This sort of store is relatively rare in London. There's a good Scandi bakery centrally, but for a decent German bakery you surprisingly have to head all the way out to Richmond. What's even crazier, is not only is there a Backhaus deli a few doors down but a second German bakery/deli just around the corner.
The staff was lovely, and thankfully gave us time to decide without bothering us. Because there's a lot to choose from. I had some frosted choux-like donut which was delightful, although sadly I can't remember the name of the thing. The pretzel was the best I'd had, and the cake was excellent.
Sadly it's in Richmond which isn't exactly easy or quick to get to for me but frankly it's well worth it. I'll be back, and will probably buy more things the next time! read more
