Homage Café in Cologne was a real gem — a cozy, charming spot with a lot of heart and attention to detail.
We tried two dishes: the sweet pancakes and a savory crêpe with egg, and both were fantastic. The pancakes were beautifully presented — a stack of fluffy goodness topped with creamy sauce, coconut flakes, pistachio crumbs, and a fresh raspberry on top. Surrounding the plate were colorful slices of fruit like strawberries, apple, kiwi, grapes, and orange, making it not only delicious but a real feast for the eyes. It felt fresh, light, and not overly sweet — just perfect for a brunch treat.
The savory crêpe was equally impressive. The buckwheat crêpe was thin yet hearty, filled with fresh ingredients, topped with a perfectly cooked sunny-side-up egg, peppery arugula, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and a drizzle of a sweet balsamic glaze. Every bite had a great balance between savory, peppery, and slightly sweet flavors — really creative and satisfying.
The atmosphere at Homage Café was very relaxed, with a bit of a vintage touch, making it a great place to slow down and enjoy your food. The staff were friendly and welcoming, adding to the positive vibe.
Overall, Homage Café is a must-visit if you’re looking for a delicious, well-crafted brunch in Cologne. We’ll definitely be coming back!
