Horrible Service ( no greeting as I walked in, death stare as I ordered and no thank you upon leaving)! They have young girls working in the front that need customer service training. In addition , the cake was bland (understand that German cake has low sugar, which I appreciate and aware) but this cake was bland and tasted like wax! No flavor with the exception of the filling ... very disappointing! Ordered for my daughter's 15th birthday, she didn't even have a full slice! Threw in the trash, what a waste of money. Never again!!! read more

Was extremely disappointed. The pastries tasted like something you would've gotten at a grocery store I bought a cookie that was extremely thin and oozed grease on the bag. I want up not giving it to my grandson. read more

Great service and friendly people! I came here last second trying to find a Rosca de Reyes, unfortunately they were all sold out, but they were willing to keep the shop open for an extra hour to finish baking some extra ones for us procrastinators. Unfortunately I was on a tight schedule so I didn't accept the generous offer. I instead got a treat to go and it looks amazing!! Side note, I went to a small birthday gathering a few days back and they had bought a cheesecake from this bakery as the birthday cake. It was absolutely delicious and a must have. The filling was light like a mousse yet still firm, not at all as dense as I'm used to (but just as delicious). I highly recommend the cheesecake if you like light fluffy desserts. read more

Called ahead to place my order instead of placing it online because I had questions about a couple of items. My call was quickly answered by a cheerful lady (no automated service, a real live person) who answered all of my questions and told me that she would box up my order and have it ready in 15 minutes. I was able to park in the front and pay for my order without delay. The pastries, bread and cake were all delicious! read more

When you walk in, it's a humble looking bakery with a quaint dining area. It feels like you're visiting someone's family dining area. Very cool. We were greeted as soon as we walked in. Service was great. Food was just ok. Tiramisu and eclairs tasted like they were frozen and not made in house. I had a pretzel which did taste homemade, but it was almost stale. I had a bratwurst and the bread was phenomenal; soft, fresh and delicious. The brat not so much. Not sure if it was microwaved, but it was not impressive and not very flavorful. I'd come back to give some of their other baked goods a try. I will say I've had their homemade cake and it was delicious. Easily one of the best cakes I've ever had, but I don't think everything on their menu gets equal love and attention. read more

The decoratied cookies are delicious but the young ladies behind the counter are rude and very Unprofessional. I usually buy a large amount of cookies but today I was told there was a limit. First time I've ever been told that. This was very upsetting. This is a single family owned and operated business. Not Dunkin' Donuts. Not Starbucks. There isn't a line formed outside the door. I'm almost 90% positive they won't be selling out today. There were plenty of cookies. It's 330pm, they close in a few hours. You would think they would want the revenue. Guess not, sorry Marina. Unfortunately they are the face of Marina's. They are first encounter, first impression. These interactions formulate your customer's opinion- that can leave a lasting impression and later impact your business. I will take my business to Greggerson's Cake Cottage across the street. Their cupcakes are AMAZING!!!!!!! Greggerson's Cake Cottage 2050 Trawood Dr. #9 El Paso, TX. 79935 915-591-5690 read more

I love Marinas! It's right around the corner from our house so we're there probably once a month. It's a quaint little bakery. Good food. Unfortunately the last three times I've been in I've been helped by a young girl with pink hair and a rotten attitude. Her job is to take a pair of tongs and place cookies in a box, but you'd think she was being splattered with battery acid. Last time I was there a man was looking for a cake he ordered and she rolled her eyes at management (I presume) when he let her know the order had been hung on the side of the fridge. Just uncalled for. And I'm not a princess, but she's rotten enough that I'll drive in the opposite direction to get baked goods from the new bakery by Peking Garden. I'm reviewing them next--phenomenal service there. read more

