This is a historical location for fine pastries. This place has been in business for 160 years and is a local gem, both location and offerings. You select your pastries upfront and order from your table. Very reasonable for the quality of these fine bakery items. Coffee is reasonable here and quite overpriced in the local area. With two drip coffees and two pastries i paid 15.80 Euros. Expensive for here but definitely a worthwhile experience. It's a place to socialize, not just have coffee and cake. Coffee and cake is an afternoon break ritual in Germany. read more

I've had Baum cake in America once before and loved it, so I had to give Buchwald a visit while in Germany. The original baumkuchen was on point! Just the right combination of flavors and textures. I came a bit late in the day so the selection was lacking. I was hoping to get a chocolate covered Baum, but they didn't have any left. Or any other flavors for that matter. Although they have a visa/MasterCard sticker in the window, I believe you can only use a card if you dine in, not takeaway, so bring cash. So, it's worth it for the rare delicacy that is Baum cakes, but it wasn't as good or as extensive as the ones I've had in America. read more

Konditorei Buchwald - A perfect dessert snack - cheap, unique, flavorful, and just outside the S Bahn stop. - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me - Berlin, BE

Old classics. If i was the old crazy cat lady, I would book my dates with my fellow old crazy cat ladies in this cafe. Jokes are jokes, but this is one of the few Berlin cafes with the history and with that special old-days atmosphere. This is the place to try legendary Baumkuchen, which is unfortunately is not that fancy popular thing among other hipster coffee places. Do not want to break the charm by saying to much, so just give a shot. Take your mum, grandma, friend, friends, co-workers and have a very pleasant sugar experience. read more

This is the home of original baumkuchen (tree cake). I grew up eating baumkuchen and I was so excited to try the original baumkuchen here! The place was easy to find, just few minutes walk from the train station. The bakery has dine-in section and had four different types of baumkuchen on the menu. On the day I went (mid-afternoon), there were only two types left so I ordered both! They were both chocolate-covered but not too sweet. They had a nice firm texture. They were perfect with my Darjeeling tea! read more

I'm usually hesitant about visiting these type of places that are "the oldest cafes, etc" as they tend to be overhyped. However, I found this cafe exceeded my expectations with yummy pastries, cheap coffee, and excellent service (rare in Berlin)! read more

Konditorei Buchwald - Famous Baumkuchen, with coffee and gelato! - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me - Berlin, BE

Having travelled all the way from San Francisco, held aloft by tales of baumkuchen, we were not disappointed. A little way out of the city, there rests an amazing bakery full of darling traditionalists. The cute grandmas sipping tea, coupled with the passionate and welcoming staff make the whole experience just adorable. We even got the chance to meet the grand daughter of the founder, who told us that for more than 160 years they have been making this delicious cake in the same way! I mean, how can you possibly not love a place where even the bathroom smells like sugar and cinnamon? If you are ever in Berlin, go out of your way for the sweetest of afternoon treats. read more

Konditorei Buchwald - Bad photo, but amazing cake and service! I stuffed my suitcase - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me - Berlin, BE

Celebrating 160 years of continuous operation on October 1st, 2012 Buchwald knows what Berliners want in regards to cake and coffee. If you want the ultimate Berlin coffee shop then look no further. They specialize in a German layer cake called baumkuchen. The menu is pretty much limited to coffee and cake. The dining room is very pleasant and there is a very nice outdoor dining area during the warmer months on the bank of the Spree. read more

My friend and I were visiting Berlin for the weekend and we made a special trip on the bahn just to get cake from here! It's a small cake shop that also has space for sit down but that area was all fill when we arrived. We just ordered a piece of the baumkuchen, chocolate baumkuchen and a slice of princess cake to go. As we walked away we noticed a small table to the side of the entrance which we took over to eat our cake. The baumkuchen was very tasty and I can see why everyone raves about it. I really enjoyed the princess cake and loved eating all the marzipan that was on it. All in all this is a great cute spot for a coffee and cake snack when you are in the area! read more

As the last bakery on my abroad trip bucket list, it did not disappoint. It is in an adorable place of town, so many delicious desserts, staff helped us wonderfully. I got the traditional baumkuchen and it was heavenly. Not too sweet but sweet enough. My mom got the apple cake and loved it. When I come back to Berlin I must try their cheesecake- they said it won a national competition. If you sit outside on a nice day, don't sit next to the bushes unless you want a group of birds tagging along. Would most definitely go again and again! read more

Konditorei Buchwald - Traditional baumkuchen! Apricot layers with a light marzipan glaze on top. Must try! - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me - Berlin, BE

This place is awesome! A lovely little coffee shop with outdoor seating (during warm weather) right on the river bank. A vast assortment of traditional cakes that taste as good as they look. I tried a tall piece of grapefruit cake filled with mousse and layers of deliciousness. I also had an iced coffee that came with a scoop of sweet vanilla ice cream inside, topped with unsweetened, lip-smacking-good, whipped cream. Service was fine, no complaints, no outstanding proclamations. This is definitely a place I will recommend all friends visit when they come to Berlin... don't miss it! Perfect way to enjoy an afternoon treat on a sunny day. read more

We found this place by accident on our bike trips to Tiergarten. The baumkuchen and the truffletorte are both heavenly in this place. Highly recommended! And the price is really good compared to those on offer in the more touristic areas. read more

The worst place I've ever been! Very unfriendly staff, service is simply awful!!! Like you're not a precious client but a nuisance, a disgusting fly! No respect for age or pregnancy. The assortment is not that wide as offered on their internet-site, and the staff expects you to know all the names of the cakes by heart, although I saw them for the first and surely for the last time in my life! And those cakes taste like sand!!! Absolutely disgusting! We waited for a server for 45 (!!!!!!!) minutes on a wet and cold terrase, and then we waited some 30 minutes more for our 2 VERY thin slices of tasteless cakes and a pot of cold tea, which was actually supposed to be hot... I would never ever come back to that place and don't recommend anyone to loose their time and nerves and also - money (for that exaggerated price list is not worth it!)! read more

Once again, everything is right in my world! I come to Berlin at least once a year for a few weeks, and my life was disturbed a few years ago, when they closed my favorite cafe on Unter den Linden, as they decided to renovate the building. Many years of sitting on their terrace, overlooking trees and the boulevard were ended and I could not find a comparable place. And then yesterday, in reading the local newspaper, I read about Cafe Buchwald - and went there - and found myself in a quiet oasis close to the water, shaded by trees with the most wonderful Torten in the whole world. I had two piece of different Torten - and they were to die for (probably if I had given in to my desires - i would have eaten 4 more pieces of their other Torten and then I probably would have died). "Exquisite" doesn't do their Torten enough justice. I'll be going back there tomorrow and then I'll be leaving town for about 6 days - otherwise I might gorge myself. But I will definitely visit every day after I return. I'm bursting out singing "Ich weiss, es wird einmal ein Wunder geschehen...!" cause today I finally found a cafe by the water that can almost replace the one I lost on Unter den Linden (it was a cafe that simply can not be replaced) read more

Must visit in Berlin. LOVED every single pastry I got from this place. Wish we had time to sit and enjoy the goodies in their tea lounge. My recommendations - Baumkuchen, Chocolate Baumkuchen and cheesecake. Their cheesecakes are out of this world! read more
