One of my favorite brunch/dessert cafes in Cologne! Located in the downtown area, this spacious and…read morelovely cafe greets you with a quasi-red carpet and vivid colorful displays of chocolates, beautiful cakes, macarons, pastries, and sweet decorations. In contrast to many cafes, there are plenty of seats available and good for large groups, although they also take reservations if you're so inclined. The restaurant also serves several good options for brunch and breakfast options, and the service is friendly. I think this is a great place to meet up with friends and family for brunch, coffee, or a sweet and delicious cake in between shopping. I recommend the French vanilla layer cake. Two things that I noticed other reviewers commented on, which I will also briefly reiterate. Ordering system might seem foreign to some- you order your cake in the front where you can see the cakes, get a voucher, take a seat and then order your coffee, server takes your voucher, and will bring your drinks and cake together. In addition, we also noticed that on Sunday, they only offered large cups of coffee or cans, which was a bit odd. Another slight pet peeve that's standard in many German downtown restaurants/cafes but still somewhat annoying- there's a bathroom person expecting a tip for using their facilities, so you might need to have some spare change available. All in all, a cafe worth visiting. :)

Café Reichard is a wonderful place to grab Lunch, or an afternoon Kaffee und Apfelpfannkuchen as I…read moredid. The Café is conveniently located just across the street from Kölner Dom. It has both indoor and outdoor seating. Smoking is allowed outside, in a designated area. The food here is very good. But where Café Reichard excels, is at their dessert. The four of us descended upon Café Reichard, after a long and enjoyable afternoon visiting the cathedral. It was magnificent experience, see review and photos. Since it looked like rain, we decided to sit at a covered table. We decided to try a little bit of this and that. But first, we needed some strong German Kaffee to get our motors going again. LOL As I said, I went with the Apfelpfannkuchen €12,60 (see photo). While others tried the Schnitzel und Kartoffel €27,10, Ofenfrische Heidekartoffel mit Kräuterrahm, or Turkey with a Baked Potato. All were very good and tasty, but the Kutchen (desserts) were the best. Depending on how hungry, or thirsty you are, expect to spend €25.00 each.

We are staying at a hotel very near this shop and ate there for breakfast yesterday. We will eat…read morethere every morning during our stay because it is very convenient, has comfortable seating, good coffee from a machine, and nice sandwiches and pastries. There was an attendant making sandwiches to replace those purchased from the display so we knew they were fresh. My small sandwich was excellent, as was the chocolate cupcake I bought to consume later. Four stars because the coffee, while good, was from a machine and no table service. Prices were very good though.

My favorite bakery thus far in Cologne!…read more Everything I've tried here has been nothing but delicious. The cakes I've had Bienenstich, schokokuchen, kaesekuchen, schokocreme, Schwarzwälder ... einzigst der tiramisu ist bei einem Italiener authentischer.. auch broetchen schmecken hier einfach besser. Ebenfalls besteht auch ein fruehstuecks Buffet, was etwas versteckt um die Ecke liegt, inkl frisch gepresstem Orangensaft (zum selber pressen)-- der persönliche Highlight fuer mich. Preislich liegt schlechtriemen zwar nicht am untersten Ende des Spektrums aber ich finde total akzeptabel. Die einzige Macke ist das Personal was in Sache Bedienung nicht immer das freundlichste und schnellste ist.