Marina's German Bakery is a classic in El Paso. They've been around since 1956. If that isn't a reputable small business, then I don't know what is. This is my go-to spot for special occasions. The other day, I came to buy some cookies for my grandfather because he loves sweets. Their cookies are always fresh and taste great! I like that the majority of them aren't overly sweet. My grandfather was celebrating his 85th birthday. That is a special occasion in my book! My mom also likes their cookies and cakes. She's celebrating a birthday in a couple of weeks. I'll probably buy her a cake from here if I don't bake it. I like to bake occasionally. I have yet to try their pretzels or bread. Their pretzels were on sale the day I went but I wasn't in the mood for one. I stuck with the cookies. Oh yeah, I also bought some macarons for me and my son. Kids like these a lot for some reason. I think the bright colors probably entice them. I gave my son the chocolate one and I had a strawberry one. Their macarons are bite size but they're really tasty. I enjoyed their chocolate sandwich cookie a lot as well. The great thing about their cookies is that they still taste good after a few days! The cookies are not overpriced either. Most of them are under a dollar. A lot of them were .80 each. I ended up spending $18. Not bad! I'll keep coming here. read more

Marina's is such a nice change of pace from all the typical bakeries in El Paso. It really is an authentic German bakery with brotchen, baguettes, cakes (if you've never had a German cake, don't expect a Betty Crocker cake...think whipped, light and not too sweet), and pastries. The Rum balls are by far my favorite, the flavor isn't too much chocolate or too much Rum -it's perfect. It's quaint (not in the nicest of shopping plazas, but not a bad neighborhood) like a German bakery should be. There are about 3 or 4 tables inside if you'd like to dine-in, which I love doing. If whether permits, I recommend eating outside on the patio, it's airy and shaded so even in the summer you don't feel the EPT heat. Normally I wouldn't give a simple bakery 5 stars, but Marina's is so authentic it is a must for everyone in El Paso and everyone passing through. read more

Came here due to the great reviews. I did enjoy my visit and some of the pastries. My favorite one was the cookie filled with raspberries, it was delicious as it was not overly sweet. Did not care for the macaroons. The tiramisu was good and the cake with the pineapple filling was my second favorite. We didn't care for the double chocolate. read more

It's so easy to get caught up with the new and trendy, that it is simple to forget the local bakeries that have been around for a long time. Marina's is amazing, in their one unique way. They have a large variety of pastries and breads. From French bread to Pretzels and everything savory in between. I haven't had anything there that I haven't liked. You can buy small pastries or a whole cake. It's very versatile when it comes to what they offer. I like that. The prices are very good. You can walk out with a loaf of bread, a box full of pastries, and pretzels just for a little over $20. Of course, that depends on what you choose. Definitively worth the try if you haven't been here yet. Update review on the pretzels: per my husband, they were stale pretzels. Shame. read more

Sweet baby sweet tooth this place hits the spot! I've visited this bakery 3 times within the last month. Aesthetic Appeal & Atmosphere: The atmosphere is that of a nice German bakery. All their delectable baked good options are on display behind glass for you to choose from. Their bread loaves are on a shelf right behind the glass case. Marina's features indoor and outdoor seating on a cozy patio. They do have limited seating indoors. Service: Their staff is from Germany so its authentic! All the staff were very friendly and polite. The wait to receive my food was minimal. Meal Quality: I ordered their bratwurst with potato salad for one lunch. On the second visit I ordered their strawberry mouse cake and a loaf of bread which I enjoyed the next two days with soup at my home. On the third visit I ordered a great variety of cookies. Everything was wonderful! Aesthetic Appeal & Atmosphere: 4 of 5 Service: 5 of 5 Meal & Drinks Quality: 5 of 5 read more

I always love this place, great pastries. They have gotten so expensive over the past few years.

I ordered a cake, when I show up to pick it up, they had the wrong cake, they didn't write down the message the person who took the order asked me to tell her. The cake I ordered was pink and when she asked me, I told her white lettering. When I show up the cake was white and no the paper they wrote the order didn't have the message it only Said I wanted white lettering. I even asked the person who was there, does that make sense, white lettering on a white cake. I always buy my birthday cakes here, but not anymore, service has gone down read more

We were craving something sweet, and found this place. It's a Germany style bakery with cute interiors. I like the chairs, decoration and the not-too-sweet pastry selections. You can take a break from a busy day by sitting down there, enjoy one or two pastries with a cup of tea. read more

