Not much to offer at this bakery they have someone outside selling cakes the inside is completely closed

Delicious. After a long gap of 6 years the wife and I went back here and place is as good as ever. The owner and his adorable little daughter ensured we made the right choices (not sure you can go wrong with any of these cakes tbh). The cakes were light, fluffy sponges and wasn't overwhelmingly sweet. All of the cakes had fruits (cherries, raspberries) which added great flavor and texture. We will definitely be back and hopefully there isn't a 6 year gap this time around. read more

Very packed on a Saturday morning, the OGB has great service. Ordered my espresso and cherry danish, and was brought to my table a few moments later. I guess I'd want a little more filling, but the danish was fresh and great. Definitely a top bakery in Hoboken read more

This is a great bakery. The owner imports ingredients from Germany to make breads and pastries. I've had a loaf of the sourdough whole wheat which is excellent: nice crust, good chew. The owner is very nice, happy to explain how everything is made and what goes into it. If you want some authentic , delicious German baked goods come here! read more

Oh man these guys have one of the best cakes I've ever eaten. I'm a sucker for cakes and these guys being in the neighborhood just gave me another excuse to help myself to some. Came here with my boyfriend and his sister after some drinks at a nearby pub and some dinner. Glad we didn't get dessert anywhere else. Do not order dessert no matter what kind of fancy ass restaurant you're in in Hoboken. Seriously just eat your dinner and head straight here. The owner is a very helpful chap. He explained to us what each one of the cakes were. That helped us a lot in trying to pick one flavor each from the horde of delicious cakes on display. He was also kind enough to get us glasses and pour water for us. Great guy! Great place! Great cakes! Danke! read more

Amazing Amazing Amazing My daughter lives in Hoboken and I stop here whenever I visit. Super nice. Unbelievably delicious. Not to sweet deserts. I can't say enough good things about this place. A gem. read more

This place is our favourite cafe in the area. The owner always gives us a warm welcome. I love all the selection they have. And my favourite are the strudels. Sweet and Savoury. Going here always feels like home! read more

Horrible owner/ manager poor service. I brought a whole loaf of bread back because it was falling apart And was unedible like too much flour He insisted it was not from here. As if I imagined buying it. It was insulting in front of other customers too. He did not offered replacement or refund. He lost a regular customer instead of treating me fairly. read more

Great tasting pastries which reminds you of German bakeries. Enjoyed talking about Germany with the owner.

I didn't get any sweets here but I did get this pastry filled with spinach, and this other pastry filled with eggplant and zucchini. The spinach one was a bit dry. I really enjoyed the eggplant and zucchini one because it also had some tomato sauce (?) in it, so it gave it a nice flavor. Judging from the rest of these reviews, I think I might be the only person who didn't go for the sweets. Overall, it's a bit pricey but it's good if you're in the area and you're looking for a savory snack that's somewhat healthy. read more

Great service. Excellent prices. Very clean and open. Wish they had a bigger selection but I went on a Thursday afternoon and they were running out of a lot of pastries. The mini berliners with hazelnuts (Nutella inside, not whole hazelnuts) are delicious and $.85 a piece! Paper bags are $.20 each just FYI. Very authentic pastries. Also similar in style to Eastern European. Can't wait to come back. read more

Dropping a star for service issue. Actually what service? Some things I recommend you say... "Hello" "Can I help you?" "Do you have any questions?" "Who's next?" Instead I was virtually invisible until I walked out. Regardless of the quality of the food, I like to at least be acknowledged. Maybe it's time to explore bakeries in JC. read more

Revisited this place after almost two years and I had to say the low rating I gave last time was simply because I have ordered the wrong food! So this time, got the almond vanilla bar (filling inside, fluffy and yummy) with coffee. They open even on thanks giving morning - add one star right away. I was literally running alongside Washington street and everybody is closed! read more

