Well during this search I stumbled upon these absolutely stunning little cakes and I knew I would absolutely HAVE to stop in. Well my time in Munich was brief (24 hours to be exact) but I made it In to Maelu (I think I was first in line lol) and boy did they deliver. I got a cappuccino and the pistachio cake to enjoy there. Luckily they have massive umbrellas so I was still able to enjoy this breakfast outside even though it was drizzling, and I even found it to be quite a pleasant experience. It's a bakery so I don't know why I was surprised they have table service but the waitress comes right over and takes your order rather than ordering at the counter. (You DO order at the counter for take away though) Let's talk about this pistachio torte, oh my was it delicious! It has a delicious cake layer at the bottom but was topped with this succulent, I don't even know what to call it. Not like foam but it had this lovely perfect airy texture. (Obviously I'm not a baker lol so my terminology isn't the best) regardless of what it's called or how I describe it...it was amazing! I took some macarons to go because I am a macaron fiend, but I am deeply regretting not taking another torte or two. Wowza If you are in München and you want a delicious pastry or sweet you absolutely MUST make Time got Maelu. I promise you they will blow your mind! And don't make the same mistake I did, take EVERYTHING home with you because you will want more for later!

The pralinés are little artworks, almost to beautiful to eat, but once you've tried them, you won't ever hesitate destroying the piece of chocolate art. The taste is fantastical, an explosion of flavors will challenge your taste buds, I promise! I love this place, the owners are extremely passionate about their products and always eager to suit your wishes. In spring and summer there are just a few seats outside where you can enjoy the chocolate and have a cup of coffee while watching people strolling down the road towards the Victualienmarkt. Go there, the prices are high, but just adequate for the quality of the products you can get there. 5 stars! PERFECT!!!

This is one of my favorite stores. ever. period…read more I found this store by wandering Marienplatz. A friend tipped me off to see Dahlmayr but they didn't tell me this place was a few doors down. I was drawn in then I saw fresh bread in the window and people camped out with coffees and light bites in this in-store cafe. Upon entering, there's a counter where you can order freshly baked bread, charcuterie and cheese. Closer the front, you can grab a seat and have a coffee and cake. I wasn't sure how it worked. Did I have to go up to the counter and order? If you want service, you have to track down one of the servers that shuttle food back and forth. The place can get packed so if you see a chair, take it! Actually, you might have to hover and wait for someone to finish for a chair. It can get that busy! While snagging a seat, try to put in an order. The menus are posted on the chalkboard walls, and they also have real food on a paper fold out menu. Decide fast and track down a server. I think the servers deliberately try to ignore you if its busy. I have been here twice and both times its been a nightmare to get a food order in, or to get a staffer to even notice you. You have to speak up and really get their attention otherwise you'll never get service. I've had 2 older ladies beat me to it. I'm shy about my lack of German. That's the hard part. Once you get that down, you won't be disappointed. The food is high quality with fresh ingredients. They take care in the simple foods that work- bread, charcuterie, cheese, cakes, crostinis and good coffee. Maybe that's why they're so busy. My recommendation, the cheesecake. It's not too dense, but rather creamy, almost fluffy with a hint of lemon to cut through the potential monotony of a cheesecake. Pair this with a cappuccino and you'll be golden. Just remember, don't be shy to speak up!
