I would love to give this place 5 stars! In terms of food and service it deserves it! Wonderful bakery goods at decent prices and friendly service. I like the fact that it’s not a chain bakery. Not that chain bakeries can’t be good, but let’s keep the originality of the individual going, too! They have comfortable seating, a nice breakfast selection, good coffee and hot chocolate and some things you would enjoy eating for lunch, if they bothered to stay open for lunch.
They actually close at a lunchtime when they would no doubt have a rush of lunch hour costumers and school kids buying snacks on their way home. I guess they just don’t need customers. Must be nice. But it’s also a way of completely ignoring a neighborhood’s requirements and the satisfaction of customers that leaves me cold.
That accounts for 1 star down. The other is the smoking. I don’t really see why a bakery needs a smoking section, but fair enough. There is a ridiculous excuse for a door dividing the sections. Even when it’s closed it let’s all the smoke through. But it can’t even stay closed. The wind from the front door and the bathroom door being opened and closed blows it open! It would be funny if it weren’t so disrespectful of non-​smokers.
So there’s the other star. I can’t eat there without coughing. Why do I still go? They are so nice to children. My kids are very comfortable there and enjoy having a treat once in a while. You can’t beat reliable friendliness towards children! The kids hate the smoke to, of course. But the sunny, friendly atmosphere makes up for it. .almost.
I would go here 3 times as often if they changed their smoking set-​up and opening hours. But it’s still worth a trip here and there.

Meinl-​Kaffee; nicht mein Favorit, aber ok.
Ordentlich, sauber und nett.
Raucher getrennt.
Tadellos.
Auch der Marillenkuchen ;-)
