The service was terrible. We have taken our dog 🐕 to every restaurant we have gone to. There have not been very many places that he is not allowed into. The other places have been so nice about it. This place allowed him but was extremely rude about him being there. There were other customers that had to find staff just to get menus to see what they wanted. I certainly do not recommend this place.

Nice light breakfast at Bastian's yesterday. Got the triple egg on bread with gouda bacon and fried onion and an XXL slice of cheesecake topped with, what I assume are, cranberries all washed down with a very large Americano.

When in Cologne we always have breakfast here. Its always loaded with people. Great breakfast at really good price. I love the stuff too.

(Translated by Google) Very nice staff. I am always at peace. Above all, a man with a tattooed arm and a black beard struck me as particularly competent and friendly. The food is prepared in a diverse and healthy, hygienic, conscious and tasty way. The bread that was left over from my menu was given to me again and again with every visit, which I found particularly great! I assume that the shift supervisor is a nice blonde lady who competently carries out her work with will energy. GREAT MANAGEMENT! GREAT TEAM! (Original) Sehr nettes Personal. Bin stets zu Frieden. Vor allen ein Herr mit einem Tattovierten Arm der einen schwarzen Bart trug ist mir besonders Kompetent und freundlich aufgefallen. Das Essen wird vielfältig und gesund hygienisch, bewusst , lecker vorbereitet. Das Brot was von meinem Menü übrig blieb, wurde mir immerwieder bei jedem Besuch mitgegeben das fand ich besonders toll! Ich gehe mal davon aus dass, das die Schichtleiterin ist, eine Blonde nette liebe Dame die ihre Tätigkeiten bewusst mit willensenergie Kompetent ausübt. TOLLE LEITUNG! TOLLES TEAM!

Being originally from Germany, it’s hard to impress me when it comes to bakeries/ cafes. The quality of the food is outstanding. The King Karl bread was my favourite. The cakes are delicious as well. Another plus is the outside backyard patio which was very quiet. Super friendly staff and fast service. Highly recommend for breakfast or afternoon tea/ coffee.

Had the scrambled eggs with bacon strips. The serving portion was much larger than I expected. Eggs were decent, slightly over cooked to how I like them but all the breads served were really nice

(Translated by Google) Very tasty, great staff and a great atmosphere! (Original) Sehr lecker, super Personal und eine tolle Atmosphäre!

Excellent breakfast big place Nice to sit outside Or inside and watch the pastries being made behind a huge glass window. Highly recommended

They say this serves the best breakfast in Koln... but having eaten here many times I reckon it serves the best breakfast fare anywhere. I adore this place. I had the de luxe selection (a massive fresh break basket served with cold meats, salamis, cheeses, hard boiled egg, with honey and apricot jam) while my partner had the strammer max (three friend eggs served with bacon and cheese). Both were 5 star... served with delicious coffee.

We ordered the breakfast for two people. The portions are more than enough for two, and for the price it is good deal. It comes with a basket of many kinds of bread. We gave four stars because the croissant could be better, and we love croissants, but anyway we enjoyed it, and I widely recommend it. The coffee was ordered separetely. The waiter was very friendly, and the service fast.

Lovely bakery and breakfast spot with reasonable prices.....E30 for two with drinks .... And you'll need to take some of the bread home as they are very generous.....

We went for brunch and it was very good. Totally recommend the omelette and the coffee. The waitress was very friendly and the service was good.

Stopped in for a nice brunch/lunch! We got the tarte of the day, the focaccia, a bread basket with some cream cheese and butter, plus some coffees and such. The food was really good! My favorite was definitely the tarte. The crust at the end was super delicious. No complaints about the filling either: a simple mozzarella and tomato 👍🏻. The focaccia was a little confusing to me, as it was just a toasted sandwich thing topped with eggplant. I thought it would be more like the typical focaccia, but I'm probably not aware of this type. Bread is really nice there as well, and since we went right before a holiday for which they were closed for, they gave us a baguette :) that was super sweet. The only complaint I have is the bathroom was a little dirty and the eggplant was a little salty. I enjoyed everything else about Bastian's.

Prepared with care: very tasty. Friendly and thoughtful staff. Variety of options and on request possible to make alterations. The walnut bread was exquisite!

Perfect place for breakfast. Reasonably priced (€25 total for two people) and large portions, so you’ll be able to skip lunch. Highly recommend the coffee drinks and Bastian’s Deluxe.

This place is wonderful, my husband and I ate here 3 times during our short stay in Köln! Everything is house made, from the coffees to the bread. We really liked the breakfast for 2, which came with a variety of bread. My favorite was the sesame seed bread. We also picked up some cake to bring home for dinner tonight. Very classic German cakes and they look so SO good! We will definitely come back whenever we come back to the city.

Nice breakfast menu, served all day. Super quality for a reasonable price. Waiters are very friendly.

Nice variety of breakfast combos. Friendly staff. Clean and spacious

5 star breakfast, 5 star staff. Super welcoming as always:)

It will be a good place on Sunday. Nice Brunch in Cologne!

