    If you do not get used to the German schedule and you need a good breakfast before starting the tourist route, this cafeteria is perfect! You will have a perfect free buffet of high quality. The place is nice and the atmosphere pleasant. The service is very attentive and adequate.

    Enttäuschende Erfahrung im Extrablatt. Leider war unser Besuch im Extrablatt alles andere als zufriedenstellend. Schon bei der Bestellung fiel uns auf, dass die Kellnerin unsympathisch wirkte, was sich im Verlauf des Abends weiter bestätigte. Als wir die Pizzen erhielten, stellten wir fest, dass der Teig noch nicht vollständig gebacken war. Als wir dies monierten, reagierte die Kellnerin eher gleichgültig und nahm die Teller mit einem unscheinbaren Lächeln mit. Überraschenderweise kamen die Teller zurück, ohne dass eine erkennbare Verbesserung stattgefunden hatte. Das Essen selbst ließ ebenfalls zu wünschen übrig. Auf einer Skala von eins bis zehn wäre meine Bewertung leider eine eins. Der Geschmack war enttäuschend, und es ist schade, dass die offensichtlichen Probleme nicht angemessen angegangen wurden. Insgesamt hinterließ der Besuch im Extrablatt einen bitteren Nachgeschmack, und es bleibt zu hoffen, dass das Restaurant in Zukunft mehr Wert auf Qualität und Kundenservice legt.

    Unter der Woche ist das Extrablatt eines der wenigen Restaurants, die Brunch zu einem zivilen Preis mit einem großen Angebot kombinieren. Das Buffet war reichhaltig, die Eierspeisen allerdings bis auf das Rührei konsequent kalt, schade. Auswahl und Menge sind für €12,95 aber trotzdem voll okay. Schwieriger ist die Sache mit dem Service, nach subjektivem Eindruck sind es einfach zu wenig Leute die zu viel hin und her rennen müssen. So wurden Getränke bis zur Rechnung schlicht vergessen und Teller über die gesamte Zeit nicht abgeräumt - wie gesagt nicht aus böser Absicht, sondern einfach weil der Laden voll war und die Bedienungen nicht wussten, wohin zuerst.

    (Translated by Google) Were greeted very unfriendly and left at the entrance. Then we went to the table on our own, where we had to wait 10 minutes for a waitress to agree to take an order. Ordered 2 milk coffees and 1 blueberry muffin. Coffee was prepared quickly, but only brought to the table 30 minutes later - lukewarm broth with remnants of foam, and very bitter, even after adding 2 bags of sugar. We were allowed to wait 50 minutes for the muffin, until we pointed it out to the unmotivated waiter and he replied without apologizing that it had been in the serving area for a long time, but nobody wanted to bring it. He took pity on bringing him to our table in the next 5 minutes, but all that was left was soggy mud, we left over half of it. The tables were not disinfected and cleaned, we found them very sticky. When the neighboring table was cleared, the waitress dropped a glass, but did not clear up the chaos, but left it until a slightly less incompetent colleague took pity on it. There was no tip for this service, but we received critical looks. When leaving we wanted to use the toilet, which was like a train station toilet, especially since the latter would at least have toilet paper. Are used to much better things from the colleagues from Heidelberg. (Original) Wurden bereits sehr unfreundlich begrüsst und am Eingang stehen gelassen. Gingen dann eigenständig zum Tisch, wo wir 10 Minuten warten mussten, bis sich eine Bedienung bereit erklärte eine Bestellung entgegenzunehmen. Bestellten 2 Milchkaffee und 1 Blaubeermuffin. Kaffee wurde schnell zubereitet, aber erst 30 min später zum Tisch gebracht - lauwarme Plörre mit Resten von Schaum, noch dazu sehr bitter, auch nach Zugabe von 2 Tüten Zucker. Auf den Muffin durften wir 50 min warten, bis wir den unmotivierten Kellner darauf hinwiesen und er ohne sich zu entschuldigen erwiderte, dass dieser schon sehr lange in der Ausgabe stünde, aber ihn niemand bringen wollte. Er erbarmte sich dazu, ihn in den nächsten 5 min an unseren Tisch zu bringen, doch übrig war nur noch durchgeweichte Matsche, wir liessen über die Hälfte stehn. Die Tische wurden nicht desinfiziert und gereinigt, wir fanden sie sehr klebrig auf. Als der Nachbartisch abgeräumt wurde, liess die Bedienung ein Glas fallen, beseitigte das Chaos jedoch nicht, sondern liess es liegen, bis sich ein etwas weniger inkompetenter Kollege erbarmte. Trinkgeld gabs für diese Leistung nicht,dafür kassierten wir kritische Blicke. Beim Verlassen wollten wir die Toilette nutzen, die einer Bahnhof toilette glich, zumal es bei letzterer wohl wenigstens klopapier gäbe. Sind von den Kollegen aus Heidelberg deutlich besseres gewohnt.

