Anytime I'm passing by this bakery I have to stop in and get a few of these quark balls and a cappuccino...absolutely love it I haven't had a chance to try their other stuff yet but will be back too read more

During my lunch break, my co-worker suggested that I stop by the bakery and pickup a cheesecake since I been constantly saying that I wanted a cheesecake all week long. So I decided to try out their cheesecake. I wanted to order a whole pie but the girl behind the counter told me I would have to come pick it up later because they had to bake it. That wasn't a problem so I asked how much and she told me $40.00 for either 6 or 8 inch pie ( I forget exactly the size but I know it was 6 or 8)!!!! I definitely didn't want to spend that much money on a cheesecake. So, I opted for two single slices of premium cheesecakes. The minute I took a bite, my first thought was, " Thank God I didn't buy a whole pie'!! The cheesecake tasted very bland and it didn't taste like a cheesecake. In addition, the slices were $4.89 each. It was definitely not worth it! read more

Had their Champion Roll - figured if you are what you eat, I could use the luck. It was a multigrain roll with sesame and other seeds on top. I thought it was going to be stale but it tasted great! I ate the whole thing without putting any thing on or in it. I also tried their almond roll, which was a pastry, and although I'm not a fan with fillings, it was really good - not to overwhelming on the goo. Didn't have any trouble with service, but went on a Thursday night and the 2 gentlemen behind the counter seems to know what all the items were. read more

OMG People, this place makes Authentic German Pastries. The lady told me they use a special cheese in the cheese pastries, and they are the only ones in the USA that use that special cheese from Germany. I tried it and immediately became 5 years old in my Grandmas kitchen (I'm in my 40's) You will think your in Germany!!!!!! I'm 100% German too! There's a German bakery near my house (lol) and I won't think twice to drive over 50 miles to go here. One hour out of my way is so worth it!! 10 STARS!!! read more

Come on! A German styled bakery? That is awesome! I have not tried all the strudels yet but I am a HUGE fan of the chocolate pear strudel. It is the best strudel I have ever had in my life! I don't think the service is slow but I have only been here for a couple of times... The staff is very helpful the decor is nice. (reminds me of the bratwurst stands in Frankfurt). :) The only thing... for aesthetic reasons, they should really put more loafs of breads on the racks next to the window. read more

Overpriced, mediocre cake. We bought 3 pieces of cake, 2 of which where just small fruit bars, only one was a slice from a layer / cream cake. They charges us 18 dollars. The fruit bars were dry and not very tasty on top of that. read more

Owner was rude when I asked a simple question his reply was this is a German bakery maybe that's what he didn't have any customers ‍

Very good service and so Nice with european pastries and Coffee. It took like 5 min to get a Coffee but worth it.

stopped by last night for some dessert. The owner/manager recommended a chocolate cake with an apricot filling. Apparently, it's a popular German dessert. I've never heard of it, but we ordered it anyway. It was decent. Not too much apricot, just a thin layer in the chocolate. We ate it. We did see some thumbprints on the part of the frosting, which kind of bothered me. Must have gotten there when the server pulled slice out of the fridge. We sucessfully dissected it from the rest of the cake and kept eating. No big deal, but they should really be more carfeul! read more

Walk away if you're not prepared to gain some serious weight from here. I'm not kidding. I had to join a gym to offset the amount of pastries I have from the Old German Bakery. The owner (I unfortunately don't know his name) once encouraged me to "try everything". I laughed him off but over the weeks and months found myself doing exactly what he said. I'll list all of the "gotta have it" items that I strongly recommend: pear and chocolate strudel, plumb crumb, sweet pretzel, quark balls, apple strudel, butter pretzel. Try the egg sandwich if you come here in the morning. Sliced hard boiled eggs, sliced tomato, mayo, pickles, salt and pepper on a hard roll. Interesting and different and DELICIOUS. read more

The best coffee and food I have ever had. Drove from Brooklyn, New York to buy their Stollen. The absolute best! Will be back. Nicest owner. read more

Great desserts, at par with NYC and a very friendly staff.

Absolutely love this place! The owner told us all dishes and cups were imported from Germany, so as the ingredients. Everything was made at the store. We have been to this place a several times and tried different items each time. They were never disappointed us. read more

Nice lil spot on Washington St..a lot of people were getting coffee here..we got the Raspberry Quark Basket..apparently Quark is some kinda German cheese, we also got their sunflower seed bread and dinner rolls to go..everything we got here was very fresh and tasty. The pricing here is on the higher side but worth it! read more

I stopped by this bakery with my husband after eating some lunch nearby. I have a horrible sweet tooth! ;) I stepped in, looked in the counter and knew exactly what I wanted! I had a slice of the German chocolate cake with a small decaf latte. The cake tasted as amazing as it looked! It wasn't overly sweet and tasted like real cocoa. The latte was perfect as well. Very friendly service. Highly recommended. I will be back! read more

A good friend of mine and I were in Hoboken for brunch and afterwards we decided to try something different. We came to his place simple because it had really great yelp review. The server was very friendly. We had green tea and some cake. Both of us were very happy. Totally a must try read more

This place has been a favorite since it opened. Always an interesting mix of breads and pastries. Great place to stop for a post dinner treat. read more

Love love love everything about this gorgeous spot in Hoboken. Their breads are the most healthy and delicious breads that I ever found in Hoboken. Pastries always fresh and service is great. I am stopping by at least once a week for coffee, cookies and bread! read more

Very lovely bakery, I would say the best in Hoboken (I havent tried Cake Boss and looking at the line outside their door, I doubt I ever will try them). I'm giving them 4 stars because I'm really annoyed that they don't have the prices and names/descriptions of the goodies up. I hate to keep asking them what's in this and how much is that. Or to point out that "give me this thing over there, no not this, the one over there etc". Yummmm, wish I could be there right now! read more

