Hommage Café

We stopped by Hommage Café for a spontaneous breakfast and were able to get a table right away, which was great. However, the space is extremely tight — very little room between tables and not the most comfortable seating. The ordering concept also felt a bit off: you find a seat first, then queue at the bar without a menu, order there, and later queue again at the same bar to pay. It created an unnecessary hassle and took away from the experience. That said, the food itself was nicely prepared and beautifully presented — you can tell they put care into it. The coffee, on the other hand, was rather average. Although nicely presented, for my taste the cappuccino had way too much milk and lacked balance. Tasted more like hot chocolate. Overall, good food, admirable effort, but the setup and comfort could be a bit better.

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!

Really cozy vibes, I loved the vintage style tables and decoration. There were this cute napkin notes inside of the table drawers with messages and poems <3. The pancakes was far beyond my expectations, with lots of fruit and this really yummy runny almond butter!! Note that you can’t pay with card here, but it’s definitely worth a trip to the atm (or use PayPal)

We had a wonderful and delicious experience for Sunday Brunch. Expertly crafted coffee and tasty breakfast. Their back and side outdoor space offers a little nook of peacefulness. Highly recommend checking this spot out on your travels

For the breakfast place 🥐☕️🍳 We had breakfast here and it was such a lovely experience 🥰 The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming ✨ The service was very friendly, and I loved how perfectly the warm drinks were prepared ☕️👌 The food tasted amazing 😋 A great choice for a cozy date with a friend 💕👭 Highly recommend! 🌟

The food was absolutely amazing, gluten free, dairy free options. Our pancakes were well presented, so tasty! We also had freshly squeezed OJ- lovely fresh start to the morning. The real downsides lay in the means of paying- only PayPal or cash. We hadn’t seen this on the sign when we arrived. Only carried 15 Euros around as most European cities I’d been in lately were cashless. So me and my partner struggled our way to make a PayPal account which took longer than we fancied. Also no toilet :(

Soooo yummy! I had a savory crepe with goat cheese, honey, walnuts & fruit. Big portion. The flat white & cappuccino were so good & the foam art was so pretty! The presentation was very lovely. Açaí bowl was awesome!

Super cozy and eclectic space with BANGIN food. The goat cheese toast with honey and walnuts and fruit? Changed me as a person. So delicious. The vibe might not be for everyone, but I thought it was perfect. Will definitely be back!