I must say the coffee is not as good as one would expect from a place with such high ratings. BUT (there’s always a but) their käsekuchen was delicious. Every bite was happiness to me and would gladly come again another time for one or to try their breakfast. One more thing: the fact that you have to go to the counter to order your cake and then wait for the server to come grab your “cake ticket” and bring it over to the table is quite inefficient.

Great breakfast options and lovely staff. Can highly recommend the deluxe breakfast for 2. The garden in the back was beautiful on a sunny day. The inside atmosphere was a bit crowded and chaotic.

Great place for breakfast/lunch. The menu is very large with many nice meals. Also there is great service. Would recommend the tomato soup in a bread bowl, would not recommend the ‘sweet goat cheese’ since it is a plate with only goat cheese and no bread. They could improve in offering some vegan options. But overall a very nice place!

Amazing food! I just loved everything. The service was fast, the space is big enough and the waiters can you give you enough attention. I will definitely come back.

Great and promptly service. Order the brunch for 2x! Loads of food, great that on the bread basket comes a paper bag so you can take the left over bread away. Heard about the famous huge cheese cake, ordered one and it wasn’t as expected. The dough wasn’t crunchy and no flavor. The cream filling was ok, nothing special! But maybe coz I created high expectation !! Overall it’s a nice place to go, had a large coffee and a glass of Prosecco to finish off.

This was one of the best breakfasts I've had in Europe. We kind of stumbled upon it, and we are really glad we did. We were really lucky to get a table on a Sunday morning, so calling ahead is the norm apparently, when we walked in there were reserved signs on a lot of tables. The bakery for a quick to-go breakfast is pretty amazing as well...we grabbed a few sweet things for the road. Highly recommend this place for an awesome breakfast in Cologne.

The fluffiest omelette I've had to date! The salad was fresh and crunchy along with the dressing made it a really good combination.

(Translated by Google) Large selection, delicious breads. (Original) Reichhaltige Auswahl, leckere Brote.

A great restaurant for breakfast or brunch in the middle of the city's shopping centre. The atmosphere of Bastian's is amazing. As soon as you walk in you are batched in natural light by the large skylights and all you smell is freshly baked pastries. They are constantly churning them out as people walk in and order them to go. Once you're sat at a table, the menu is quite extensive. You go go as simple as a piece of bread with some butter, to the Bastian Deluxe (my favourite), which is a basket of different freshly baked bread with a plate of assorted cold cuts, cheese, butter, and honey. It all you could want for breakfast and will keep you full for most of the day. You can even pack up the extra bread as they provide a bag for you right up front for you to use. Overall, Bastian's is a nice Sunday getaway and I will definitely be heading there again.

Delicious, cute, and Karina is the nicest waitress in the world)

Great bakery with great staff. We had great breakfasts (a la carte) there every morning, and in the end left Cologne with boxes with pies/cakes for the whole family.

Food was delicious and really nice ambiance; gorgeous skylight and fantastic service. Really nice patio seating at the back as well!

Bakery and cafe doesn't do justice to this hidden gem; artisan bread and the coffee is superb too. get there early, or reserve your table - they have plenty of room, but it fills up fast, as will you, with gorgeous food 💕

(Translated by Google) Good and rich breakfast menu with a very good price-performance ratio. The "normal" gourmet breakfast could be shared (in terms of the number of people) with two people. On top of that, there is the friendly staff and a good central location. We'd love to do it again next time you visit Cologne! (Original) Gutes und reichhaltiges Frühstücksangebot mit sehr gutem Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Das "normale" Gourmet-Frühstück könnte man sich (von der Menge her) schon mit zwei Personen teilen. Das freundliches Personal und eine gute, zentrale Lage gibt's obendrauf. Beim nächsten Köln-Besuch gerne wieder!

Fantastic bakery. Great place for breakfast. Huge place with a view of the bakers. Good service, nice coffee, wonderful fresh bread.

Perfect! We were there on October going back to France. We took the delicious breakfast, the service is really quick and kind. And they are dogs friendly ;) for sure we will comeback.

Extremely tasty and fast :) The size of the cakes is extremely large. BUT, if you think that you will not be able to eat whole piece alone - don’t think so. It’s sooo tasty that you will eat one piece and run for one more 😜 And price of the cakes are a little bit cheaper than in cafes nearby. My personal recommendation - if you are tourist and would like to try something special - try Bienenstich. I’m not sure whether it’s something traditional from Cologne, but I have never seen and tried something like this before :)

This is a large and popular bakery and cafe. It has a great selection of substantial breakfast, brunches and lunches and the cake selection looks incredible. Service is a bit erratic with ordered items being forgotten every time I ate there, but the food is good and the price not too bad, and it’s definitely worth a visit.

Very delicious bread and omelette. Also loved ambiance of the cafe. Best place for breakfast!

Cozy and nice place. Food is really tasty and prices are okay.