    Disappointing We arrived at 12pm at the cafe for the all you can eat buffet which normally lasts until 1pm. So in theory we had 1 hour to eat and enjoy the food. However all the plates were almost empty. There was no more salmon, no more yoghurt, no more eggs and no more napkins. And the food that was left was cold. The staff was very unhelpful, when we asked if there would be more salmon and eggs they said yes but of course, the new dishes never came. It was very disappointing that for 15 euros we didn't get nearly enough to eat. If the buffet stops being refurbished at 12pm than please, don't say that the buffet is open until 1pm. No one wants to pay 15 euros for bread and ham.

    Ordered Schnitzel Caprese and Schnitzel with mushroom sauce. They were smaller size so had to order a pizza. Quick service but not so good attention to customer service. Location is awesome and in a sunny Sunday it's really best place for dining

    (Translated by Google) I was there and took the breakfast buffet. For about 10 € without coffee I had a huge selection of food. From yoghurt with dried fruits or American breakfast to pancakes and fruits ... in short everything you want. I almost felt like I was on vacation. (Original) Ich war dort und habe das Frühstück Buffet genommen. Für vmca 10€ ohne Kaffee habe ich riesige Auswahl an Essen gehabt. Von Joghurt mit Trockenfrüchte oder amerikanisches breakfast bis zu Pancakes und Früchte....kurz gesagt alles was man will. Hab mich fast wie im Urlaub gefühlt.

    (Translated by Google) We sat at the table and waited a long time until our order was taken. After about 20 minutes there was no sign of our food or our drinking. When we asked, they didn't know what to do, 10 minutes later they found out that our drink had been brought to the bottle table and brought it over to us (during Corona times, mind you). During our stay, waiters kept coming to our table (10 times) with food and drinks that we didn't order. We actually wanted to order a dessert and drink something, we also said yes and were priced off with a "You have to do that with your colleague". Said colleague, however, did not show up, but we could watch how all the waiters gathered at the bar & drank a short. Due to the obvious lack of service we decided to pay & leave. Of course, quite a bit of time passed before the bill came. Since we all only paid appropriately & didn't tip, the waiter had problems with the change, just gave my girlfriend 20ct less (which she only noticed a little later) and 70ct too much for me (which of course I am not complaining about). In summary- the service is terrible. The passable food doesn't make up for it at all. Never come back here. (Original) Wir saßen am Tisch und haben super lange gewartet, bis unsere Bestellung aufgenommen wurde. Nach ca. 20 Minuten kam unser Essen- von unserem Trinken keine Spur. Als wir nachfragten, wusste man nicht weiter, 10 Minuten später fand man heraus, dass unser Trinken an den flaschen Tisch gebracht wurde und hat es uns rüber gebracht (zu Corona-Zeiten, wohlgemerkt). Während unseres Aufenthalts kamen dauernd Kellner (bestimmt 10 Mal) an unseren Tisch mit Essen und Trinken, welches wir nicht bestellt haben. Eigemtlich wollten wir noch einen Nachtisch bestellen und etwss trinken, haben auch bescheid gesagt und wurden mit einem "Das müsst ihr bei der Kollegin machen" abgespreist. Besagte Kollegin ließ sich jedoch nicht blicken, dafür konnten wir beobachten, wie sich alle Kellner am Tresen versammelten & einen Kurzen tranken. Durch den offensichtlichen Mangel an Bedienung haben wir uns dann doch entschieden zu zahlen & zu gehen. Bis die Rechnung kam, verstrich natürlich auch wieder einiges an Zeit. Da wir alle nur passend bezahlten & kein Trinkgeld gaben, hatte der Kellner Probleme mit dem Kleingeld, gab mejner Freundin einfach 20ct weniger (was sie erst etwas später bemerkte) und mir 70ct zu viel (worüber ich mich natürlich nicht beklage). Zusammengefasst- Der Service ist grottenschlecht. Das passable Essen macht das absolut nicht wieder gut. Nie wieder hier her.

