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!

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!

After a day of walking around only to find most places closed (it was Sunday), and noticing mostly…read morebreakfast menus, we wandered in to Die Rösterei for lunch. Die Rosterei = the roasters?. However, we didn't order anything roasted. They are known for their coffee roasting. Since it was lunch time, we ordered lunch instead of breakfast. My wiener schnitzel was perfect and the man's saffron risotto was delicious. Pleasant but slow service. An decent place for a quick lunch, especially when not many places are open on a Sunday. Just be prepared for slow service, even by European standards. Boring review, I know!

We dined here for brunch after we walked by other places in search of a place that served omelettes. Because it was a cold grey day, we dined inside which was very cozy and right next to the coffee bagging / roasting area. You don't get much of the smell in the front but in the rear of the restaurant. I unfortunately did not have the omelette. My breakfast came with a glass champagne and a variety of meats and cheeses including lox, ham, salami, and manchego. It was served with a basket of breads which just didn't do it for me... Only the white bread was toasted. I need my bread either hot and fresh or toasted. I would definitely suggest this place as a pit stop for a light breakfast and coffee.

Everyone seems to rave about this place, and on paper it seems very nice, but I was kind of…read moredisappointed. I went there once for a coffee to stay, and another time for a coffee and a croissant to go. The croissant was a bit meh (maybe the solution is just not to buy croissants in Germany). The coffee was not bad but not exceptional either. And the service was a bit sketchy and amateurish. I have ordered a coffee in my terrible German, and the person at the counter did not understand me (this was actually the first time, there is nothing arcane in "a Kaffee bitte"), I had to repeat several times while she was giggling (gosh, people, try to learn a new language and we will talk again). Then they asked if I wanted milk with the coffee, I said a clear 'no', and they brought it anyways. Maybe this is some kind of supposedly 'friendly' (as opposed to professional) service, but I think I prefer the professional service that one gets in Parisian cafés (and okay, I was a bit offended by the laughing at my attempts at speaking German). Maybe I will give the place another chance, because the Kuchen look rather tempting.

Maybe we are not regulars, but every regulars started as a new customer. When we enter the restaurant, it was so full, no waiter come to ask us about reservation or seating. We walk ahead to the small space behind the open bar and seated ourselves. Instead of coming to us personally and tell us that the place is booked, They raise their voice from the bar counter loud enough for everyone to hear that the seat is booked. We are so ashamed, and we did not know because there are no Reservation signs on the table. So to save our face, we drifted to the empty seat next to the door. although feeling humiliated, we decided to still stay and order. It was obvious that we both lost our appetite, so we just ordered drink and chat. It was sad that my expectations of this place was so high, but the experience was not even close to okay. :(
