    First off, I love seeing a business that has been around for a very long time 1868 is a crazy long time for a bakery of all things. However while the history is great and the selection is also great, I did not enjoy what I had. It could have been an off day, but ai had a blueberry kolache and it barely had flavor. I will give this another try next time I am in town because it does look like a staple of the community.

    Well they have lots of pretty looking treats! Everything definitely had some love put into and they did have quite a selection. But, the treats were not to great. We tried a fruit kolache and it was bland and dry. Maybe we picked a bad choice on an off day but I wanted to like the place. The staff was very kind and the inside looked very nice. May want to try it again in the future.

    This is our second time to visit the cute Naegelin's Bakery. In historic downtown New Braunfels with its own parking lot which is super convenient. We love to buy the tradition Springerle cookies because we never see them for sale anywhere, and they are quite a process to bake on your own. They have a great variety of bakery items to try, including donuts if more unusual baked goods aren't your thing. Definitely a fun place to stop in when visiting New Braunfels.

    I came here on a Wednesday morning. Only one person in line in front of me so no long wait. I got six donuts and the woman behind the counter was extremely kind. The inside is cute, no seating but ver nostalgic. The man in front of me in line recommended I try the pastry tart next time which I will. The donuts were better than Shipleys by far, but not the best donuts I have ever had.

    Although we had just finished a huge meal at the Alpine Haus German restaurant down the street, there's always room for dessert, right? Had to have some kolaches and they were really good! Also tried a few other pastries which were ok. My very favorite was the Pfeffernüsse - delicious and SO fresh. I had to get a bag to take with me. Enjoyed sitting at the little tables outside. The young ladies working were very friendly & accommodating.

    I have been buying and ordering/shipping gingerbread from Naegelins for years! They have THE BEST gingerbread I have ever had! It is the only place you should ever get your gingerbread from. Don't even bother making it yourself. Just get it from here. It is so soft and delicious. I don't even know how they make it so perfect! All their pastries and bread are perfection! Always stop here when visiting New Braunfels! Order your holiday stuff early, there is a long line!!

    Nice little store with big taste. I was quickly served an entire cherry strudel (about $50.00) to bring to Thanksgiving. Ambiance included a small outdoor cafe

    Yes yes, oldest bakery in Texas since 1868. Is it actually good though? Well, yes I certainly think so. Are they the best baked goods I've ever had? No, but it was still good! We got some savory and sweet items on our stop here. I'm more of a savory guy so I really enjoyed the kolaches, especially the bratwurst and jalapeno sausage. We also got one of the sweet rolls and tea ring coffee cake. Both were a bit more sweet for my liking. Nonetheless, they were still good. Other than that, we had good service from one of the gentlemen behind the counter. Would I come back again? Maybe if I was bringing other people. I mean it's the fact that this is the oldest bakery in Texas that brought me here in the beginning, but I think there's plenty of other local businesses in New Braunfels that I would want to check out before making Naegelin's a must-go-to.

    Being a tourist for a day in New Braunfels, our first stop was one of the oldest bakeries in Texas... Nargelin's! We were able to park right up front, walked in, and our eyes were immediately drawn to all the scrumptious goodies behind the display counters on the left and the packaged goodies on shelves towards the right). We waited in a small line ( I understand it can get pretty busy), and mentally made a list of what we wanted to order. What made Naegelin famous is their apple strudel, so no doubt we ordered it...in addition to their sausage kolache, bear claw, and strawberry kolache. Absolutely loved the apple strudel! Fresh chunks of apples, a bit of cherry for color, and a hint of coconut. These small additions made this strudel stand out from the usual run of the mill. The bear claw was not my fave and not what I had envisioned. Presentation and taste was more along the lines of a pop tart. Besides apple strudels, they sell a variety of breads, doughnuts, cupcakes, cookies, pies, macaroons, and kolaches. Service was quick, and the ladies behind the counter were sweet.

There are many options to choose from, but decided to go to the "Sweet Bites by Lizzie". Just to let you know, you can't go wrong with this place. The customer cakes are outstandingly delicious and created with heart. Besides the wonderful cake I got a s'mores cookie and a carrot cake. The cookie was great the flavors were tremendous, if you go I recommend this one. The carrot cake was equally delicious and great with a cup of coffee. If you are looking for a dessert place that offers custom offerings this is the place to go to.