The pastries are delicious (especially the pear/chocolate one), that can't be denied. I deducted one star because the owner is arrogant and I probably won't be coming back because his attitude during a friendly chat got very bizarre. read more

Having lived in Germany, I miss the great baked goods I used to grab on my way to classes from the local bakery. This hits the mark pretty closely, in my opinion, to many of the delicious treats I used to get. I'm only in town for an overnight business trip, but I had to hit it up again this morning for a Brotchen and to pick up a Pumpkin seed Bread to take home with me. The marble cake tasted just like my host mom cooked it. Bravo- very delicious!!! read more

I walked by a few times after my 15-mile long training run from the other state, today I had my Thanksgiving balloon training nearby so I decided to check it out before going to Citi Field for my MLB All-Star Game info session (I'm a busy person.) I love German food! As I walked in I saw a lot of interesting pastries and cakes and after I scanned through the counter I decided to go with an Almond Roll and of course a cup of coffee! Everything looked pretty, though the wait of the coffee was a little long since they were making it from the espresso machine European style. I dined in so they put everything on *a real plate* and the coffee in *a ceramic mug*. The Almond Roll was tasty with a lot of flavor in it, and the coffee was perfect with crema on top. Love real coffee, which bought back my experience in Europe. There was no need to put cream or sugar in it. The bakery is run by a family I don't think they are German but that doesn't matter. The owner's daughter Arsima is cute, she is 3-1/2 years old and she likes to draw. They put up a lot of her drawings on the wall behind the counter. The bakery shop is clean but the decor is kind of bland. A lot of people came in today and bought cakes I think I will stop by again and try those so I can update this review. Overall, I like this place in HoBo. read more

This place is a great stop in hoboken for coffee and delicious pastries! The service is excellent and very friendly! Always willing to give suggestions and tell you about each pastry! read more

Old German Bakery - Quark Turnover! - Bakeries Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

The best bread in the area. That's how it should be baked. It's heavy and delicious, can last for a week on the countertop. The pastries are also great, I go there all the time to buy smth for my friends Although I didn't really enjoy the coffee, it's rather straightforward and bitter. read more

These are the best pastries I have ever had in my whole life! Cherry strudel was sublime! Nutella croissant is to die for.

I went there with my parents. We order a pastry each and two of them were ok, but mine was dry and definitely not fresh from the day. I asked for a glass of water and my dad had to stand up at some point and ask at the bar for that glass again because I never got it. He then paid our order and came back. We stayed there for a while, and when we were leaving, the lady behind the counter said "Excuse me, can you pay me?". It was really embarrassing. We had already paid and we had to wait for her to double check in the computer that it was true. There were only 3 more tables with people at the café, was it that difficult to keep track? Definitely will not go back. read more

Everything was fresh. Delicious and the coffee was good. Really good customer service. The employees were really nice and polite. Will come back read more

Still the best spot in Hoboken for a coffee and cake. All their pastries are baked fresh. Been to Germany many times and I'm hard pressed to find a place as good over there read more

Cakes are perfect for me a not-too-sweet lover. The owner is super nice. I got two cakes one is honey almond cake the other is chocolate. Loved both and would definitely come back again!! read more

Maybe even a 5. When I went in during my lunch hour I was given a walk through on what each pastry was and what was missing. Told me his favorites which was the chocolate and vanilla filled pastry and quark. He was very nice and helpful. I appreciate that he took the time to tell me about everything since it was my first visit. I went home with a box full of pastries. I got the chocolate and pear pastry. Brought it home to my guy and he said "very tasty" and kept eating high praise from a discerning palate. I had to take it away so he would have room for the other pastries I got. And so I could have another bite. Very nice, the chocolate was great not too sweet. A Light crunchy and flaky crust, had to stop myself from finishing it. Definitely my favorite. The chocolate vanilla filled pastry which was the German's favorite had nice flavors but the pasty was a bit denser then I want. We decided it was a "manly man"s pastry", which makes me like it more. The Quark's were good not quiet as addictive as he said but very yummy and you would eat them when in front of you but I'm not diving into the bag for more. Maybe i just want to express my free will once told they are addictive. I also got two cakes; the chocolate with cherry on top and the mixed berry. Mixed berry is nice, light and good textures. The chocolate with cherries, well I wasn't taken with the cherries but I loved the flavors and textural weirdness of the chocolate cake. read more

Skip the long lines at Carlos and try this place, it is fantastic! The quark balls, which I had never tried before, were absolutely delicious, as was the pear and chocolate strudel I bought on my first trip. That combination though... worth the extra cardio! On my second I got a chocolate and vanilla crescent but they were out of quark balls! I did get there late, though, so I'd recommend trying to get there as early as possible: they sell out! Add to that the amazing service I get every time I walk in; the man behind the counter is very honest and accommodating, full of information and very friendly. Great service paired with great food means they have a new repeat customer. Check them out! read more

This place is special: charming, friendly, equally a place to sip your tea or to chatter with friends over coffee and pastries. And oh, the pastries. Everything from the cakes to cookies and croissants is subtly sweet, just enough to be wonderful. The first time I walked in on a snowy day last year, I asked the owner for a recommendation that wasn't overly sweet. He laughed and said it must be my first time there before leaning to a delicious slice of chocolate and cherry cake. I've come back for the hospitality and the sweets ever since. read more

This place is great! Coffee was great, our cake was delicious and the service is super friendly. If I'm ever in the area again I would definitely come back. read more

The pastries here are not only delicious but also immaculately made and beautiful to look at. But their coffee is every bit as good, and to my personal taste it's the best coffee I've had at anywhere in New Jersey (other than in the homes of coffee fanatics). I only wish this place was nearer to where I live. read more
