OTT Patisserie

I was overjoyed to find OTT café in Birkenhead one afternoon, as I strolled by on my way to the video store.
Located on the corner of a busy roundabout in Birkenhead, you get a nice picturesque view of the village as it moves around the front.
I could not resist the home made German chocolate twist pastry, done in a traditional style of course, which was sensational, and beats my usual fave chocolate croissant any day.
I was happy to meet the owner the day I arrived a very happy German man by the name of Chris, as I have researched after he is a very well trained pastry chef of seventeen years.
The café is full of wonderful treats, they serve amazing coffee, wholesome and delicious bread and the most fabulous pastry this side of Auckland Harbour Bridge.
Please make this a marked stop on your journeys north.

Its funny after we moved to the area, my mum and I visited Birkenhead shops and we wanted somewhere to have a cake and coffee, I wanted to come here and my Mum was like what about that place and this other place. But we came here and she loved it, the lady serving was a little rude or maybe stressed but that didn’t deter us, we came back for more. So after the first visit I have been back 4 times, twice with my mum.

Its hard to choose which sweet treat/​cake to buy, as they all look so good, so each time I have tried something different and haven’t been disappointed yet. This bakery is a German inspired one, but the owner Chris (who is very friendly) has worked all over the place and has now opened this great place. You will find all sorts here, cakes, chocolates, fudge, bread and also nice coffee. What’s also great is how reasonable the prices are.
So I was very impressed with this small but well worth a visit German café, where you can either eat in at or just grab and run. Oh and its also had the seal of approval from my German friend.
