This place takes me back to my roots.
My husband and I are both German and while we absolutely love North America, of course we miss some products from "home".
Luckily enough, Brandt has most of them and quite frankly the prices are not much different from what we used to pay in Germany, so I can't complain.
There are only 3 reasons why I opted out of giving them 5 stars:
1. They don't have our favorite chips: Chipsfrisch Ungarisch by Funny Frisch (- so far we haven't been able to find them anywhere in Canada.. so if a fellow Yelper knows - please let me know...)
2. They never make enough pretzel buns.
If you are coming after 11am-ish.. you don't get any cause they are all gone... and that's too bad cause they are really yummy.
3. If you want to buy German Nutella - make sure to check the label.
We do and a few times it turned out it was produced in Canada and NOT in Germany. This is actually matters because German Nutella tastes different from Canadian Nutella.
(We brought Nutella from our last trip home and tested them side by side with the one you get here for comparison.. ;))
Other than that I think this place is great.
Their staff is nice and most of them are even German-speaking which is great since a lot of elderly people are shopping there too and I noticed that quite a few of them don't speak English perfectly...
They also have a deli counter. We tried a sausage with potato there once and it was decent.
