Reviews


A visit to this restaurant offers a mixed experience, with some customers praising the delightful pastries and charming atmosphere, while others criticize the dry baked goods and rude service. The prices are a point of contention, with some feeling that they are overcharged for basic items. However, those who enjoy German cuisine find the selection of schnitzels and goulash to be tasty and authentic. Despite some shortcomings, the delicious treats on offer make it a worthwhile stop for those looking for a sweet indulgence, on average, the rating for German Bakery & Sachsen Cafe is 3.7.

Food isn't bad, but for these prices you might as well just fly to Germany and buy your lunch there.
