We picked our breakfast items & coffees, then bought more items to stuff in our pockets/bags for later. Pocket bread, as we so lovingly referred to it, was second breakfast & lunch. A glorious stop. The coffee was thick, creamy, and silky smooth. The quiche sang on the tastebuds. Light, fltaky-tender croissants & moist, savory scones - absolutely divine.

It's nicely designed and actually looks like they have a lot of space and not that many products but on closer inspection you can be treated to a veritable bevy of delicious baked goods. Lots of lovely looking cakes and a nice selection of bread - all reasonably priced. 2 things would improve this place: 1. sell tea/coffee 2. put a table and chair in the corner so people can sit there eating their cakes with a tea/coffee. Also - don't be fooled by the front display - it is just for display. I was almost heart broken when I went in to get a loaf that looked divine only to be told it was a 'gallery' loaf. Fortunately they had a similar one (last one) on the shelves.

The Paul near the hotel where I stayed is one of these places. I haven't changed. I loved a bakery then and I still seek out one when I'm travelling. I loved visiting this cafe. My hotel stay didn't include breakfast. Frankly, there wasn't a place to have some at the hotel itself. Instead, I bought breakfast items to my room to enjoy. I went to this cafe and got these items: - Pain au chocolat - Quiche lorraine - Red velvet macaron I paid with a credit card. I remember staff being super friendly and nice. I got my items in a couple of branded paper bags. I brought them to my hotel room to devour. The pain au chocolat was delicious. It was flaky and the dark chocolate was there in every bite. The quiche lorraine was enjoyable. It had the perfect ratio of eggs to cheese, bacon, and onions. The crust was yummy and held everything together. Both items tasted fresh. They were warm when I ate them at my hotel room. I went back to get a red velvet macaron. It felt fancy having it in its own box. It was divine! I'm glad that this cafe still exists. It's awesome.

Ask a German living outside of Germany what they miss the most about home and I guarantee you that…read morethey will almost always mention the bread. I do not have such strong ties to German bread, but my time in Berlin has taught me how to appreciate a good pretzel (with butter if necessary, not mustard, you heathen!). Bäkehaus isn't quite as gemütlich (or cozy) as your favorite neighborhood bakery in Germany since it's all self-service, but it gets the job done. The pretzels were soft and chewy and surprisingly enough, reasonably priced! Bäkehaus also offers loaves of rye bread and a plethora of sandwiches with a German twist (I spotted a pork schnitzel sandwich with cranberry sauce on ciabatta for £3.99!), so why not grab something here for lunch instead of opting for a pricey sandwich from Pret or a sad sandwich from Tesco? It's located on the high street just minutes away from the Tube station, so you really don't have an excuse.
