Apart from eat-in meals, they also offer delicious fresh-baked cakes and bread. And it seems the locals are catching on to the wonders of European baking as well. On my most recent visit, a lone Chinese woman came into the shop and ordered a slice of Black Forest cake, tiramisu and a glass of cold milk. Moments later she was forking her way through her plate of dessert with...
