    Just had breakfast there on a Saturday morning. Great place. The atmosphere is beautiful and the place feels very cozy. They also can get you seated outside in the summer in their terrace which looks extremely beautiful! It's run entirely by a family. We met the owner and his daughter, they were delightful people. Very kind and nice. The service was beyond perfect. The food was delicious as well whether it was the eggs, bacon, smoked salmon, assorted cheese or the assorted meat, it was all delicious and high quality. We also tried the apple crumble dessert and the chocolate Mousse which are both handmade by the owner and I can't rate them anything less than 9/10 each! We ordered coffee and tea as well, the espresso was on point! The place may not be huge and it may not have a massive variety of food options but I think it's perfect for a little breakfast that will leave you very satisfied by the quality and you get to enjoy the company of a lovely local family running their business. And it's not expensive at all! We paid 35€ for the full bill for 2 people getting breakfast as well as coffee and tea. Which is a great bargain considering the quality of food and place you get. The whole experience is 10/10 for me. Anytime in the future I need to take someone to breakfast in Cologne, I will not think twice about taking them here to Volker's. Loved it.

    We loved the place! The service was great - super friendly and nice! We visited twice in two days and they remembered us! The croissant with pistachios is awesome, cappuccino is great as well! One small recommendation - it would be nice if the menu is in English as well ☺️

    Reserved space for 3 but got unexpectedly canceled by the owner on when I got to the restaurant. Food and place looked good, but didn’t get to touch anything. 3 stars for them recommending something else. They recommended cafe extrablatt around the corner which was great!

    I wonder why this place has 5 stars on Google. IIts a neat place, its clean, food is 3/5 stars in my opinion. Also the 2 flamkuchen did not come at the same time. All in all, a neat place to eat, but nothing more special then other places. I would reccomend the place.

    Great place and great owners! Two of them work very hard to run the whole place and provide quality food and service. Fit frühstück was our go to option and then we even got to try the pancakes which were DELICIOUS! Fit Frühstück was the perfect start to our day before we climbed to the top of the cathedral. Cappuccinos were also great. Very busy on the weekends, so just practice some patience and you won’t regret it!

    Beautiful little bistro attached to a hotel. The people working the day we went in were so pleasant and helpful. We enjoyed talking with them. The food was great. Limited menu, but we don't mind that. It's better to do a few things well than many things mediocre.

    The food was fantastic. I tried the fit breakfast, which was unusual but lovely. Mine was scrambled egg and bacon with bread rolls. The waiter asked if i wanted another bread roll free of charge, and I couldn't deny his request they were fresh and warm still. The waiter was lovely, very attentive and funny. Had a fantastic breakfast here.

    Hallo! I had a plain breakfast at a restaurant. The bagel lacked crunch and needed more flavor. The vegetables were plain and lacked taste. It felt like a quick homemade meal. I expected a better dining experience.

  • 2/5 Dieter De D. 8 months ago on Google
    The breakfast was disappointing with mediocre quality products. We took Kleines Frühstück, Granola Frühstück, Croissant, Tea and Coffee. Nice place to sit on a lovely square though.

    I have the privilege of having Coffea and cake all self made, at Volkers, first ,Roberto and his girlfriend and his Beautiful Sister Amira are simply Amazing they give you all the attention you need to make you feel seen and special. I felt relaxed and at home just in the first 10 minutes after arriving there. So thank you so much Roberto, Lisa and Amira. I Will definitely recommend this place.

    The meal is so basic and the buffet is so poor (Tuesday) that looks like the owners changed. In addition I have been charged the juice on the top of the “healthy” breakfast although it has been said it is included.

  • 3/5 Hanne P. 1 year ago on Google
    Cute place in a nice courtyard within the busy city centre, but the portions were small and quite pricey. The pancakes were dry and the bacon was stringy. It also took quite long for the food to come. Go here to drink a coffee and enjoy the atmosphere but I wouldn't go here for breakfast again.

    Lovely breakfast with exceptional friendly service. Breakfast buffet is great value and very tasty. The cherry cake is to die for. Would definitely come back!

    This is our favorite cafe when we come to visit! All of the food is made with great care and the service is genuine. The first time we came here we didn't speak any German and the gentleman that runs the establishment was happy to explain and teach us how everything works. He was also very happy to make things to order as long as he had the ingredients necessary!

    Really friendly service on a Sunday morning, loads of perfectly cooked eggs, good coffee and AMAZING home made cakes - if it brings back childhood memories you know it’s good good. All at a reasonable price. The bathroom was one of the cleanest!!! 🧼

    Had an excellent breakfast here this week. One of the few places open early in the centre. The coffee is superb, served with a homemade cookie. Really friendly and interesting owner who speaks impeccable English. Great place to relax and play cards.

    Very cozy and lovely place, we stayed here twice with a friend and absolutely loved everything from the food to the beautiful scenery. Even though the menu has nothing overly exceptional, the quality of products is top notch and people who run the business are very friendly and hospitable. Great place to start your day with!
