In Short – The small, subtle storefront belies a large and bustling bakery, where white-clad kitchen workers in back churn out a buffet of exotic Bavarian specialties. Pretzels, scones, brioche and strudel highlight a confectionary lineup of freshly prepared treats that mix in such unique ingredients as ginger, plums, walnuts and blueberries. Popular daily sandwich specials include selections with brie and sauteed mushrooms, while soups, salads and Austrian coffee complement meals.
Editor's Tips
- Look Good:
- The menu changes often, with special breakfast quiches on occasion, but chefs may be able to make yesterday's special on request.
- Save Money:
- You can frequently find the bakery's goods such as brioche at up to half-off the store price at the weekly Santa Monica Farmer's Market on Wednesdays.
- Know Before You Go:
- Be sure and stop for cash before visiting--the store only accepts cash or checks. There's a bank ATM at Washington and Centinela a few blocks east.

ripped off. Go to Bay Cities Deli instead
by mfitzpatrick33
I ordered 2 mini sandwiches. I signed the receipt. It was around 8 bucks for the two small sandwiches if I correctly remember. I was asked if I wanted a copy of receipt and I regretfully said "no thanks."
The next day I had a charge on my bank account in the amount of nearly 14 dollars.
My belief is I was marked for not asking for a receipt and that the tip line (which shouldn't be on the receipt anyway because the sandwiches were just thrown in a bag) was filled out without my consent. Had I asked for a copy of receipt I don't think this would have happened. While only a few dollars more, I find this behavior appalling and nonetheless, criminal.
Only a few blocks away on lincoln and broadway stands Bay Cities Deli. Go there instead. While the wait is a little longer, it is worth the while. Way more for your buck and best sandwiches in greater LA

Pretzels and muffins
by sbak
I love their 5 grain muffins, they're HEAVY but delicious.
Great fiber.
Also their pretzel bread is yummy but I have not had other food there yet.

Rockenwagner Bakery
by mcbaldwin
This is a great little hole-in-the-wall bakery. It's walking distance from my house, and I frequently pop by to grab a loaf of fresh-baked bread. Hans R. does a great job of providing the basics and some really interesting baked goods. It's got coffee and sandwiches and a couple of sidewalk tables. A very pleasant place to hang and chat and chew.
It is not a full on restaurant or cafe. Just a great Euro-style bakery.
- Pros: Great baked goods, interesting specialties, convenient location
- Cons: limited hours

terribly misrepresented
by kuvarica
After sampling many of his items at Farmer's and dining several times at his restaurant, I was truly disappopinted in this location. The website lists a various menu with soup, salads and so forth. When arriving, they only offered a limitied selection of premade sandwiches. Also, be aware that there are a few tables outside with one umbrella and no restroom. It's a spot better suited for a quick coffee and pastry vs. a place to linger over breakfast or lunch.
- Pros: tasty pretzels
- Cons: horrible service, not a true cafe

are you looking for laugenbrezel? here you go...
by bananasareformonkeys
i finally made it to this bakery, i had a german weisswurst breakfast planned for my husband and needed the essential pretzels for it. yes, indeed they had them, although they are 50cents in europe and this place here charges 1.50 for them, i had to get them. and yes they also taste like the german ones! since it's the only bakery making my beloved pretzels i will be a returning customer. by the way everything else in that bakery looked really really delicous!
- Cons: not very reasonably priced
