The aroma of the bakeries are so strong and heavenly, you can find it just by the smell of it. They are known for their sourdough but I was told to try their brioche which was what I got. The bread was soft, pillowy, with a slight sweetness to it that's perfectly balanced with the natural flavors of wheat flour and milk. A small batch just came out when we arrived so it was warm as we devoured it. I was told there's usually a long line but maybe it was during the heat wave when we went so there were only a few people ahead of us. One interesting thing is there's a stone in front of the store which has 2 shapes of their signature breads. They actually use that to guarantee the size of the bread. Overall, although they only offer limited items, but they've perfected what they do offer. You can tell they use high quality ingredients. This is a must try when in the city.

It was located below the street level, next to St. Peter and the funicular station up to the Hohensalzburg fortress. The wonderful smell of freshly baked bread was quite strong as we got closer and really caught our attention! Out in front was a fully functional waterwheel that was the main source of power for their milling machine. All the ovens were wood fired. It's as if nothing changed over the last 700 plus years. Upon entering we saw the prep and work areas but all was quiet like they just finished baking. Definitely small batches compared to more commercial bakeries. Since we visited in the morning, we ordered their super soft and sweet brioche rolls and the cinnamon raisin buns. Our server pulled them fresh off the racks instead so they were both warm and heavenly in smells. They were delicious. We so wanted to come back again after our first visit but we just ran out of time. Will definitely be our priority during a return visit to Salzburg.

There's actually more seating behind the bar if you go around. The menu is extensive from breakfast foods to decadent desserts! I came here mainly for the nockerl and it takes 30 minutes to prepare. I also ordered an americano and apple strudel. Our waitress, Alexandra, was very nice and attentive. She had to bring another table for the presentation! She also made sure I had time to photography the nockerl. It did not disappoint! It was fluffy and I love the berry cream and the ice cream that came with! It was just the perfect amount of sweetness and definitely worth a try! The apple strudel was bathed in vanilla cream (you can also get it with ice cream). It was flaky and warm. I love the cream it came in! Everything was fabulous! Many people came in to order desserts from the display! Thank you for a lovely breakfast. I enjoyed sitting there relaxing while enjoying the delicious foods!

Looks like most of the locals get cappuccinos, hard boiled eggs & some kind of bread with cold cuts & some veggies. I got the semilina porridge (Grieß-Porridge) which is equivalent to what Americans might call 'Cream of Wheat'. It came with fresh jam & was very tasty. I also ordered the Ham, cheese and salami with bread side (Schinken, Käse, Salami) and an iced latte. All were yummy. I wish I had more time to go back there to try some of their desserts.. they looked yummy!

The apple streudel was my favorite; it was like eating a handheld apple pie of happiness. The cheese Danish was also good, with a refreshing lemon flavor. My least favorite was the Nutella croissant as it seemed like someone just quickly slapped some Nutella on an old croissant; it did not taste fresh (1 star off). Not much English is spoken here, so don't be afraid to point at and purchase some items that you may not completely know. You may be rewarded by your curiosity!

Though the address says it is on Getreidegasse, it is located down an alleyway off it. It is a longtime Salzburg confectionery as it was founded in 1880. The shop has a delectable selection of sweet treats, including pastries, cakes (individual and slices) and chocolates. They also serve coffee drinks and have a good amount of seating if you are dining in. I loved this place so much that I visited it twice in one day for breakfast and an evening dessert. Their hazelnut pastry is something I still crave and think about. And make sure to try their sacher torte if you love chocolate cakes. It is clear why this business has stood the test of time. The quality of their products and the service here is great.

We were in Salzburg train station and I wanted to buy some breads to bring on the train with us. At first, I went to Anker but they took so long to assist us and boy! That was a blessing! Because that led me to Le Crobag. We got chocolate croissants, regular croissants, a cinnamon roll and sugar raised doughnut. I wish I tasted it right after we got out because until now, I am still pulling my hair as to why I only bought 1 doughnut! OMG! By far, in my experience of eating doughnuts, Le Crobags is the BEST ONE! I wish I have every adjective I can describe this doughnut. Never have I tasted such kind! Extremely soft.. yes, soft! Fluffy, light, even it didn't have any fillings, yet you taste something that's magical. I think I devoured that thing in less than a minute. I shared a couple of bites with my family coz i can't stop bragging about it. I wish someone would be nice enough to bring me a dozen from Austria all the way to the US! Now their croissant is another amazing product. Flakey and buttery! You would not want to put any fillings on it because in itself, it's to die for! Literally! I got Anker doughnut holes since that was the only thing they had for doughnuts and their regular croissants at the Vienna main train station.. but it has nothing compared to Le Crobags. So don't waste your time. I am just being honest, trying to save you guys $$ by leading you to the best bread bakery in Europe! So, if you haven't tried them.. go fall in line now!

Crobag is a French bakery chain with (franchise?) locations across Germany, Austria, Switzerland (and perhaps other countries). I would expect their business model is to have locations in train stations, for I've seen them in quite a few ones. If you're wondering about the name of the bakery chain, it's easy to guess that's would one comes up with if one smashes together a croissant and a baguette. Simple. Effective. Will remind you that this place is focused around breakfast pastries and sandwiches (though I also saw salads). I wouldn't normally review a chain, but in this particular franchise at least, I was quite impressed with their quality. What sold me on them was that they were baking fresh batches of croissant on premises after 7 pm in the evening (probably get the dough delivered from HQ and bake it on location). That really won me over, and while I had no intent on purchasing anything here initially, I stopped and got a marzipan croissant here, for the novelty factor, and quite liked it. (3.5 stars)