    The best croissants! Everything is super flavorful and prepared fresh. They have fresh-squeezed orange juice and even the eggs seemed extra tasty. We didn’t get the buffet but there’s a good selection for just over 10Euro. My new favorite spot for breakfast. (Plus the waiters spoke English)

    Wir haben zu zweit nach einem Stadtbummel und Weihnachtsmarktbesuch ein Café gesucht, wo wir im Sitzen einen Kaffee trinken konnten und sind ins Café Extrablatt gegangen. Wir haben Kaffee und Kuchen bestellt. Alles war ok und das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis war angemessen. Aber auch nur ok, etwas besonderes war es nicht. Service wirkte gehetzt, obwohl das Lokal nur mäßig besucht war.

    Near the city center and the old city. The atmosphere and decoration of the restaurant is really impressive. The food (I ate breakfast there) was good and for a reasonable price. The coffee is not included with the buffet and must be ordered separately.

    This place gives Newyork vibes, can’t really explain it! The breakfast is simple but each bite was exceptional; the day I came they only had a buffet (which I didn’t know about) but the server did her best to accommodate! Wonderful service, good food, amazing location

    Der Besuch war es Wert. Wir haben nach einem Cafe mit leckeren Speisen und Charm gesucht und es gefunden! Besonders haben uns die Einrichtung und das leckere Essen gefallen. Die Bedienung war freundlich und schnell. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und haben uns diesen Ort gemerkt. Wenn wir wieder in Köln sind werden wir das Extrablatt wieder besuchen. Die Atmosphäre hat uns sehr gefallen. Ein tolles Konzept!

    Waiter was rude and impatient, first because we didn’t realise the ‘newspaper’ on the table was actually the menu, and then because he had to explain it to us. Maybe not tourist-friendly, or just having a bad day as other tables were also getting similar treatment!

  • 4/5 Michael L. 4 years ago on Google
    I liked it there. The food was plenty and tasty but also quite pricey. The service was very nice but they were understaffed and it took quite a long time until anyone came over to take the order. After our drinks were empty, we had to wait for a long time again until anyone stopped by to see what else we could order. Overall it was a nice evening out: tasty and the staff was really nice, but definitely understaffed.

    Erst wird uns ein Platz zugewiesen, dann wird unsere Bestellung etwa 10 Minuten später erst aufgenommen. 5 Minuten zu spät um etwas zu essen zu bestellen. 3 Bier bestellt, es werden 2 gebracht. Das Personal ist unglaublich langsam und wirkt sehr inkompetent. Frauen werden, von dem an diesem Abend zu 100% männlich besetzten Personal, auffällig bevorzugt behandelt. Mit meiner Freundin würde ich mich in diesem Lokal sehr unwohl fühlen.

