Wide-ranging in terms of options, early-arrivers offered Viennesoire and Cakes plus Quiche while afternoons feature Wine, Cheese and Sandwiches, it is thanks to a bottle-neck created by cases that lines are forced outdoors along Bergerstrasse, the fact that most know precisely what to order keeping things moving though time for decision-making once able to see the choices is limited. More fluent in French than German, and authentically rude in response to questions uttered in English, it was after selecting five items that nearly 20€ cash was paid, the first beggar encountered before Food was even unwrapped with another following just after biting into a cloyingly sweet Almond Croissant sopping with Frangipane. Not about to subject even the homeless to such messy remnants, though the birds proved less discerning, it was fortunate that Chocolate Brioche proved better in terms of both texture and taste while a Profiterole with Vanilla Cream unfortunately fell short as it had clearly been frozen overnight with evidence in both chilly Choux and Ice crystals amidst the Filling.

This. Place. Right. Here…read more I feel like giving the staff a big hug each time I walk in the door. They are nearly always incredibly busy, and yet they make me feel so welcome I feel as if I am at home. The pastries, food, coffee, is just as it should be. I particularly love the quiche Lorraine and the bite-size (making them way too convenient to eat), soft, sticky canneles. The breakfast buffet is the stuff of fairy tales- it's open on Sundays upstairs in the restaurant with all you can eat croissants, baguettes, cheese, pâté, muesli, quiches, vegetables, fruit, Lachs, salami, and select bites of pastry. In the winter an all you can eat, made to order crêpe station is also included. The location is also spot on- right in the heart of Bornheim in a pedestrian zone that allows for a perfect vantage point to "people watch." Baguette Jeanette is really the place to go all year round and can lighten your mood no matter how down you may feel.
