Amazing place!!!! Cakes are fresh and flavorful. Chocolate mousse as excellent but the sour cherry cake was even better (hard to do but it was). Definitely one of those "go back a thousand time" kind of places. Staff were very kind and helpful. See you all there tomorrow (can't wait)!!!

Had lunch here excellent, had a choice of either coffee or cake for after could have had both no doubt. But our lunch was included in the price. Well worth a visit if only for the coffee and cake.

I'd give this place 6 out of 5 stars Huge selection of cakes - and they're not very sweet so that's a big plus. Coffee vet tasty as well. The lady at the counter was extremely friendly. It's a pity we couldn't sit inside because of lockdown. I'll definitely come back once the lockdown restrictions are lifted. Kudos to this place!

Very helpful staff. Scrupulously clean. Up to date, but retains traditional charm.

My husband stopped by today for a coffee. The Latte Macchiato was really good, cute location, it was too cold outside but I am sure it’s nice it’s warmer because they have a patio/terrace outside. They have lots of seating inside, it was bigger than I expected! We did not try the restaurant, this review is based on experience with staff, the coffee and the atmosphere. I wish they also sold pastries but that might be because I am French haha.

Very authentic and special café. In summer time you can sit in the most beautiful garden. The menu includes coffee, ice cream and cakes. Not suitable for lunch.

This should be your favorite place for coffee and cake in Oberammergau. Delicious chocolate, cakes, strudel and pies. Coffee, soft drinks, beer, wine and icecream. If you missed lunch, ask for gulash soup. Nice terrace and free parking.
