Another insider tip is the **Café Heimisch** in Deutz. It impresses with rolls, muesli and fantastic coffee, every day until 6 p.m. Definitely try it out! If you like something a little more international, you should visit the **Café Peva**. With delicious eggs Benedict and cheesecake, it's not just on weekends - it's open from Tuesday to Sunday until 5 p.m.

Enjoy diversity

The culinary diversity of Cologne's breakfast offerings is almost endless. The **Süd & Salzig** offers a mix of sweet and savory waffles and also has vegan options. Here you can pamper yourself to your heart's content from Tuesday to Sunday until late in the evening. In the southern part of the city, **Sliced ​​Bread** also scores points with fancy sandwiches and an appealing brunch menu for two. Opening hours are Friday to Monday until 4 p.m.

In the Sülz district you will find **Deli Sülz**, where hearty French toast and vegan porridge await guests. Freshly prepared bowls and sweet pastries are also available. The region and sustainability play a big role here - many products come from the area. Breakfast times are from Tuesday to Friday until 1 p.m. and on weekends until 3 p.m.

In addition to these delicacies are the **Café Buur** and the **ST. LOUIS Breakfast** popular addresses for an *all-day breakfast*. Here you can look forward to Shakshuka or Mac 'n Cheese. The funky ambience at **ST. LOUIS** promises a special atmosphere while feasting. Word has gotten around about both places as the first port of call on the weekend, so it's worth going early or making a reservation!

Sociable atmosphere and local specialties

Specialties such as the classic German breakfast with rolls, cheese and sausage can be found in many cafés. But international dishes such as the Full English Breakfast or Huevos Rancheros also set a tone. It is recommended to explore different parts of the city. From the central old town areas to the trendy Belgian Quarter - there is something new to discover everywhere.

“New” here is also a charming refreshment of breakfast traditions. For example, the **Funkhaus** tempts you with coffee enjoyment and a great view of Cologne Cathedral. Here you can find everything from pancakes to New York cheesecake. The **Hommage Café**, on the other hand, focuses on vegan specialties and provides a little break from everyday life, perfect for relaxing with a buckwheat pancake or a fresh Bircher muesli.

The neighborhood cafés like **Bastian’s** are happy to welcome you, especially because of their homemade cakes and breads. If you want to unwind with a coffee, you will find the right place here.

Don't forget to bring cash with you, as some of Cologne's highly rated cafes don't accept card payments, and make sure to make a reservation especially on the weekend to avoid long waits! A delicious brunch in Cologne is not only a treat for the palate, but also a convivial experience that makes the city come alive.
