Terrible. We ordered a Diet Coke then waited over an hour for our food. People sat down after us ordered, ate and were gone. We asked where our food was and the rude waiter said he didn't know and we could cancel it. After an hour, we didn't want to cancel. Asked 10 minutes later, still said the same so we cancelled and walked out, rude waiter came after us and said we had to pay for our Diet Coke or he'd call the police. Don't worry we won't be back. I guess because we were straight tourists they didn't wait on us! read more

Amazing breakfast/brunch and service! The staff here cafe Rico really know how to treat all their customers right. You could tell from a mile away we were a group of tourist wandering around for a hearty breakfast. Unfortunately I don't remember or know how to pronounce the menu items but I ordered 3 things. The scrambled eggs breakfast platter, the German mini pancakes with vanilla and cherries, and the flamkuchen (German flatbread). First off I didn't know pickles would work so well with some scrambled eggs and buttered toast. The mini pancakes drizzled with the vanilla sauce (more like a custard) were the best pancakes I ever had. Finally the flamkuchen (bacon one) was delicious, super thin and crunchy with some chew as you get to the middle. Our table ordered about 20 items between 6 of us and we devoured everything. We did however agree that the cakes were more sour then we are used to in the states. Silly Americans right? read more

Café Rico - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cologne, NW

Although I just had a simple brunch, this was my best restaurant experience during my weekend in Cologne. We were delighted as soon as we walked into Cafe Rico. It's cute, clean, and modern inside, without being overly pretentious. Service was great, reasonably fast and friendly. Prices were reasonable, around 10 EUR or less for most of the breakfast options. I had some scrambled eggs with ham and tomatoes, which came with a bread basket. I finished it off with a Cafe Rico (basically a strong mocha) for dessert, and it was delicious. I'd love to come back and try their pancakes. read more

I ordered the Mit Frischen Heidelbeeren & Boubon Vanillesosse (Pancake with Blueberries & Boubon Vanilla). This is a large (~12inch diameter) German style pancake which is thinner then an American pancake, but also more dense. This was a delicious breakfast treat that was surprisingly filling. I highly recommend this for anyone like me who enjoys a sweet breakfast. The hot chocolate was also great (not as sweet and creamy as the Coco from the local Cologne Chocolate Museum restaurant). The ambience is very nice. This is a quiet cozy cafe with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. As with most German restaurants, beware the outdoor seating as Germans appear to love the taste and smell of cigarettes with their food. We had to move inside as the tables on all sides of us lit up. I tried some of my wife's apple pancakes, and immediately realized I had made the right choice with my blueberry selection! :-) The apple pancakes were tasty and quite healthy (we didn't taste any cinnamon), but simply we're not very sweet. I was in the mood for a sweet breakfast, and the blueberry pancakes with vanilla sauce delivered. I definitely recommend this venue for a delicious and filling breakfast. read more

I got the Farmer's omelet. It was good but was probably something I could make at home. Cheese platter was ok. Service was good. Main highlights is that this place is open Sundays, outdoor area, and cakes look fantastic. I took one to go and will try it this evening. read more

Good coffee, fair quality food and service. Ordered a scrambled eggs which was quite tasty and french breakfast that wasn't that good in terms of quality and freshness! read more

Really great for brunch and light lunch. I finally got around to heading here on the weekend and honestly it gets packed but well worth the wait. They have excellent coffee and brunch options as well as a fairly decent lunch menu from salads, to waffles, to scrambled eggs, and toe standard European breakfast with bread and boiled egg etc. really a great place to head over for brunch! read more

I have visited Cafe Rico on 3 occasions I visited Cologne as it serves my step-dad's favorite gin and tonic IN THE WORLD. While I haven't developed an appreciation for fine gin and tonics yet, I do love their desserts and wines here. If you want delicious, authentic German cakes, then look no further! read more

