"Dieter Edling and his wife Kerstin made it: On June 1, 2019, they celebrate their five-year existence. With “Tapku” they managed to establish themselves. Numerous predecessors have failed in the website before. The reason is probably the homemade cakes and cakes. For example, a report in the Cologne city indicator praised the pastry. But also the tapas and other small dishes should taste neat. Therefore, the name of Café Tapas and Cake comes: Tapku. On Monday the day of rest is open from morning to 7 p.m. The offer is therefore from breakfast, lunch table, cake time to evening bread. When we drove from Sülz to Mülheim with the KVB line 13, we stopped for lunch at the Nußbaumerstraße in Neuehrenfeld. Ambience From the stop the outdoor area was visible: corner house with red color on the ground floor and tables on the street. Inside the café seemed more like a nice snack. On the big checkout are the cakes on the shelf. The actual guest room consists of just a few tables that are easy and easy to maintain: sealed surface, large paper napkin as base, a soda bottle with tulip. Seats are stable and comfortable. Cutlery comes with food. On the windows are many green plants erected cleanliness Everything worked neatly well maintained. Sanitary level to reach. Very small space. But clean and all right. Service An der Theke was a young woman who also served. In the kitchen behind him worked a man – probably the boss; because on the homepage stands that the owner produces everything himself. The map(s) There is a small map and the weekly selection on the table; Cake is ordered after “sight”. The tasteful food tapas plate tapku – four dishes from the menu (9,90 € Chorizo Salami – dates in the bacon – Queso Manchego – Black Tiger Shrimps – Dip Bread Small tapas rolls with many different variations possible (fish, cheese, Serano ham, Chorizo Salami etc., stood on the map and on the internet. I was somewhat disappointed by the “constitution”. But in taste there was no reason for a complaint. In the white dip there were green herbal notes. Opticly, it was a kind of Majonäse and also tasted like this: slightly greasy, slightly supple and powerful. The chorizo was slightly fried and additionally surrounded with a red paste. It tasted vigorously to paprika and was a little sharp. Also the three data in the bacon were warm and had a neat taste. Some garlic brought sweet sharp aromas. The three slices of cheese were cheese with bark. The taste corresponded to the norm. The two shrimps were fried with chili and garlic in olive oil. That was sharp. The four rectangular slices of bread were crucified and had grains in the dark flour. As a result, it is delicious, but I can make it a bit more beautiful at home. Flame cake with fresh white asparagus and Serrano ham (9,90 € from the daily menu The dish was served on a large, thin, oval wooden board. The flame cake had already been precut in irregularly large pieces. The dough was thin, crispy and tasty. The asparagus I had cut and cooked well. The sections were slightly seasoned. The ham was generously distributed over the whole court. The cream fraiche had been processed yellowish in color. Maybe Eidotter was involved; it almost looked like a Hollandaise. Herb slices were also incorporated. Something powerful or too fat maybe in consistency. But I'd probably try other flashcakes here. The actual strength of the house is certainly the cakes from its own production. Many products were filled with nuts. They looked delicious. But there were also at least three cakes without nuts. Cheese cream cake – 3,40 € The dough of the soil was probably a bisquit layer. Very simple and simple. Then followed the cheese cream filling. She was heavenly creamy and airy. Light citrus aromas rounded off the taste. Above was a thin dough cover, which was covered with fine powder sugar over and above. The piece was quite large – otherwise I would have tasted the chocolate cake with three varieties without flour. Grape variety with strawberry and rhubarb filling – 3,40 € This piece was also very large cut (the cake was probably only divided into eight pieces. There was a grape pastry baked. This dough was also loose and airy. The filling of strawberries and rhubarbs was marinated and very juicy. The cream was not so powerful either. Just delicious. Drinks Gerolsteiner Sprudel 1,00 l 5,40 € Espresso 2,00 € Cappuccino 2,80 € The coffee was strong and not too hot. The mixed drink had a very creamy milk cream crown at the top – with a heart of cocoa. There was also a baked heart of light grape vinegar with the inscription tapku. Value for money The cake pieces are really large to the extents and delicious in taste; also the lunch table is calculated correctly. Conclusion 3 – if it arises (at Essen 4 – again happy (at coffee and cakes (1 – certainly not again, 2 – hardly again, 3 – when it comes back, 4 – again happy, 5 – absolutely again – after “Kuechenreise” visit date: 14.05.2019 – noon – 2 persons My pleasant experiences are also in [here link]"
