    Very loungy, very trendy. Cafe Rico is the place to be in Mittelstraße. The menu starts with specialties for breakfast. Ham and Eggs, Quiche, française, cereals or continental. Lunch menu is soup, Quiche or salad with chicken or vegetarian. At afternoon you can enjoy a huge range of tea or coffee with first class cake, creamy cake and tarte. Cafe Rico is top. Staff is always kind and caring! 🔝🔝🔝

    Amazing breakfast/brunch and service! The staff here cafe Rico really know how to treat all their customers right. You could tell from a mile away we were a group of tourist wandering around for a hearty breakfast. Unfortunately I don’t remember or know how to pronounce the menu items but I ordered 3 things. The scrambled eggs breakfast platter, the German mini pancakes with vanilla and cherries, and the flamkuchen (German flatbread). First off I didn’t know pickles would work so well with some scrambled eggs and buttered toast. The mini pancakes drizzled with the vanilla sauce (more like a custard) were the best pancakes I ever had. Finally the flamkuchen (bacon one) was delicious, super thin and crunchy with some chew as you get to the middle. Our table ordered about 20 items between 6 of us and we devoured everything. We did however agree that the cakes were more sour then we are used to in the states. Silly Americans right?

    Es gibt kein Köln Tour ohne das Café Rico besucht zu haben. Freue mich immer wieder mich dort mit Freunden zu treffen oder auch alleine einen kalten/warmen Drink zu nehmen. Vom Service noch nie enttäuscht gewesen und die Kuchenauswahl ist groß und lecker. Man kann dort auch sehr gut herzhaft essen. Für jeden ist was dabei.

    (Translated by Google) Café Rico is a very special place for us, where we don't stay all the time, but now and then we like to linger. A great breakfast, coffee with cake, a small snack or a delicious Pinot Gris, every now and then. Thanks to the cozy atmosphere, the very friendly staff and a varied audience, every visit is a pleasure. The slightly above average price level does not change that, because the stay is simply worth it. (Original) Das Café Rico ist für uns ein ganz besonderer Ort, an dem wir nicht ständig, aber ab und zu sehr gerne verweilen. Ein grandioses Frühstück, Kaffee mit Kuchen, der kleine Snack oder ein leckerer Grauburgunder, immer mal wieder. Dank der gemütlichen Atmosphäre, dem sehr freundlichen Personal und einem abwechselungsreichen Publikum ist jeder Besuch ein Genuss. Daran ändert auch das etwas über dem Durchschnitt liegende Preisniveau nichts, denn der Aufenthalt ist es einfach wert.

    a few weeks ago … I know this place for ages , but it’s not getting any better … my order would have been nice with a little plate decoration for the eye. …. but this is a no go ! too and for my restaurant knowledge . the young people who don’t know any better might like this . the location is on a great spot in cologne… the service today nice … maybe I try it later this year again … answer from owner : Antwort vom Inhaber (Translated by Google) I would leave it with a possible further visit to this place, which is so bad for you, it will not change your opinion. (Original) such an answer shows no customer friendliness ... probably don't eat there anymore, drinks maybe ... we left 60 euros there that day , probably to little / to bad

    Wir waren am Wochenende hier frühstücken und waren froh, dass wir vorher reserviert hatten, denn das Cafe war vormittags schon gut besucht. Wir haben uns für das Partner-Frühstück (41 Euro für 2 Personen) entschieden und waren sehr zufrieden. Es gab Sekt, Orangensaft, Crossaints, Brötchen, Brot, Aufschnitt, Marmelade, Käse und Rührei. Allerdings war es fast schon zu viel. Um alles aufzuessen, muss man wirklich großen Hunger haben! Die Mitarbeiter sind aufmerksam und freundlich. Das Ambiente war toll, wir haben uns hier wirklich wohl gefühlt. Eins ist sicher: Wir kommen gerne wieder!

    Great spot for breakfast or lunch. We both had the vegetarian scrambled eggs - simply amazing. The herbs and potatoes were exactly what was needed to make these scrambled eggs something we will not forget. Definitely put it on your list for a tasty and good value treat. Also, pickles. Hey literally sold me when I saw those hanging out on my plate.

    It is a very nice place to sit and have a brunch. Came here to have a drink and talk in a cozy place. Lot of confy cushion on the benches. Had to try the "Home made basil and citroen limonade", and it turned out to be super tasty. Waitress was really friendly and fun. Will have to come back and try the food on my next visit in Cologne

    Delicious food, excellent ambience and wonderful wait staff. We came in the winter and had a lovely brunch sitting alfresco. Prices are affordable and it provides a cosy break from the endless Christmas markets (there is one just around the corner from the restaurant). We had the waffles and kaiserschmarnn (think pancakes/bread pudding) and were absolutely delighted. 10/10 would return and recommend!

    A very nice place, in a quite cozy quarter, and the waiters were really kind and tourist friendly. The coffee and the cake we tried were very tasty. We don't rate 5 stars because of the price, which could be a bit lower.

