01/10/2025: I find the way some Germans behave here truly outrageous. Especially as a German, I have to say I've never been to a better bakery. We were here almost every day during our honeymoon, and we had the most delicious cinnamon rolls we've ever eaten, absolutely delicious cruffins (also the best; I wouldn't know where you'd get them in Germany), and the best matcha we've ever tasted. Everything is absolutely perfect here, especially when you eat the sweet treats.

12/08/2025: Excellent bread and pastries, although the latter did not quite live up to expectations. It seems that all their bread is 'sourdough bread', but I must admit that I did not categorize the flatbread and French bread in that category. Real sourdough bread is significantly heavier and has more 'bite', so when bakers just add a little sourdough to their mix and call their bread 'sourdough bread', I am very skeptical from the start. The wholemeal spelt bread is lovely with a balanced amount of seeds and grains. It is excellent, and tastes pleasant. (4 out of 5). Napoli bread is flavorful and a mix between durum bread and sourdough bread. (4 out of 5). Cruffin with pistachio. Cf. Bodenhoff's website - "Delicious cruffin, baked from buttered croissant and filled with pistachio. Rolled in sugar and topped with pistachio." This one was unfortunately disappointing, because both in appearance and according to the description it looks like it should have pistachio filling, like a Berliner, but in reality it just has a small dab of pistachio on top. It's not that it tastes bad (it definitely doesn't), but it doesn't live up to expectations and it becomes a very dry experience without cream inside. (2.5 out of 5).