We were a group of 9, made a phone call 25mins before arriving, the waiter was honest about telling us they'll do their best to accommodate us despite the fact it was a busy day. They kept their word and prepared a big table for us. Service was really good, and the food was likewise very good. I would definitely recommend this place. Very friendly staff, atmosphere and good menu. Perfect for a brunch between friends or even a more romantic moment (try the breakfast for two formula). Possibility to split your bill. read more

This restaurant doesn't need another 5 star review but I'm giving it to then anyway because this place is so freaking good [I'm pregnant and food is basically my life right now so I feel like that means a lot coming from me]. Decided to check this place out based on other yelp reviews and it exceeded my expectations. I left feeling euphoric and repeating to my fiancé "that was so good!!" I had the blueberry German waffles with vanilla bourbon sauce because I had seen it in another review and it sounded amazing. It did not disappoint. In fact, it may have been the best pancake I've ever had in my life. The vanilla bourbon sauce came on the side and looked a bit like pancake batter but it was truly delicious. My fiancé had the scrambled egg breakfast with all the topping options (ham, bacon, tomatoes, herbs, cheese, mushrooms). I'm not super into scrambled eggs but these also might have been the best scrambled eggs I've ever had - cooked to perfection they were fluffy, moist, an super flavorful. Plus it came with a basket of bread and butter. We both had lattes which came out with plenty of frothed milk [my favorite part of any coffee] and were delicious. Restaurant was very cute and our waiter was super friendly, speaking to us in English and not making us feel like jerks for not speaking German. Oh yea, and the menus are in English which makes ordering much easier! We will most likely be going back later this morning for our last meal in Cologne. read more

Café Rico - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cologne, NW

Situated on the corner of Rudolfplatz, Cafe Rico is one of the few places that offer heated outside places, even in the cold season. Modern and attractive, if you are in search of a quality coffee brand to enjoy, you will find it here. The variaty of drinks is quite big and the prices between the limits of acceptance. What I really enjoyed are the spacious tables and very cosy sits, that you can make even more comfortable, with the pillows that are lying around. However, there are also few negative parts. One of them would be the music. I can hardly remeber to hear anything, and if yes, nothing suitable to the rest of the ambient. An other negative aspect, and which actually made me take away a star, is the organisation. Making your costumers to wait about 10-15 minutes for a reciep, is not how you earn them back. Fazit: Cafe Rico, thank you for the nice atmosphere, I had a real good time, but this time is just a simple goodbye, not a see you soon again! read more

Café Rico - Excellent cakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cologne, NW

Perfect Location to make a break during your shopping tour in Cologne. Coffee and cake of best quality, friendly service and well done decoration. Good for watching busy people on Mittelstrasse. read more

Came here for breakfast twice and both times was excellent. Service is fast and the location is nice both inside and out. It can get quite busy by mid morning on a weekend so you might have to take up space outside under a heater if it's cold but it's still worth it. Menus and waiters can come in English if needed. I had strammer max one time and an omelette the other and both were excellent. The people I ate with also enjoyed their dishes. I was new to strammer max so if you havent had it try it! The coffee was good and they also have a selection of juices which were nice. read more

We had breakfast at this cute cafe. We had a boiled egg, a scrambled egg, some bread rolls and jam. Everything was good, especially the scrambled egg. I would have preferred my egg to be softer but wasn't asked. Everything else was perfect and I will definitely return. Make reservations if you want to come on the weekend! read more

This cafe already has plenty of excellent reviews, but I have to agree with how great this place truly is! The coffee selection is like no other, in that it is huge, and the tastes were second to none. Then they have phenomenal food! I had their quiche, which came with a salad, and it was perfect. Service was great too! The waitress was very nice, attentive, and fast. The atmosphere was chill, and was definitely a place I could darn near spend all day in, starting with coffee, going into breakfast, into lunch, and then drinks, all while doing work on my laptop :). I could go on and on about how much I enjoyed this cafe, but I will stop, as I am sure you get the point as to how much I enjoyed it. Highly recommended, and do not pass this cafe up! read more
