| - When interviewing for a job, they say the interviewer makes a decision in the first 5 seconds. First impressions are likewise important with food, I'm sorry but pastries and cookies sometimes just look good, and sometimes just don't. The presentation of pastries here was underwhelming, nothing "looked" good, and the decor was subpar (I'm not a big decor guy, but it does leave an impression).
Der Brokorb is a small tucked away bakery and sandwich place in Woodchester mall. A selection of freshly baked breads ($3 per loaf) lines the wall behind the counter which has a small selection of pastries, homemade cookies and desserts.
I stopped by for breakfast, but not a whole lot looked especially appetizing. The only thing that quirked my interest was this chocolate almond cookie thing ($1.50, see the picture), but it wasn't very tasty. There wasn't another person in the place, so I'm questioning whether turnover is a problem and how fresh the pastries are.
Individual apple pies ($3 each), homemade cookies ($3 per box) looked fairly average.
On the positive side of things, when I walked in through the door I was hit with the smell of freshly baking bread so maybe their breads are pretty good. I wouldn't mind trying a sandwich, but the pastries and cookies didn't leave a good impression.
Not much of a place for decor, had a few tables for sit down as they serve sandwiches and soups during lunch.
