This cozy cafe is located on a quaint street (Waldstraße) near the Stephansplatz market square and…read morewas the perfect place to begin my last full day in Karlsruhe. As you walk through the inviting doorway, a meticulous array of freshly made pastries and breads lays beautifully on the wooden countertop. After a detailed survey of my options, I opted for a cinnamon almond croissant (the actual German name sadly escapes me) and black coffee. The breakfast pastry was airy, light, and full of flavor. My Italian-inspired espresso coffee was robust and gave me a nice little jolt. My German friends mentioned that Pâtisserie Ludwig constantly rotates their pastry offerings depending on the season and even offers gourmet ice cream for the warm days of summer. Outside of the phenomenal food offerings, the rustic decor made for a magically relaxing environment. My friends and I were lucky enough to have one of the two sitting rooms all to ourselves. These rooms have beautiful wood floors throughout and wooden tables to match. Light from outside bounced beautifully through the windows, making me want to stay inside and chat until dark. If I were a student in Karlsruhe, this would be the perfect place to stay caffeinated and get some solid reading for classes done. At the end of my stay, I was happy to hand over my Euros to the kind and helpful baristas and treat my friend Sammi to her birthday breakfast.

By far the best bakery in Karlsruhe. The prices are absolutely reasonable for what you get as the…read morecakes are so rich and filling. We went for the second time today to take some treats home - so I can't comment on the service for sit-down customers - and plan on coming back very soon. My husband had a cassis cake with a macaroon on top which was just delicious - fruity without an artificial taste and the lightest sponge cake bottom - and I had an "All or Nuts" mousse cake which was beyond words. Nutty with a liquid caramel center, soft mousse and a crumbly bottom. We sure can't wait to go back!

They also have a back patio where you can sit. The front of the store is just glass cases of goodies. Right behind the register is a small area for seating but on a nice day the patio outside in back is great. Zen and modern is what I would call this area. They have regular food too that was pretty good too but it's mainly about the deserts. Enjoy!! :)

They HAD the best until two years ago then changed recipes/style of this tart. It's okay but nothing great like it used to be. The rest of the pastries/desserts are amazingly good but I rank patisseries by lemon tarts. Sorry Rebert. Bring back the original and you'll regain #1 status.

What a fantastic little restaurant/bar/patisserie. We'd walked by this place many, many times in…read morethe past without stopping in. Glad we stopped for lunch this past weekend. We grabbed one of three empty tables when we stopped in around 1300. Good thing as within 10 minutes all tables were full and customers were turned away! My wife had quiche Lorraine and I had tarte flambé gratinee. Both were absolutely fantastic! I still find it funny that we only find quiche Lorraine in Alsace ... go figure. The quiche was tasty, cheesy, and had a wonderful pastry crust. The tarte flambé was also super tasty, nicely cooked (perfect with just a slight touch of burned crust), and the cheese on top had a great taste. It was the best tarte flambé I've yet eaten. We brought an uncooked quiche home since it was so darn good. Eat here and you won't be disappointed with the quiche and tarte flambé. Be forewarned, that's about the extent of the food menu. But it was perfect for what we wanted.

I wanted to give this place five stars - it's so rare to find an American cake shop here! And it's…read moreso cute and quaint! And she makes all the cakes there herself! And the variety's great! And the taste is delicious! And the frosting is amazing!!!! And it's not overpriced like American cake shops in Tokyo are! And I can't wait to go back! But I couldn't eat the bottom of my carrot cake - it was undercooked - ew. And i didn't get a fork with my little to-go wrapped paper plate, and it was too wet and frosting-y to eat with my fingers, so... Well let's just say it wasn't pretty.

Die Pralinen fanden wir gut, aber nichts Außergewöhnliches (wir haben schon viel bessere probiert, vor allem in Brüssel). Leider befindet sich das Mary Poppins ziemlich weit von uns entfernt, sonst könnten wir ab und zu für einen Kaffee/Kuchen hingehen. Extra hinfahren lohnt sich für uns nicht, da wir das Café gut, aber nicht außergewöhnlich fanden. Es ist einfacher für uns ins Café Brenner (http://alphafuchs.wordpress.com/2012/12/20/cafe-brenner-karlsruhe-3/) zu gehen, weil es etwas näher ist und die Tortenqualität vergleichbar ist.

The lady at the counter was really nice and explained all the options. She spoke excellent English so that was a plus. I had the rhubarb crumble and chocolate cheesecake. The rhubarb was fantastic! It had a great taste and wasn't too sweet. The chocolate cheesecake was ok. If you are used to American cheesecake, the taste is different and won't be the taste or texture you are expecting. That being said it is still tasty. I will have to go back and try more treats soon.
