    Update: Owners try to tune their review scores by sending a lawyer after all reviews that score too low. Very poor business practice and ethics! One of those places catering more to instagrammers rather than foodies. The food is lacking quality and skills, and the coffee is poor. Enter Caprista, the Amalfi Coast-themed café that serves up a mixture of dishes with Italian and Turkish (why!?) touches. The concept and idea is refreshing and colorful, and certainly bigger investments were made in design, tableware, wash rooms and social media. But one would have preferred seeing those funds flow into actual culinary craftsmanship and palate-pleasing efforts: the coffee is a no-go both in terms of quality and barista skills. The Golden Milk lacks finesse and is one-dimensional. The sauce hollandaise is a prefabricated convenience product and one is searching for the spinach in the Italian egg scramble. On the up side, the croissant is an actual Italian brioche and presented nicely. Sadly here too, the pistachio and dulce de leche sauces are from the lower quality end of the convenience shelf. It’s early days, so hope is there that this pretty café will be elevated to a brunch experience that lives up to its design. But for now, this place is nicer to your camera than your stomach. And the prices are just too high for that.

    The atmosphere was great and the staffs were friendly. However, the food and drinks were just ordinary in our opinion. We had the berry and the green smoothies. They were okay but not as flavorful or refreshing as expected. The egg benedict one with beef bacon and one with truffle. We both agreed the beef one had more flavor than the truffle one. The truffle was nice but the flavor was quite plain. Two smoothies and two egg Benedict costed almost 50€. I was there on June 18 and shared my dining experience with this review. On July 19th, I received an email from Google. That email asked me to provide proof such as payment record because they received a compliment saying that I was never a customer and my review violated their right. I have to send the credit card record to Google. Otherwise Google will remove my review. Maybe instead of sending a complaint with reference to law, use the time and money on improving the food and drinks. Or just simply respect that everyone has different taste when it comes to food.

    Best Brunch spot in Cologne. The pancakes were the best I've ever had, super good service for such a busy spot. Beautiful interior and food quality is outstanding, would highly recommend visiting.

    Food is subpar… and quality seems lacking. For example the eggs used are on the cheaper end, you can tell by the taste and the color of the yolks. The bread used for the toast was just a plain cut bread no toasting, not a bit of butter, nothing. Flat white that I ordered was more of a capuchino. On terms of design and atmosphere, the vibe is giving Pinterest mood board. I found it a bit distasteful, but it’s just personal preference. The staff was nice and accommodating, but again if the food is lacking then it’s hard to leave a good review.

    As a group of 10 persons, it was not easy to find a last minute brunch spot. But the people at Café Caprista gave us the best seat in the house. They brought out extra chairs to seat all of us on their terrace. I’m not sure if it was because of all the mimosa’s, but the staff was really friendly and food was great. I had eggs (bio) with salmon and dille, finished with a side of mashed avocado. The waiters were quick to serve us and they even gave us Limoncello shots on the house. Highly recommend to brunch here!

    The food is really nice. Eggs Benedict and the pancakes were really good. The place be really crowded in the mornings so if you plan to visit it, be aware of the potential to wait for a table.

    Hip breakfast place, which attracts a large young lively crowd. No reservations possible on weekends, but I was given a table within 5 minutes waiting time. Staff was very friendly. The food is what you will typically find at hip breakfast places these days (poached eggs, avocado, pancakes, porridge etc.). It was good, but yet not special and still a little overpriced for what you get. Also maybe it's better go on a week day, as it was very packed and noisy and you may sit very close to others as they squeeze a lot of tables in.

    The service was there a 10/10. Everyone very friendly and nice. The food was rather 6.5/10. The tomato sauce of the menemen was watery and not smooth and creamy but the ice coffee was well done.

    It looks very good inside! But that's where it ends, unfortunately. The avocado bread I ordered was salty as hell and it's extremely uncomfortable during the rush hours without the air conditioner. Feels like KVB in the sommer.

    Very cute & pretty cafe which makes u feel like u r in Bella Italia. Great food & service too. We tried the Cornetto pistachio and egg Benedict tartufo , both were mouth wateringly good . Must visit when in cologne . Profi tip : Insta worthy 😍

    I'd rate a place at five if I could just get a normal porridge. But here you get it with fruits, nuts, and it looks beautiful. Recommended for a healthy meal
