for a while.

As for the food, I tried the pistachio cheesecake, and it was quite disappointing. The pistachio topping didn’t taste fresh at all—I suspect the cake was from at least the day before. I came in the morning, and there was already a layer of condensation on the surface, which made it unappetizing. The cheesecake itself was just okay—completely solid, but I expected a smoother, more velvety texture. The bottom layer wasn’t the usual cookie crust but instead a dry, crumbly, pre-baked bread-like base, which didn't work well. Overall, not a great snack.

For the coffee, I had an Americano, which was fine—nothing special, but drinkable.

Would I come back? Probably not, at least not...

I had strawberry matcha latte and cheesecake and they were very tasty. Even though I'm not a fan of both cheesecake and matcha but those were seriously good. However the service was quite bad, the staff were slow and a bit messy there with the order and the waiting customers. They should have had a beep beep device where customers can have one and just simply sit at their table waiting for the sound, instead of letting customers standing around in front of the counter like right now. It's not nice a view like that. My husband and I had a table indoor so we didn't have to stand near the counter to wait for our order, but we had to always stay alert to try to listen when our drinks were ready. When it was ready, the staff would call out the name of the drinks. What happened if we didn't hear it? We are living in 2024 guys. We have...

We tried the matcha cheesecake. It looked really good, so we were even more disappointed after tasting it. The texture was way too solid and sticky to my liking. It didn‘t taste like matcha at all, only like cheese, straight up from the farm. Furthermore we also tried their signature original iced matcha latte with oat milk. Similar to the cheescake, the matcha flavour of the latte tasted plain. I found the place through the Coffee Trip app and was really looking forward to trying out the espresso there as well (it was the reason we went there in the first place). And I don‘t know if we just picked a bad date or whatever, but that espresso was undrinkable. It was the first time where I literally left the cup standing without taking a second sip. Overburned and acidic. Probably won‘t...