    (Translated by Google) Distance rules were not observed during my visit today. There was a breakfast buffet. The people stood close to each other in line. Partly with a mask under the nose. I did not have to leave any data that would have made it possible to notify me of a possible Corona case of a guest. I understand that restaurateurs are currently under a lot of pressure. But that shouldn't be at the expense of health. (Original) Abstandsregeln wurden bei meinem heutigen Besuch nicht eingehalten. Es gab ein Frühstücksbuffet. Die Menschen standen dicht an dicht in der Schlange davor. Teilweise mit Maske unter der Nase.

Ich verstehe dass Gastronomen momentan einem ziemlichen Druck ausgesetzt sind. Aber das sollte nicht zu Lasten der Gesundheit gehen.

    (Translated by Google) The waiter was very friendly. Ice cream parlors and cappuccinos were served at a longer interval. The cappuccino was spilled neatly so that the small biscuit rolls included were already damp. (I would have preferred a packaged biscuit, especially because of Corona) I didn't eat this biscuit. There was little cafe in the ice cream parlor, but ice cream and a lot of cream. Unfortunately the tables were not clean. Stains everywhere. For this reason there were a lot of wasps there, which is why a relaxed stay was not possible. Not all appetizing. I'm not going back there. (Original) Der Kellner war sehr freundlich. Eiscafe und Cappuccino wurden mit größerem zeitlichem Abstand serviert. Der Cappuccino war ordentlich übergeschwappt, so dass das kl., beigelegte Keksröllchen schon feucht war. ( ein verpackter Keks wäre mir, erst recht wegen Corona, lieber gewesen) Diesen Keks habe ich nicht gegessen. Im Eiscafe war wenig Cafe, dafür Eis und sehr, sehr viel Sahne. Leider waren die Tische nicht sauber. Überall Flecken. Aus diesem Grund waren dort sehr viele Wespen , weswegen ein entspannter Aufenthalt nicht möglich war. Alles nicht appetitlich. Ich gehe dort nicht wieder hin.

    (Translated by Google) Very rude waiters and poor service. You wait far too long and when you ask you are yelled at. I waited half an hour just to pay. Although I was the first to ask, others who came after me paid more than I did. I had the feeling that I was made to wait extra. The waiters start arguing straight away. I was asked what my problem was and was told that I shouldn't go into the store next time and that I should eat somewhere else. I have had very bad experiences there and cannot recommend it to anyone! (Original) Sehr unfreundliche Kellner und schlechter Service. Man wartet viel zu lange und wenn man nachfragt wird man direkt angeschnauzt. Allein fürs Bezahlen habe ich eine halbe Stunde gewartet. Obwohl ich die erste war die nachgefragt hat, haben andere die nach mir gekommen sind eher bezahlt als ich. Ich hatte das Gefühl, dass man mich extra warten lassen hat. Die Kellner fangen direkt an zu diskutieren. Ich wurde gefragt was mein Problem sei und habe gesagt bekommen, dass ich den Laden beim nächsten mal nicht betreten soll und wo anders essen gehen soll. Ich habe sehr schlechte Erfahrungen dort gemacht und kann es niemanden weiter Empfehlen!

    (Translated by Google) Great food, no question about great location. We were there on 10/10/20. Staff great. I subtract the points, because I think that there were definitely too many guests at these times. Yes, there is a bit of plexiglass hanging but no way to ventilate properly. Very warm and stuffy in the upper area. As I said, great location, great food and the prices are ok. (Original) Essen toll keine Frage super Location. Wir waren am 10.10.20 dort. Personal super. Die Punkte ziehe ich ab, da ich der Meinung bin das es in diesen Zeiten definitiv zu viele Gäste waren . Ja da hängt ein bisschen Plexiglas aber keine Möglichkeit zum richtig durch lüften. Im oberen Bereich sehr warm und stickig. Wie gesagt mega Location, super Essen und die Preise sind ok.

