    Nice breads which is the main reason you go to a bakery of course. Went there for breakfast with my girlfriend and both ordered menu she ordered vegetarian I ordered all in. They delivered both all in we asked to have hers taken back as she's vegetarian... They took it to the back, removed the ham on it and brought it back. Everywhere still little pieces of ham on the cheese and the liquid front he ham as it's boiled still over it making it not the best experience.

    (Translated by Google) Too bad that you have to give a star at all. The service in this cafe is absolutely bad. The employee who serves customers coffee, etc. in the back is so outrageous. She treats all customers like the last muck, snorts customers, etc. Once and never again. Now I understand why there is never anything going on there. (Original) Schade, dass man überhaupt einen Stern geben muss. Der Service in diesem Cafe ist absolut schlecht. Die Mitarbeiterin, die hinten die Kunden bedient Kaffee usw. macht, ist sowas von unverschämt. Sie behandelt alle Kunden wie den letzten Dreck, schnautzt die Kunden an, usw. Einmal und nie wieder. Jetzt verstehe ich auch, warum dort nie was los ist.

    A decent local bakery with a variety of bread, sweets and breakfast options. Has a comfy free parking lot in front of it. I'd suggest paying more attention to the quality of the coffee drinks made. They have everything to do it good, but they just don't... A barista workshop for all the employees would be cool. The place could get overcrowded over weekends with all the hikers from/to Zündorf.

    (Translated by Google) We often have breakfast here when we stop in Porz on our rowing tour. So far, the selection and quality has always been very good. The fact that things stall a bit when the shop is full is easy to get over. (Original) Hier frühstücken wir öfters mal, wenn wir auf unserer Rudertour Zwischenstation in Porz machen. Bisher war die Auswahl und Qualität immer sehr gut. Das es mal etwas stockt, wenn der Laden voll ist, ist doch leicht zu verschmerzen.

    (Translated by Google) Great bakery rolls and cake selections are really great, always friendly staff. Unfortunately there are too few of the bakery in Cologne. I usually drive to Zündorf or Siegburg, which is 5 or 9 kilometers from me ..... that says it all :-)) (Original) Tolle Bäckerei die Brötchen und die Kuchen Auswahlsind echt super, immer freundliches Personal. Leider gibt es von der Bäckerei zu wenige in Köln. Ich fahre meistens immer nach Zündorf oder Siegburg das sind von mir 5 bzw. 9 Kilometer.....das sagt doch alles :-))

  • 5/5 Frank G. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very nice atmosphere, generous selection of dishes, breakfast, cake and snack. Here you can drink and dine coffee very well and comparatively cheaply. And of course - as with all Gilgen bakeries - the rolls and breads are unbeatably delicious. For me the best bakery chain by far. The strawberry slices with fresh strawberries, the cheesecake and the strappy apple are particularly recommended for cakes. (Original) Sehr schönes Ambiente, großzügige Auswahl an Speisen, Frühstück, Kuchen und Imbiss. Hier kann man sehr gut und vergleichsweise preiswert Kaffee trinken und speisen. Und natürlich - wie bei allen Bäckereien von Gilgen - sind die Brötchen und Brote unschlagbar lecker. Für mich mit Abstand die beste Bäckereikette. Besonders empfehlenswert an Kuchen sind die Erdbeerschnitte mit frischen Erdbeeren, der Käsekuchen und der Riemchenapfel.

    (Translated by Google) Operation very bad. Black-haired girl with a braid. Forget the cutlery, served the wrong sandwich, served tea without a saucer, put tea bags on the tablet, put the wrong tea, no handkerchiefs ... (Original) Die Bedienung ganz schlecht.

Besteck vergessen, falsches belegtes Brötchen serviert, Tee ohne Untertasse rausgegeben, Teebeutel aufs tablet gelegt, falschen Tee, keine Taschentücher bekommen...

    (Translated by Google) I was in the afternoon of June 2nd, 2020 with a friend GILGEN´S bakery. I had just arrived and then an unfriendly saleswoman came and said "You can't just sit there and have to order something in an unfriendly tone". Really unfriendly, incompetence and overwhelmed ". This is a no-go for gastronomy! I'm not going anymore ". There are several cafes and friendly staff in Zündorf! (Original) ich war heute nachmittag am 02.06.2020 mit einem Freund in der GILGEN´S Bäckerei. ich war gerade angekommen und dann kam schon eine unfreundliche Verkäuferin und meinte "Sie können nicht einfach da sitzen und müssen was bestellen in einem unfreundlichen Ton". Richtig unfreundlich, Inkompetenz und überfrordert". Das ist für Gastronomie ein NO-Go! Ich gehe nicht mehr hin" . Es gibt in Zündorf mehrere Cafes und freundliches Personal dazu!

  • 5/5 Peter B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice, cozy café and is not far from the Rhine marina on the Groov. It is therefore well suited to combine coffee drinking with a walk across the Groov. (Original) Schönes, gemütliches Cafè und ist nicht weit weg vom Rhein-Yachthafen an der Groov gelegen. Daher ist es gut geeignet, das Kaffeetrinken mit einem Spaziergang über die Groov zu verbinden.
