Good bakery with good printen. Many locations so easy to access…read more (Note - When I was here in the Summer of 2018 I conducted a blind printen tasting test of 7 different local printen cookies. We did the blind tasting twice (on different days). Four locals from Aachen and 2 from the USA were involved. We compared the basic printen cookie (no nuts, icing, or chocolate). Across the two blind tasting tests Moss and Lambertz consistently came out on top, with van den Daele a very close 3rd. Dreuven was of note - although people did not rate the basic Dreuven printen cookie highly, people very VERY much liked the Dreuven with icing (princess) or with nuts or chocolate (of course were not part of the tasting test but they were available in the room). Nobis was consistently in the middle. For the tasting test we unfortunately did not have Klein cookies available but everyone noted that they did very much like Klein. And of course, there were notable differences across the tasters. I myself KNOW that van den Daele is the best, but many people mistakenly preferred other shops. In the end, it was clear that each person has to try printen from many different stores to find their own favorite(s). That such a relatively large number of different printen stores have existed for so long also suggests stable between-person differences in printen preference.)

After a night in a mediocre that wanted 8 Euros for a coffee and croissant (continental…read morebreakfast?!), we decided to head across the street to this boulangerie. And I'm glad we did! The coffee was excellent and I am very particular about coffee, especially in the morning. We just stuck with some croissants and pain au chocolat and they were fresh and tasty. Matter of fact there were tons of pasteries and I ended up getting a couple chocolate eclairs to take away too although the choice was not easy. Everything looked great. They also do sandwiches there. Another plus is that they have free wifi!

Nice made to order apple pancake! Super warm and refreshing! Highly recommend…read more They also have made to order Belgien Waffel! Love love love. Service is fast and staff is friendly!

So this cafe has been in the recommended list of cafe by the Tourist information as well, but they…read moredidn't have any oat milk or lactose free options for me, so I had a tea instead. The cheese cake was delicious, but other than that I don't see much to recommend the cafe. The waitress that served us was weird with a very high pitched voice that sounded totally put-on but annoyed at the same time. She had an air of martyrdom about her while telling me that no we don't have any lactose free options at this establishment. Jesus! But I hung on to give this cafe a try and left feeling like it was just overly hyped and not worth it. Anyway, been there, done that. At least the slice of cheese cake was not too bad...

Trying to warm up a bit, and attracted by the cakes, we went inside, lucky to find a wonderful table. The lady behind the counter was very nice and meticulous at her job. Our coffees were there in no time along with two slices of cakes. She even let us taste one of her favorites, seeing that we were definitely cake connoisseurs. There's even a tiny lift to take you to the toilets downstairs. The color scheme of this place is awesome, just a lot of glass windows so you can see the world jealous of you and your cake.