    (Translated by Google) The selection at the buffet is really large and we all enjoyed the food, but it is relatively expensive and a hot drink is also exclusive. (Original) Die Auswahl beim Buffet ist wirklich groß und das Essen hat uns auch allen sehr gut geschmeckt, es ist jedoch relativ teuer und ein Heißgetränk ist ebenfalls exklusive.

    (Translated by Google) Nice location and that was it. After waiting 30 minutes, no one was able to serve us at the table. We had to report ourselves to the counter so that we could even get something to drink. From the waiter no trace of apology or anything else. My tip, look for another location right away. (Original) Schöne Location und das war es auch. Nach 30 Minuten warten, hat es niemand geschafft uns am Tisch zu bedienen. Wir mussten uns selber an der Theke melden, damit wir überhaupt mal was zu trinken bekommen. Vom Kellner keine Spur von Entschuldigung oder sonstiges. Mein Tipp, sucht euch gleich eine andere Location.

    (Translated by Google) We were there with friends today and everything was good in the beginning. Food was delicious, our first waiter was very friendly and attentive. Later a waitress switched to our table who wasn't really attentive. And when asked whether the light actually had to be dimmed that way, the answer was not exactly friendly that it would always be like that and would get even darker. I have to say that we all didn't think that was that good. We had people with a visual impairment with us, for whom this dim light was borderline because they could not see well ... Perhaps one could think about this very extremely dimmed light. You don't have to leave it mega bright, but maybe so that people with night blindness etc. have the chance to recognize something. (Original) Wir waren heute mit Freunden dort und zu Anfang war auch alles gut. Essen war sehr lecker, unser erster Kellner sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Später wechselte eine Kellnerin an unseren Tisch, die nicht wirklich aufmerksam war. Und auf Nachfrage, ob man das Licht tatsächlich so dimmen müsste kam nicht gerade freundlich zur Antwort, dass wäre immer so und würde noch dunkler werden. Dazu muss ich sagen, dass fanden wir alle nicht so gut. Wir hatten Menschen mit einer Sehbehinderung dabei, für die dieses gedämmte Licht grenzwertig war, weil sie nicht gut sehen konnten... Vielleicht könnte man über dieses sehr extrem gedämmtes Licht einmal nachdenken. Man muss es nicht mega hell lassen, aber eventuell so, dass Menschen mit Nachtblindheit u.ä. die Chance haben etwas zu erkennen.

    (Translated by Google) Above all, you pay the name at Café Extrablatt, I think everyone is aware of that. because unfortunately the prices keep rising or the portions get smaller. That's a shame because the coffee and the cake there just taste very good. the service was very friendly and we were served quickly even without a reservation in the afternoon. The extra request to receive a small piece of paper to write something down was received quickly and easily. That definitely speaks for the service. (Original) Vor allem bezahlt man beim Café Extrablatt den Namen ich denke das ist allen bewusst. denn leider steigen die Preise gefühlt immer weiter an oder die Portionen werden kleiner. Das ist ziemlich schade denn der Kaffee und auch der Kuchen dort schmecken einfach sehr gut. die Bedienung war sehr freundlich und wir wurden schnell bedient auch ohne Reservierung am Nachmittag. Auf dem Extrawunsch einen kleinen Zettel zu bekommen um etwas zu notieren wurde schnell und unkompliziert eingegangen. Das spricht definitiv für den Service.