Very, very disappointed. We walked across Washington Avenue after a great dinner at The Cuban Restaurant to try some baked goods after reading the favorable reviews on Yelp. From 7-9 pm, Old German Bakery discounts their baked goods so I was psyched that I would get to try some baked goods at a discounted price. We ordered the apple streudel, poppyseed pastry and a hazelnut danish. All were varying degrees of inedible. The apple streudel was filled with such tart tasting apples that my taste buds were just overwhelmed with unpleasant sourness. The hazelnut danish was bland, boring and undersweetened, more the sweetness I would expect in a bread. And finally, the award for the most bizarre dessert I have ever eaten: the poppyseed pastry. Visually, this danish looked like a lovely square croissant that was dusted with powdered sugar and filled with poppyseed. Well, it was filled with poppyseed but it was topped with some parmesean cheese tasting outer crust. It was the most nauseating combination of savory and sweet. Finally, every danish was dry. I understand we had slim pickins being there on a Sunday night, but at the inflated price of $4.75 a danish, we were shocked at the subpar and strange tasting pastries. When we got home later, my husband said, "I can't believe we have to resort to eating Milano cookies for dessert." read more

Wonderful bakery, friendly and very helpful staff, delightful products! We walked by this place in search of coffee, and we were immediately drawn in by the welcoming aroma of freshly baked goods. The owner (I presume?) was just running up front with a tray of freshly baked quark and raspberry pastries. The pastries were so adorable, and you can see the jam and quark peeking out from the holes. "I'm bringing out two more trays. Just one moment please," he said. As we feasted ourselves with the selection of pastries, he went to the back and emerged a few minutes later with two more trays of fresh pastries, this time apple turnovers and two types of apple stroudle. "What's the difference?" we asked. One stroudle has more dough less apple slices, and the other has less dough and more apple slices. Both look delicious. We got a raspberry quark pastry, a chocolate croissant, and a apple turnover. The pastries were light and airy, and they melt in your mouth. You savor bite after bite of delicious flavor. The pastries go very well with the coffee. We cannot ask for a better treat on the weekend. Sehr gut! Very good, as they say in German. Must try! read more

I was fortunate to walk past this bakery when it was the store's anniversary, so they had a really good deal on their pastries that I could not pass up on. This German Bakery has a wide selection of baked goods, including cakes, rolls, croissants, pastries, brownies, pretzels, and etc. I had a tough time deciding what I wanted to try. I ultimately bought an apple berliner, apple turnover, raspberry/vanilla turnover, and a quark ball (mini-donut that has a cheesy flavor to it) My friends and I who have tried these all agree that they were ALL delicious! My personal favorite was the apple turnover, full of flavor and sweetness! The apple berliner was such a bargain (normally priced $1) and it can fill you up pretty well if you like apples. The berliner is just dough with chucks of apple inside, simple, yet satisfying. The staff was very friendly and suggested me to get a variety of their baked goods. If I had a larger stomach, I definitely would have! There are so many desserts that seem very tempting to try here and I would need to come back and try more of their creations. In addition, they have a nice selection of coffees and even sandwiches, so you can have a full meal too if you wish, ending with a delicious dessert! read more

Full disclosure, my appraisal might be a bit unfair. I walked in sick with a cold and craving a very specific comfort food that exists, but 100 miles away. It is a sweet potato layer cake with a cinnamon triple sec glaze, cinnamon cream cheese frosting on the layers, and caramel buttercream on top. You see? Now you're craving it too, as you should. Regardless, I had my heart set on cake. The first issue is they have no labels for the assortment of cakes and pastries. There were several patrons behind me and I felt bad holding them up inquiring about every single item. Furthermore, the explanations from the clerk were vague, at best. The second issue is that each item was in very short supply. I was going to get the last slice of beehive cake, but I could hear the man behind me audibly wince when I asked about it. Trust me, I know that should have increased my sense of urgency, but my conscience got the best of me. I settled on two types of hazelnut treats, not because I wanted two cakes but because none really jumped out at me. One was a straightforward layer cake with hazelnuts in cream icing. The cake was stale and bland. I abandoned it after a few bites. The other was more of a shortbread dipped in chocolate topped with a layer of diced hazelnuts and honey. The chocolate was waxy and flavorless, but the rest of it was nice. It gained steam with each bite possessing a flavor profile reminiscent of baklava. These two pastries rang in at $12. Not exactly highway robbery, but not a great value either. I won't be rushing back. read more

Love this small little German Bakery in Hoboken! They have a lovely sweet girl that works behind the counter. She was very helpful explaining the desserts to my girl and I. I tried their sugar powdered ball. Its sooo soft and fluffy it felt like you werent even biting anything when I sank my teeth through it. I also tried their ice german coffee..;) The person who made my coffee was the owner. He was very nice and friendly to all his customers. He has many loyal ones. My girl had a sore throat so she has a hot lemon tea. It was a bit too lemony for me, but it did help her throat ;) I would come back here and try more of their desserts. Its not overrated like some bakeries around here haha. read more

Wow, everything is good here. Went there 9 in the morning when they just open and everything is warm and crispy. As good as it gets.

