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!

Hallo guys, So I'm in Koln (Cologne ) Germany right, and I'm diabetic, so when we get hungry we have to stop then and eat something. After, shopping I went back to this spot because food / pastries looked so, good. The lady's were nice! However, the guy (waiter) who came to my table kept disappearing to take other people orders who came in after me. I waited patiently, until I couldn't. I was hungry, diabetic hungry there's a difference. All I ordered was a cappuccino, & a mini egg sandwich & cucumber sandwich thingy. The 4th time he came back he barked @ me you pay me, but I didn't get any food yet. I had enough of him! I asked girls for manager before leaving. The waiter's demeanor is of a person who doesn't like certain races, and fine put up a sign saying so & we'll see how long u stay in business? It's 2026, not everyone is so ignorant anymore. I've traveled 70+ countries, and never had any waiter or anyone speak down to me like this, and No it wasn't a Tourist kinda hatred which is not ok either. He didn't want to serve me. So, if you're in Koln (Cologne) Do Not patronize this bakery / restaurant bc if you're Indian, Spanish, Arab, Black, Dark Italian etc. and get this guy he'll upset you & spoil your vacation. I spoke to the manager, but she looked afraid of him. However, if upper management allow him to run paying Tourist from different countries away they don't need your business. I guess Owner is so Rich he doesn't need anymore money. I guess his annual bottom line is in the green. So, many businesses go outta business because of waiters like him. Word gets around, and people stop coming. You've been warned! I Do Not, and would never recommend this spot. I left and ate @ elsewhere. Happily! I'm only included some photos so you'll know the spot. It's not the food it's the worker.

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.

I highly recommend the chicken sandwich, or whatever they have as a special. Or anything else.
