Traveler reviews
Jade K
★★★★★a year agoFantastic pastries that may well transport you straight to France. Looking for good bakery options early in the morning and was glad to have found this gem. Pistachio croissant was delicate and flaky in the right ways, but I would have hoped for more pistachio cream filling. Brioche was yummy too! Nevertheless I'd still recommend this place. Skip the other bakeries and chain stores near the station and walk over instead, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

★★★★★3 years agoI was recommended this place by a true French man, who stated this is the place in Munich to get traditional pastries like how they do in France. You will not be disappointed to try their pastries and cakes. Every time I've been in here, there is a good group of people enjoying the food they produce. You can't go wrong with what you choose but they seem to sell out fast, so I'd recommend going in the morning if allowable.
