This is THE BEST Printen you can find in Germany. I've tried so many different Printens, even the…read moreones from Nobis. Nothing can compare Printen from this shop: they have so many different varieties: soft vs hard vs crunchy. Also white, milk and dark chocolate covered ones, and covered with different nuts. The staff here are so friendly and they will offer you to try their Printen. You can't go wrong with any type of Printen here. But my favorites are plains, white chocolate covered, and the crunchy ones with almonds. Tiny and cozy store. Would come back again

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...

Great baked goods. Can't comment on ambiance as our order was a take out. Everything was fresh and…read moretasty

I have to say that over the last 10 years I've most consistently purchased Nobis printen. A good…read moreprinten cookie all around (plain, princess and chocolate types). One printen cookie worth trying at least once is the chocolate with pink peppercorn. My printen tastes have shifted somewhat in the last 2 years, but there will always a place in my tummy for Nobis printen. (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.)

We couldn't contain ourselves and ended up walking out with enough sweet treats to feed an army. Apricots are in season so we had apricot tarts, berlinbollen, vla and cakes. However we were very well prepared with hostess gifts as we visited local friends.
