Cafe Riese Köln

Awful cafe, can't order from the counter, give you coffee then 15 minutes later give you the croissant reason..?? It's coming from upstairs, making it fresh, only for another waiter to go u0026 pick it up from the front of the shop. No need to lie about it.

Won't be coming here again.

The café has a lovely sitting area outside and inside as well. The way it works is, you order whatever tea sandwich packet you like, 3, 5 or 7. You choose them at the counter, and the lady behind the counter will put the plate together and provide you with a tag that you place on your table. Then you go ahead and find a seat that you like. A server will come by, ask you for your drink order and make a note of your tag. They will bring the drinks and the sandwich place to the table.
The cafe has a wide selection of the teach sandwiches with or without meat. They are all very nicely arranged on a slice of bread and quite tasty. We tried roast beef with blackberry, caprese, latke with salmon, smoked salmon with onion. We also ordered a latte, cappuccino and a glass of milk. A plate of five sandwiches cost 11.30 euro and the total bill was 24.30, which was not bad, considering that three people had sufficient sustenance to last until dinner. Bread was very tasty too. We enjoyed our breakfast. As we were leaving, we got a couple of truffles they had for sale, they were delicious.

It is an elegant and a high-quality place. They have good coffee, cakes, chocolates and more. However, I can not say the same for the staff. If you visit this place, you have to be sure that you should order twice or more. I order a coffee and a cake twice. They brought my cake after two times and my coffee after three times. The staff always passes each other. I said also 2 times to pay. This place should develeop their customer relationship. I am not sure about going here again.

Great location and the food was very good. One of the best waffles I've ever had and the cappuccino was excellent as well.

I bought two pastries and sat down at one of their many empty tables just outside of the restaurant, and was rudely asked to leave by one of the servers because my pastries were "to-go" only, and to sit down is more expensive.

What a ridiculous practice. If that is your policy, it should be made clearly obvious when purchasing food. Instead, I was not informed at all. I would never come back to a place like this.
