We had a delicious brunch at Hommage, in Cologne city center, on Sunday morning…read more The employees were very nice, and spoke English for us. There was plenty of seating inside, and they even have a back patio with more seating. The cafe is full of old relics and vintage furniture, which gives it a cozy vibe. The ambience was very relaxed. I had the caramel cheesecake and scrambled eggs. The cheesecake might have been the best cheesecake I've ever had! The scrambled eggs were delicious - with fresh salad and goat cheese. My husband had a croissant and cappuccino - and was notably stealing off my plate!

I also want to thank the individual at the counter who took my order as he answered some questions I had about the food. I'm only sorry I couldn't try more items on the menu.

Walking the streets near to the Uni and feeling the need to eat something other than bratwurst, I…read morewas over the moon to stumble across the amazingly fresh, traditional German food of Lieblings. Inside is a cosy, kitsch cafe atmosphere; blackboards, embroidered hearts hung up everywhere, pegs holdings menus together... you know the kind of place. It suits it. I usually don't go in for "cute" but this was a welcome break from the bitterly cold winds. The waitresses spoke perfect English and helped us to choose from the menu. It included pancakes, sandwiches, fried noodle (a kind of gnocchi), coffees and cakes. The specials board also boasted schnitzel, which a couple nearby ordered and it looked fantastic. We went for a salmon pancake and fried noodles with cheese. Both dishes arrived with a fresh side salad. The pancake was more like a flat Yorkshire pud. The salmon had been baked in the batter with rosemary and a dollop of soured cream finished it off. The noodles were really tasty - full of cheese, fried onions and with a few mushrooms thrown in too. Definitely worth braving the winter winds for.

I do go here somewhat regularly and really enjoy the atmosphere. It's a cute little place with…read morereally nice food and drinks. Depending in the weather you can choose a table outside, too, they have blankets if it gets a little chilly at night. Their selection of teas is quite nice, they offer some home-made special "Schorle," too. The latter was not to our taste at all with some syrup in it that wasn't named on the menu. Their food was really good though, delicious quiches, salads, and some very nice cakes for dessert. The staff are really nice people, they take extra orders and are always very kind. Breakfast is excellent, too - you should come by this cozy spot. Enjoy!
