This is one of our favorite bakeries when we're looking for some fresh Rye Bread and possibly some delicious Apple or Cherry Strudel. They also have plenty of other tasty German goodies and treats that will keep you dancing along your merry way. Just check out their photos.
Usually pick up one of their fresh baked Rye Breads and some spicy German Mustard on my way back from the German Sausage Company down the street. Each day of the week is a little different and you may want to call them first to see what types of items they are baking. You can always have them save you a loaf and pick it up later at the end of the day.
They also sell a nice variety of Stiglmeier brand German Sausages that are made up in the cold and snowy Wheeling, Illinois. It is a little pricey but very fresh with some nice authentic flavors and definitely worth the extra expense.
Just so happens Wheeling is where we lived when the stork dropped me down the chimney back in the 60's. I'm pretty sure they were not there at that time. It was a very small town and the great blizzard of 67 drove us out of there for a warmer climate. I told the ladies behind the counter that we used to live there and they had a good chuckle.
Service is always friendly and they have that cool family owned and operated attitude and pride in their products. They do have a tendency to run out of certain items during the day and will gladly tell you when they will be available in the future. I normally have them hold a loaf of Seeded Rye for me and they are happy to do so.
Sorry I have no photos for this place. I'll try and take some in the future. It's just too good and I'm usually eating some before the car even gets started. It's good to bring some extra napkins just incase.
See you there next time. I'll be the guy with giant smile on my face and the big cardboard box full of Strudel. DAS LEBEN IST GUT!
