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.

Their 'apewiches' are, hands down, the most flavorful sandwiches I have ever had in Germany (making me miss my favorite sandwich shop in the US). The 'salapes' are just as tasty and a really great value. You get to choose the combination of ingredients you'd like and can pretty much create a new salad every time you visit! I highly recommend the chicken sandwich, or whatever they have as a special. Or anything else.

The ratio of ingredients was a bit off too, I feel like strawberries and bananas on top of what they added would have been more filling. The matcha latté was okay, nothing special.

I had the acai power bowl and my husband had the matcha bowl. Both were delicious and beautifully prepared with fresh, healthy ingredients, and the smoothie portion was very well-blended.

My only recommendation would be to increase the smoothie ratio in the bowls a bit, as they looked a bit scant compared to acai bowls I've seen elsewhere. Definitely stop by this cute cafe for a smoothie, sandwich, or any number of the healthy and creative alternatives on the menu.
