This place is actually a delicious little pastry shop right in the heart of downtown Ettlingen…read more They essentially have a wide assortment of breads and other pastries but I will say that what makes them delicious is their pretzels. They have all different types of pretzels but the buttered pretzel is absolutely delicious. If you're looking for a place to grab a quick midday snack, this is not a bad choice. Pros- Friendly service Inexpensive Nice selection Pretzels are delicious Location Cons- Closes early Selection limited later in day

Another one of those fabulous coffee bars in Karlsruhe…read more Roasted beans right there, creating full-bodied, delicious espresso. The people who work there as well as the customers are very uplifting and cheerful. Now that might have a lot to do with that burst of FABulous morning espresso, but my guess is this is a happy place with great people there all of the time - no matter what. The vibe is a good one.
