For coffee it is just okay. I came here pre COVID and I remember it being one of the best lattes, but now when I went back it was not up to parr, especially for PDX. The pastry was good but others in the area are just as good (maybe better but I'd have to try more) but with better coffee. I'm hoping I'm wrong and maybe it was just an off day. I will try again and update accordingly.
We ordered takeout right when they opened (8am). Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Pastries and breakfast sandwiches are delicious.
One of the best bakeries in Portland serving a great
selection of German pastries and breads.
You will find a good selection
of pasteries, cakes and breads
with a variety of drinks.
It was hard to select a few items and I picked a Danish,
Nutella swirl, Franzbrot (cinnamon roll) and two
salted pretzels.
The Danish and the Nutella
Swirl were light and flaky
and not really sweet.
The Franzbrot, a German
Cinnamon Roll, had good
taste and was not too sweet.
The pretzels taste better
when you warm them up.
A brunch menu includes
quiche, toasts, bagel and
pretzel sandwiches.
Parking is limited to the
side streets.
Located on NE Glisan and
71st street.
Credit cards are accepted.
A great place to find German
pastries, cakes, and breads with friendly service and a brunch menu.

Despite how busy it was, the staff was laid-back and friendly. Warm welcome, bright smiles, and the bread & pastries are all works of art. Beautifully crafted and sooo good, I will definitely be back for more.
The coffee was nice and strong, too, and I appreciate getting everything in paper rather than plastic. The person at the register also went out of their way to pull out the biggest of each pastry, which was a lovely touch.
Food is amazing the breakfast sandwich with the pretzel bun 🤯 wow! Great service.. coffee is amazing.. and wait till you see the sweets... I'm definitely gonna get a waffle next weekend!
I love this bakery. Each time I go I have a new favorite pastry. Chocolate almond croissant, Almond cake, Franzbrot (which is like a puff pastry cinnamon roll). Really delicious breakfast sammies too! Drool.
Best fresh pastries in Portland. Delicious coffee and fresh baked buns.
Excellent, authentic German-style baked goods. Everything I've tried takes me back to visits to Germany years ago. My favorite of their breads so far is the excellent country-style rye. My favorite pastry so far is the Eierschecke -- a lovely custard-filled almondy cake. My nieces love the pretzels and cake with berries. Service is quick and friendly and everything is made on the premises.
Too much to choose from! Great baked items and sandwiches. I had the Cat Paw, which had a cherry filling, and the ham & brie sandwich which I added a fried egg to. Perfect balance of brie and mustard, even the pickle was delicious. Can't wait to go back!
I love the outdoor seating and staff super friendly.
Best bakery I’ve ever been to. They use pastry dough, so all the pastries are nice and flaky. Went there for breakfast two days in a row, highly recommend giving it a visit!