    (Translated by Google) Very nice coffee good selection of cakes friendly and attentive staff but not pushy. Clean and modern toilet facilities. Outside, unfortunately, you are often begged. But it can sit and bite very well there. The coffee was a bit too bland for me, but that's my personal assessment. (Original) Seher schönes Kaffe gute Kuchenauswahl freundliches und aufmerksames Personal aber nicht aufdringlich. Saubere und moderne Wc Anlagen. Im außen Bereich wird man leider sehr oft angebettelt. Aber dafür kann dort sehr gut sitzen und gebissen. Für mich war der Kaffe etwas zu fade, aber das ist meine persönliche Einschätzung.

    In unserer Kölner Zeit war das Rico unser Lieblingscafé und wir sind gern wieder hin, wenn wir in Köln waren. In letzter Zeit durfte man fürs Wochenende nicht mehr reservieren, also haben wir heute einfach vorbei geschaut und die freien Tische waren reserviert. Kein Problem, wir haben nach Absprache mit dem Kellner am Stehtisch im Durchzug auf einen freien Platz gewartet. Nach 20 Minuten wurde etwas frei, was aber von einer Kellnerin zwei gerade reingekommenen Laufkunden sofort vergeben wurde. Als wir sie freundlich darauf aufmerksam gemacht haben, meinte sie, sie hätte uns nicht gewusst, dass wir auf einen Tisch warteten, und ging einfach. Keine Entschuldigung. Dann sind wir halt auch gegangen. Wirklich schade, dass man inzwischen so behandelt wird. Nach 15 Jahren werden wir wohl so schnell nicht mehr hingehen.

    (Translated by Google) Delicious, good portions, friendly service. But: high-priced, often full and therefore very noisy, then bad air (Original) Lecker, gute Portionen, freundliche Bedienung. Aber: Hochpreisig, oft voll und dadurch sehr laut, dann auch schlechte Luft

    (Translated by Google) One of my favourites. Friendly staff, a very mixed clientele and a relaxed atmosphere. Whether coffee, something alcoholic, cake (often one of them is even gluten-free), soup or cheese - it has always been delicious. (Original) Einer meiner Favoriten. Freundliches Personal, sehr gemischte Kundschaft und eine lockere Atmosphäre. Ob Kaffee, etwas Alkoholisches, Kuchen (oft ist einer davon sogar glutenfrei), Suppe oder Käse - es war bisher immer lecker.

    Always great, always delicious! Best for brunch and a big plus is that it's open on Sundays even when most places are closed. Lots of breakfast options!

    Ich war heute zum Frühstück im Rico verabredet und vom Ambiete/Interieur sowohl im Innen als auch Außenbereich angetan. Der Service war Top!!! Die beiden Damen waren sehr aufmerksam und hatten eine tolle, offene und freundliche Art. Könnte ich für dem Service mehr als 5 Stern geben, würde ich es tun!..period! Der Cappuccino (ohne Sirup) war geschmacklich super, aber in der zweiten Runde, haben sie es mit dem Sirup ein bisschen zuu gut gemeint. Er war leider (für unseren Geschmack) ungenießbar. Auch mein Matcha latte mit Mandelmilch, war übertrieben süß...als wäre Marzipan darin aufgelöst worden. Zum Essen gab es für uns Rührei mit Kartoffeln und Schinken (Bauer) und das Rührei mit Brot/Brötchen und Orangensaft. Leider hat mir dieses (Bauer) überhaupt nicht geschmeckt. Es war sehr fettig und hatte auch den Geschmack von altem Fett. Rundum wurde es einfach nicht lecker zubereitet. Das andere Frühstück kam sehr gut an! Preise sind absolut gut! Knapp 23€ für ein Frühstück+ zwei Getränke... Wir komme definitiv wieder und probieren was neues von der Karte. Vielleicht trifft es meinen/unseren Geschmack eher. 👍🏼

    Place to be for a great breakfast/brunch! Food is all 5 star...really the best! However, they have locals that keep staring at you while you’re eating like its their place and takes a little out of your apetite...especially on Sundays.

    Extrem unhöfliche und genervt wirkende (weibliche) Bedienung. Haben nach einem Tisch gefragt und uns informiert, ob es ein Frühstücksbuffet gibt. Dies wurde patzig verneint und man solle sich doch selber einen freien Tisch suchen. Haben die Lokalität sofort verlassen. Nie wieder.

    (Translated by Google) I always like to go to the Rico - whether the visit is pleasant and you feel welcome depends heavily on the staff. Hence pure luck. (Original) An sich gehe ich immer sehr gerne ins Rico- ob der Besuch angenehm ist und man sich willkommen fühlt, hängt hier allerdings stark vom Personal ab. Daher reine Glückssache.

  • 1/5 Low C. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I think the prices are very excessive! 4.20 euros for a piece of cake ??? Without a drink! You don't get a cookie or something like that with coffee. My impression the quality has deteriorated! Is getting more and more expensive! Please reconsider the prices! It's no fun like that! (Original) Ich finde die Preise sehr übertrieben! 4,20 Euro für ein Stück Kuchen??? Ohne ein Getränk! Zum Kaffee bekommt man kein Keks oder ähnliches. Mein Eindruck die Qualität hat nachgelassen! Wird immer teuerer! Bitte überdenken sie die Preise! So macht es keinen Spaß !