One of the best, hottest, strongest coffees in Hoboken. You heard me right. Always frothed milk and the owner (who's there all z time) says it's straight from Austria. Take it to go or enjoy it in a perfect little OGB cup and saucer. Now the PASTRIES are something to write home about, too. About 10 kinds each time I go. This past time I got a raisin croissant, which was excellent. But don't be afraid to try something new. Like one filled with (quark?). Soft, sweet cheese. Prost! read more

OMG!!!! We got two things, granted 9 bucks is a lot, but you're in Hoboken and the baked goods were definitely WORTH IT!! Thee berry yogurt cake melted in my mouth like butter. It was delicious and I will be back.

I'm from Germany and I was so happy to see this place. It made my day. Wait no it didn't bc EATING their cakes made my day. Their black Forrest cake is spot on! It is legit! Seriously it reminDs me of my aunts cakes back in Bavaria and my aunt is good! I love this place. I just ordered a bread cutting machine and will be getting my bread here in the morning in Saturday. I'm so super excited. Eating here reminds me of Germany minus the scenery. But hey it's NYC ... But at least it's 100% Germany in my mouth! Love this place!!! read more

We only tried the chocolate cream cake and it was light and not too sweet which was nice. The chocolate flavor wasn't strong enough for me, but it still satisfied the craving. At $6.5 for a single slice, I did think this place was slightly overpriced. The staff were also very amiable. read more

You get what you pay. Baked goods are amazing here! Very elegant but also very expensive. They offer breakfast here but only have one option which comprises of meat, cheese, and bread with coffee and OJ. Food was not impressive and we waited OVER half an hour (we didn't get our drinks until we got our food)... which we found out that it was sitting at the counter for some time... Overall, I will not go back for breakfast but I will go back for their delicious baked goods. read more

Wife and I came here in the evening and got the peach yogurt cake, cherry vanilla crumb cake, and a cup of coffee. Everything was great, especially their coffee, which tastes a lot better than Starbucks. I think it would be better to come here in the morning though, as the pastries would probably be more fresh at that time. Still, even in the evening, it was really good. The staff is always very friendly and helpful, which I really appreciate. read more

First thing first ... It smells so good in the shop. They all looked delicious but I can get only one :) The owner was very friendly and helped me pick out the one I like. Will come back for sure. read more

Instead of hitting up Carlos' Bakery (because the line was ridic) we decided to hit this place up, thanks to the Yelp reviews. Forgive my memory, I don't quite remember the goodies we got from here, but they were delectable. I had a white cake with raspberry on top, 2nd favorite of the 3 we tried. Sis had a chocolate cake which was light and was perfectly moist. Best one goes to the cheesecake type with a swirl of red on top. Yuumy! The coffee was awesome, according to my fellow foodies. I'm sure the rolls and sandwiches are good as well but unfortunately didn't get to try em. The shop had a few tables & was cozy. read more

I often go to Germany on business so I stopped by on a business trip to Hoboken. I got a chocolate and cherry pastry and it's the real deal. It is that perfect degree of sweetness found in German pastries where it is sweet but not overly sweet like so many pastries found at US bakeries. read more

Walked in pretty late, around 8pm, so sadly many of the fresh pastries were gone. I got a piece of chocolate cake and tea (they carry Mighty Leaf, which is my favorite bagged brand) and sat down. The presentation of everything was nice and the shop has a warm feel to it. Perfect on a cold December evening. My cake was enjoyable, though not mind blowing. It was not too sweet, just right, with hits of creamy chocolate pieces throughout that added moisture to this slightly dry cake. Went well paired with my hot drink. I hope to try the desserts everyone's yelping about sometime. read more

This is a must visit if you're in Hoboken. The owner & baker Haytad is a gem and will quickly detail all of the days offerings. Bread sells out by noon.
