We visited Jena last month and made a stop at this easy-to-spot bakery. Always packed with people,…read morewe thought it would be a good one! So we made our selections from the display and ordered some coffee drinks to go (in case we couldn't finish and had to go, we can take it with us). We then decided to sit outside the bakery (they have outside sittings set up) About 10 minutes later while we were enjoying THEIR cakes and coffees, a server came out and rudely told us to go away. Apparently because everything we bought from their bakery were packed as to go, we have to go and not eat at their terrace. We could understand some restaurants' policy, however, the way they sent us away was very rude and ruined our mood for the whole afternoon. First of all, we came from US and all the bakery we've been to in the US never had this kind of policy. We understand that different country has different rules, however this was our first time in Jena and also our first time making purchase at a bakery so we didn't know. How hard is it to politely tell us the bakery's policy? Thanks Gräfe for giving us a bad day!

This is a beautiful, cozy cafe in Erfurt that serves Flammkuchen, German dishes, breakfast, and…read morenice desserts. The bacon onion flammkuchen was flavorful, light, and wonderful. I also got the pork neck with fried potatoes and salad - the portions are massive, hearty, and delicious. We also got the cherry meringue cake for dessert but it was a bit too sweet for me. The staff were a bit aloof af first, but were polite :)

I was here 5 years ago - pre Qype, and it was with trepidation that I revisited it. What if it had…read moreclosed? What if it had changed hands? What if it was shut for Easter? I needn't have worried, it was exactly where I left it, but a bit bigger than I remembered. We popped in for an afternoon coffee and cake to start with, and it was as expected - excellent. I had a cappuccino and a walnut tart, which was a bit like walnut/treacle tart - delicious. Hubby had apple cake with the mother and father of hot chocolates - imagine - a dark chocolate drink infused with muscat, ginger and cinnamon - after he recovered his socks, he had a big grin on his face. We went back this morning for breakfast, and I stuck to the excellent croissant, with butter and home-made confit (you can't call it jam), with freshly squeezed orange juice, and followed by a fresh fruit salad. Hubby had the bread basket (home-made bread). We snaffled a couple of pieces of the walnut/treacle tarty thing, which is at this moment sitting in our fridge calling to me. Sometimes I wish I lived in Erfurt, but, waistlines considered, it's probably just as well I don't.