Furthermore, the final cake looked absolutely nothing like the photos Communication was incredibly disorganized. The day before the wedding, she called to ask if I had the flowers for the cake, even though I had already paid her to provide them. She also called to ask if we needed delivery, which was also already paid for in advance. When I addressed these issues, she was very rude and tried to blame the mistakes on graduation week--which is completely unacceptable given that I booked and paid well in advance. I would not recommend this business to anyone

    I have reached a point in life where I'm downright offended when I spend good money on mediocre…read moresweets. If I'm handing over my hard-earned dollars, I expect happiness. I expect joy. I expect a little dance from my tastebuds. And thankfully, that's exactly what I found at Art House Bakery. The first thing that struck me wasn't the cake--it was the woman behind the counter. I'm not sure if she was the owner or not, but she was an absolute delight. The kind of person who makes you feel genuinely welcome the second you walk through the door. Not customer-service nice. Truly happy-you're-here nice. While perusing the sweet treats, I noticed pa filled with assorted cake slices. She explained that they were made up of cakes that might not have been perfectly level, didn't quite meet their decorating standards, or were a day old. Friends... These containers were $5. FIVE. DOLLARS. Naturally, I bought two because I possess both common sense and a sweet tooth. One container had two vanilla slices and a chocolate slice. The other had vanilla and red velvet. I made it all the way to my car before my self-control failed me and I took a bite. YUM. The cake was moist, flavorful, and had that unmistakable made-from-scratch quality that separates good bakeries from grocery store cake pretending to be special. What impressed me even more was what happened afterward. I shared some with one of my daughters the next day, and by then the cake was at least three days old. It was still delicious. And that speaks volumes. Any bakery can impress you with a cake that came out of the oven six hours ago. A truly talented bakery produces cakes that maintain their texture, flavor, and integrity days later. Eventually the whole family sampled pieces, and every single person agreed: this place is fantastic. Between the warm welcome, the incredible value, and cake that made me question whether I should have purchased a third container, Art House Bakery absolutely won me over. I'm thrilled to know there's a spot in New Braunfels ready to handle my sweet tooth whenever the need arises. And if Marie Antoinette would have said, "Let them eat cake," and meant Art House Bakery, it might have ben forgivable.

    There's something divine going on at this place! They have mastered cake! I never buy cake from…read moretaco places. But this cinnamon vanilla cake in the display looked different! So I got a piece to go. It was everything a cake should be - moist and flavorful and soft buttery goodness in every bite! I didn't taste any chemicals like I do in store-bought or box cakes. This tasted like granny's kitchen from above. It makes you want to sing! I had to wait for the taco place to be open again to call them to place an order. I was working so I talked my mom into going and offered to buy her taco if she went and picked up one for me too. She didn't need to know I just wanted cake. I called and paid over the phone. They ran out of the cinnamon vanilla so I had to settle for the red velvet. I don't really like red velvet but thought if it is the same person that made the cinnamon vanilla, then I'm sure my taste buds would approve. My mouth was salivating and ready for it. Well ... I have nothing to report because they forgot to put my slice of cake in the bag!!! I know dietary warfare when I see it! I couldn't leave work so the lady gave me a refund. My obvious question was, when will you have more? She didn't know. Huh?? She felt bad so she graciously gave me the name of the bakery that provides them with cake. A bakery? And it's local??? Well that was my next call and I got the kindest lady named Carolyn over the phone. She kindly listened to my sob story and I felt like I made a friend. I ended up pre-ordering a vegan cake for my mom's birthday. My mom's not able to eat most desserts so I was grateful that they had a dark chocolate cake to offer. I absolutely loved meeting Carolyn in person. She was as fun and sweet as the homemade icing they make. It was incredible! My mom loved it. You would never know it was vegan. In the mean time, I still was waiting for the cinnamon vanilla that was unforgettable. So the following week I ordered a whole cake for Thanksgiving. So glad I had a reason to order a whole cinnamon vanilla cake and that I had people to share it with. I might have eaten the whole thing. Guys, it's THAT good!! And it was a hit!! I should have had their business cards because everyone wanted to know where this bakery was. Good thing I didn't fib and say that I baked it. Hahaha! JK! But it was just like I remembered it. Like heaven and rainbows in your mouth. I decided that this place will one day be my goto for a wedding cake! They have such a cute little shop that also offers delicious cookies and cupcakes and yummy truffles ... What a hidden treasure! Unfortunate things happen in life for a reason. If the lady hadn't forgotten my cake, I may have never discovered this special place. They are my people now.

Thanks to our local social media, I found Candi! Sent a text message and got an almost immediate response. I had a picture of what my daughter wanted and sent it to Candi. Her immediate response that she can do that was heartening. Then, based on my one experience in specialty cake ordering for my grandaughter's Sweet 16, I braced for the cost. What a pleasant surprise when I was quoted a very reasonable price with availability within our 2-week window. She even delivered it 80 miles for a nominal fee. She arrived on time, on a Saturday afternoon. Everyone in attendance raved about the appearance, presentation of the cake, and the accompanying cupcakes. Upon the cutting and serving of the cake, both Candi and I were praised, she for her skills and me for being smart enough to engage her. I graciously accepted our compliments although my family members knew it was luck rather than intelligence. The cake was exactly what my daughter selected and pictured. Per my daughter's request, Candi provided a vanilla cake with almond buttercream icing, raspberry fruit compote filling, and vanilla cupcake with white chocolate ganache and fruit compote filling. I, and all of those in attendance would give Candi a glowing recommendation and future business.