We dined here for breakfast on a Saturday and it exceeded all expectations. At 8 a.m. there were plenty of open tables and the food was delicious. We ordered the breakfast for two plus the quiche and it was an overwhelming amount of food. Seriously, we took the remaining bread and cheese home in the bag they conveniently provide and we're chowing on it all day to long. The cheese portions are generous and the bread basket includes croissant, brioche plus an assortment of seedy and hearty buns and slices.

Breakfast place. I had Bastian’s scrambled eggs and freshly juiced orange juice. Afterwards I conclude my stay with americano with milk.

(Translated by Google) Delicious bakery products, clean ambience and fast service. Okay in terms of price. (Original) Leckere Bäckereiprodukte, sauberes Ambiente und schnelle Bedienung. Preislich in Ordnung.

(Translated by Google) Nicely decorated, but sometimes quite noisy at busy times. The cakes are delicious and the selection is more than enough. At the "bread counter" there is a selection of snacks and baked goods to take away. These are very good too. It is not a classic baker and therefore you get a little less selection of rolls and breads than in the branches of the usual chains. As far as I know, sandwiches are not on offer here either. But that's not what this café is designed for. I love going there and can recommend it overall! (Original) Schön eingerichtet, jedoch zu stark frequentierten Zeiten manchmal recht laut. Die Kuchen sind sehr lecker und die Auswahl ist mehr als ausreichend. An der "Brottheke" gibt es eine Auswahl an Snacks und Backwaren zum mitnehmen. Diese sind auch sehr gut. Es handelt sich nicht um einen klassischen Bäcker und daher bekommt man hier auch etwas weniger Auswahl an Brötchen und Broten, als in den Filialen der üblichen Ketten. Auch belegte Brötchen sind hier meines Wissens nicht im Angebot. Dafür ist dieses Café aber auch nicht gedacht. Ich bin sehr gern dort und kann es insgesamt empfehlen!

(Translated by Google) I liked it here very much. We had omelets and Strammen Max, very tasty, including the dressing for the side salad. Delicious coffee and very friendly service. I think it's very good that the bread, which was too much, can be taken away in the enclosed bread bag. Great idea. I would love to come back 🤓 (Original) Mir hat es hier sehr gut geschmeckt. Wir hatten Omelette und Strammen Max, sehr lecker, auch das Dressing zur Salatbeilage. Leckerer Kaffee und sehr freundlicher Service. Sehr gut finde ich, dass das Brot, welches zu viel war, in der beiliegenden Brottüte mitgenommen werden kann. Super Idee. Komme gerne wieder 🤓

(Translated by Google) We were last there for breakfast. So the bread alone is worth the visit. Very tasty goods made with love. The prices are perfectly okay for the effort. The only thing I don't like so much is the volume at breakfast. It's more like a big canteen. So pretty loud. (Original) Wir waren zuletzt zum Frühstück da. Also das Brot allein ist schon den Besuch wert. Sehr leckere und mit liebe hergestellte Waren . Die Preise sind für den Aufwand völlig in Ordnung . Das einzige was mir nicht so gefällt ist die Lautstärke beim Frühstücken. Es ist schon eher wie eine große Kantine . Also ziemlich laut.

Very nice place to eat your breakfast. Nice and friendly servants and at delicious choice of breakfast.

This place deserves a five star rating. Excellent food, coffee and service.

After explaining that I was deathly allergic to eggplant and tomato my sandwich came with grilled eggplant on it. They remade it and the second time it came with a side of tomato salsa on the plate that had spilled on the sandwich. Allergies are important, you should get it right the first time. But still failing the second time is incomprehensible.

Amazing food, cozy place. Their breakfast get you full and happy, ready for an intense day of siteseeying. Very recommended

A good spot for breakfast. Or cake. Or both. Only downside was that it’s cash only (or German debit card) but there’s an ATM next door.

Super nice and friendly staff. The breakfast was good and plenty.

This place is very busy so I would recommend a reservation. Service is on the high level and very professional stuff. Food was amazing but you cannot play with a card so have in mind when you get there to have enough cash ;)

The place to go to for breakfast. We went on a Saturday, it was busy but the place is spacious and they have more tables outside. Friendly staff , a good selection of breakfast and quick service. The cakes looked amazing unfortunately we were full to try them. If you sit outside in a sunny day, be aware that you will be sharing your breakfast with some gasps.😊🐝

We order omelet, it’s delicious. It’s a big restaurant with modern design. I could offer that to every one who fan of brunch!

(Translated by Google) The breads and rolls are simply unbeatable, so great breakfast. Unfortunately, the atmosphere is not that cozy and very loud due to the lack of soundproofing. Still gladly again. (Original) Die Brote und Brötchen sind einfach nicht zu toppen, daher super Frühstück. Die Atmosphäre ist leider nicht ganz so gemütlich und durch fehlenden Schallschutz sehr laut. Trotzdem gerne wieder.

Food is just so so. There are so many bees outside, which totally destroyed our breakfast. The food is quiet expansive. The waiters seem so busy that we wait so long time to check. We ask one waitress to check out but he said we need to Wait his coworker, in this way, we are waiting nearly 10mints.