I always loved going into the bakery when I was stationed in Germany. The smell of freshly baked goods was always welcome on a Saturday morning. Marina's is no different. Someone from my family is there every Saturday morning to get what we need. They have both large (normal) and small brötchen. However, if you want the small, you'd better get there early. They are usually out by noon. Of course they offer a variety of German breads, cookies, pretzels, and cakes. My favorite cake is the Black Forest cake. Marina's excels here! You can call in an order which is very handy if you cannot get their early. Call and tell them what you want and they will hold it for you. They have a small area to eat and an outdoor area when it is warmer. While it is not the same atmosphere as when you are sitting outside watching people walk by, it does give you a nice place to sit and enjoy a nice pastry and coffee or tea. All in all, a great place to go for good German baked goods. See you on Saturday!! read more

We were in town visiting my mom. We wanted to buy some German pastries and this place offers that and more. We were greeted upon entering, looked at the options of baked treats, and ordered. Variety: bullseye cookies, almond horns, rolade, cheese danishes, pudding schturkchen, bears claws, and so much more. This place has the most German bakery options out of all the bakeries in ELP. Extremely friendly, authentic, and great prices. Will definitely return every time we're in town. read more

Try the Viennes cake! So good. This place is a true German bakery. They have a large variety of items including cakes, baked goods, homemade breads, pastries, and more. I've been here a few times and I always get the same thing, but I've recently branched out and tried some of their other items and everything there is delicious. It's definitely worth a try, especially in a town where there are so few bakeries that aren't Mexican bakeries. It's just a really nice change of pace from the norm. read more

It's always exciting to try new bakeries . Especially a German inspired recipes , I love their coffee flavored cake roll . it's a little pricey as comparison to other bakeries , some of their food is worth it . However all the time I've order their small cookie bites or they're pecan fingers they're always hard and taste old . I feel like they don't check if their cookies have been there for too long and still try to sell them anyway . Which is bad for business . read more

Get there early or miss out. They sell out quickly! Only drawback: the coffee wasnt so good, guess you cant have it all..lol! Everything else makes up for the coffee and then some. Prices are decent. read more

So... on 14 March we made a purchase of brotchen, kaiser rolls, pastries and brats that came to $37... when we got home we discovered the brotchen and kaiser roll were rock hard... which kind of spoiled our bratwurst dinner! I took the rolls back today, 15 March at noon and stated our disappointment. The woman at the counter gave me a skeptical look and stated that if we bought them yesterday then of course they would be hard today. I told her again that they were hard when we got home yesterday (but really... does anyone in the US run to the bakery for brotchen in the morning so you would expect that they would be soft the next day). She continued to be skeptical so I grabbed the bag of possibly $3 of bread out of a $37 purchase and said that's ok... we just won't shop here anymore. I haven't seen Marina's products in the commissary lately... could there be a reason why? read more

The moment I stepped into the German Bakery (Bäckerei in German), it smelled like home. It's so nice to have a little piece of Germany on the eastside of town and I felt like I was at home, with all those sweets and German varieties of breads and rolls. Some elderly women had their coffee date there, just like home when Grannies meet at heir local bakery, and it smelled like cake and coffe. I ordered a lot of pastries, cookies and German brezeln, and I have to say that I was content. It's not as good as back home, but regarding that they have to work with American ingredients and that flour is quite different here, I'm just happy I got a taste of home. I came back for a second time and got some other sweets... The chocolate croissant is really good and the double cookies with marmalade filling are delicious. read more

I've ordered a few cakes from here, and they're always moist and delicious. Not overly sweet, which I like. Favorite is the Viennese (?) With the chocolate and vanilla cake layers with pineapple filling. Their designs are simple - this isn't a fancy place, so don't expect very creative designs on the cake or anything Their baked goods are ok - some were drier than I would have liked. My husband asked if they would discount their pastries (he came in when they were closing at 6pm), and they said no. I've been to many bakeries that will sell their goods at a lower price so that they have fresh pastries to sell the next day...which makes me wonder how long they keep their pastries around. read more
