I live just around the corner, and one of my wishes for my experience studying in Heidelberg was to…read morebe within spitting distance of a good bakery. Well, my wish was granted.
Everything I've purchased has been fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced, and there's a certain cookie there - the Heidelberger Herz - that, while it doesn't look like the cookies I grew up eating from a bakery near my father's law office in Seattle, tastes exactly like them. The taste is so exact that it's almost eerie, but it's very welcome, especially when I'm feeling a little bit homesick or nostalgic.
Also, the service is impeccable - friendly and helpful, and patient with my non-native German skills.