    (Translated by Google) Was extremely full on the Sunday nobody knew "respectability" where we were there for breakfast, especially since there was no answer to the reservation request by email and it was also said on the phone that everything was full. It turned out that the entire "terrace" was free and there was free choice of seats (outside). All in all what the buffet but with the lavish selection was great, but much too narrow so that you could not keep the distance! Tip: just offer one or two fewer seats / seating groups and pull the buffet apart and don't rule that out because of Corona !!! (Original) War extrem voll an dem Sonntag kannte keiner "Anstand halten" wo wir zum Frühstücken da waren, zumal auf die Reservierungsanfrage per Mail gar keine Antwort kam und auch am Telefon wurde gesagt es sei alles voll. Es stellte sich heraus das die komplette "Terrasse" frei war und es freie Platzwahl gab (draußen). Alles in allem was das Buffet aber mit der üppigen Auswahl Top, aber viel zu eng aufgebaut so das man den Abstand nicht wahren konnte!!! Tipp: einfach ein bis zwei Sitzplätze/Sitzgruppen weniger anbieten und das Buffet auseinander zerren und das nicht ausschließen wegen Corona!!!

  • 4/5 Mykhailo S. 2 years ago on Google
    A great breakfast for a rerasonable price! It's all you can eat, but usually they don't tell you that, you can't have your own breakfast, but don't go enywhere else, even though there is not that much space inside, so it is very crowded if you want to take another plate. Drinks are extra, but the orange juice is included. I would definitely recommend this place.

  • 4/5 jan g. 4 years ago on Google
    Very big Extrablatt. The only handicap is that the toilets are on -1 ! Always fighting for places. Very good choice for coctails with happy hour between 19 to 20pm. Also good food , big portions. Minus one point for the soup. That was mixed raw tomato, not soup. Anyhow , place 2B for all ages.

    Unfortunately, we couldn't have a light breakfast, only a very expensive breakfast buffet was offered, which we turned down, just drinking a coffee.

  • 3/5 Luis P. 1 year ago on Google
    We came for the breakfast buffet. Variety is okay in a really nice location. However it seemed like the stuff told us a higher price to get higher tip though...

  • 1/5 Justin 1 year ago on Google
    Very disappointed with the senior staff. We asked for a certain drink price and were told they are closing for the day (30 min before closing time). Sadly we will need to skip this place going forward.

  • 1/5 Kyle R. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff works in a touristy area at the most touristy restaurant, but are rude as heck if your are not German even if you try to use their language. Food was also not that great, been to the restaurant in Nüess much kinder better food.

    Moscow mule I had was just ginger beer with unnoticeable vodka and lime, served in a Lynchburg lemonade glass? The food was average.

    At the beginning I received order that was not identical to the one on the menu but accepted it as waiter explained that they were missing that sauce. But then I saw mouse that was running around the floor eating leftovers from previous visitors. I went downstairs and explained the situation, but they acted funny, no one apologized or tried to solve the situation but told me to move my stuff downstairs if I want. No one helped me to get my stuff nor offered anything because of what happened. Tasty food, but rude management and customer service, and not a clean place to eat.

  • 1/5 Sara I. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is good and the location is great because it’s right in the center but the service is horrible. We went there during the carnival on 2 different days because of its location. The first day the waiter was really yelling at us and hurrying us up while ordering and paying. The next day, there was a security at the door who asked me in a very rude way what do I need inside, I didn’t answer, then he grabbed one of my friends aggressively by the arm and asked if we will eat or drink.

    Worst service I've encountered in a long while. The waiter didn't bother to come a second time to our table. The pizza was clearly frozen and badly cooked. It was still cold in the middle and soggy. I can't recommend this place to anyone.

  • 4/5 Steve W. 10 months ago on Google
    Nice food and drinks, service was fine unlike other reviews. Probably helped that it was a beautiful sunny day and everyone was relaxed and enjoying the weather! I found the menus quite confusing, there seemed to be about 3 of them and it can be quite confusing for tourists who can't read German - but was able to use Google Translate through the phone camera

    Loved the place, had a first date here and really enjoyed both atmosphere and food. Was surprised it wasn't rated that well, we had a great time here. :)

    Very rude waiter and waitresses. They did not serve one of my family memebers and never appologized for that! Don’t waist your time and money in there. Not recommended at all. No customer service available in Germany specially in here. Worst experience in Cologne.
