Known in Germany for a collection of cookbooks, it is inside Schweizer Strasse 54a that guests can…read morefind the work of Chef Cathérine Jamin, her eponymous Pastry Shop in Sachsenhausen offering a variety of Cakes and Candies that set a high standard for taste as well as presentation. In fact a fourth generation Baker, great-grandfather Georg having originally opened shop in 1907 before moving to the current location, those interested in Konditorei & Confiserie Jamin's goods will find the Café open Monday through Saturday from 10h00, a lack of Breads or Viennoiserie placing them in a different category than nearby competition including the likes of Huck and Eifler. Long and narrow in terms of size, Pralines plus packaged Confections up front and Cakes lining a case in back, it is largely on German tradition that Cathérine's current collection is focused, 3-5€ each first yielding a dense slice of Spice Cake punctuated by Sour Cherries that serves equally good as Dessert as it would for Breakfast alongside a cup of Coffee. Allowing next for Austrian influence, genrous wedges of Sacher Torte for just 4.10€ dazzling with reflective Milk Chocolate Ganache and Apricot Jam brightening a Dark Chocolate Sponge, it seemed only right to finish with Jamin's take on Black Forest Cake, the individual rounds decorated in Cocoa shavings potentially Frankfurt's best rendition thanks to boozy Fruit that celebrates the Kirsch part of Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte.

Very disappointing experience. I ordered a strawberry shortcake, but instead of fresh strawberries…read moreit was decorated with unattractive chocolate images, even though other strawberry shortcakes had real strawberries. The disclaimer that the cake may differ from the photo does not justify replacing fresh fruit with a cheaper alternative. Fresh strawberries are more expensive and feel more premium -- otherwise I could have just bought a frozen cake. The writing on the cake was sloppy and uneven. On top of that, the bottom of the cake box was dirty, and I ended up getting chocolate on my trench coat while carrying it. Poor quality, poor attention to detail, and careless packaging.

A very good bakery with good service and many interesting cakes and pies on offer. In particular,…read morethe bakery features Rainbow Cake! It's possibly the only place around for this special cake. It was delicious with soft, moist cake and creamy cream cheese icing. There are some tables inside to eat there or it's possible to take away. Highly recommended!
