The Eaten Path A global collection of food and travel stories, 2008-2012
I’ll admit it: I enjoy the sweeter things in life. If given the choice between savory or sweet, I’m almost always going to reach for the sweets, though at times I do want to have my cake and eat it too. Fortunately, this predilection has brought me to a most wonderful tradition, known in Germany as kaffee und kuchen (“coffee and cake”).
Kaffee und kuchen is also referred to as a zwischenmahlzeit, or a meal between meals (similar to the British tradition of Teatime), and is really an excuse to get together in the afternoon. The “official” kaffee und kuchen time is 4:00 p.m., when Germans might pause to enjoy some treats, gossip, catch up or spend a leisurely afternoon moment with friends, family or guests.
I may be stretching it a bit when I call kaffee und kuchen a tradition, as it seems to be a dying one in Germany’s modern times. It’s hard these days to find people willing or able to make time for this old form of entertainment, and if so, then it’s most likely on a Sunday afternoon, when everything is essentially closed. That said, everyone is still aware that this pastime once existed, and every so often I find the younger folk sharing a kaffee und kuchen afternoon with their friends, simply on account of its kitsch value.
What makes this tradition so beautiful and so accessible is Germany’s endless line of bakeries and cafes. Most of them are bound to have some type of kuchen, and given such a wide variance of quality and type, those browsing the full selection of cakes, tarts and pies must know exactly where to go for the right dessert. Those who just want to enjoy something sweet with a nice cup of coffee can pop into almost any café or bakery and be on their way to a great afternoon.
If you are averse to heavy cream, butter, fat and loads of sugar, then sadly this isn’t a tradition for you. German cakes are no joke when it comes to making sure every possibly unhealthy ingredient is used, and that’s why I’m in love with them. Many cakes you’ll find filled with pure butter cream. Others are topped with all sorts of fresh fruits. Yet others are crowned with a half-foot mountain of pure chocolate with sugary frosting, and of course there are cakes baked with alcohol, like schnapps or rum. I wouldn’t necessarily promote consuming every one of these as a daily tradition, but as a lover of sweets I find it necessary to sometimes let go of my health-conscious views and indulge. I also find it necessary to ask for a healthy dose of schlagsahne (fresh whipping cream) to accompany my already sinful slice of life.
Bonn is still home to many wonderful destinations for kaffee und kuchen. I’m partial to Schloss-Café Poppelsdorf, as they have a wonderful selection of cakes and a wonderful outdoor patio. I would also recommend Breuer’s Cafe, which, although a bit on the outskirts of Bonn, houses a huge offering of sweets. Both cafes – along with most cafes here in Bonn – happily serve delicious coffee drinks to accompany these treats, and I am never disappointed in the quality of coffee here in Germany.
Tradition is what brings us together and what keeps us together, and when it comes to German bakeries, tradition is constantly challenging my waistline. The sweet spot of this tradition embodies two things I adore: the chance to indulge in excessive desserts (before dinner of all things) and the chance to spend time with family and friends. Kaffee und kuchen, antiquated as it may be, acknowledges the need to cut a slice out of our busy lives, to designate an afternoon to simply talk, and of course to do this while stuffing our faces with sugary, fat-laden, cream-stuffed wonder.
Königswinterer Str. 697
I’ve become obsessed with teatime recently… not so much the appointed time as the act of taking a breather and enjoying the simple pleasure of coffee and pastry, as you’ve been doing. The corner of my new bedroom will soon house a 2×2′ bar table, two stools, a Japanese tea set, French press, and pastry dish expressly for this purpose! I love sharing a coffee with a friend at the local cafe, but there’s something about having a teatime corner at home that is immensely more appealing.
Hello! I am spending the month of July in Bonn and happened upon your articles while Googling for some particular places to eat. I will have to give Schloss-Café a try! Many thanks.
@ James – So glad you are a fan of the tradition as well – it’s nice that it still lives on in other places in the world, in other people’s lives.
@ Chris – Enjoy your time in Bonn! Hope you get to discover and enjoy many of the culinary delights here to be had!
omg they look amze balls

Taking a break for coffee and cake Culture: In Germany, the afternoon ritual of 'Kaffee und Kuchen' is a sweet pause that refreshes.
Potsdamer Platz is a sea of mud and machinery as the largest construction site in Europe emerges from a wasteland that once stood between two segments of the Berlin Wall. By the turn of the century, this will be a complex of corporate headquarters and government offices, but it has to be built first, and there seems to be a dearth of construction workers at the present moment. Where are they? Drinking beer? That's a good guess, but it's wrong. They're thronging the Stehcafes ("standing-cafes") of the local bakeries, participating in a sacred ritual that's at the heart of German food, one that cuts across lines of class, age and occupation: Kaffee und Kuchen.
Translated, it's "coffee and cake," but this is about as accurate as describing "afternoon tea" in England as a cup of leaves steeped in hot water. Kaffee und Kuchen (KOO-khen) is the quintessential Mittagspause, the pause in the middle of the day, and from 2 to 4 in the afternoon, it's the primary activity of a number of Germans.
As a social ritual, Kaffee und Kuchen is all-encompassing: as intimate as having friends over to the house, or as businesslike as a meeting out of the office. It's a way for parents and grown children to get together socially, for workers to congregate for a break, for old friends to see each other and new friends to get acquainted. You can pause for pastry in a tony cafe with starched-linen tablecloths and a long history, or drop by a corner bakery in an out-of-the-way neighborhood. Kaffee und Kuchen is part of the cement that holds German society together.
The "cake" can be an intricate Viennese-style pastry, or, at some times of the year, the jelly-doughnut-like pastry (usually stuffed with a liqueur-fortified jam) known as Pfannkuchen or Berliner. And although there's a trend in Germany these days to substitute tea for coffee, Kaffee und Kuchen is still the real deal for most people.
Kuchens aren't layer cakes, which are called Torten. They're flat cakes, baked on baking sheets and usually cut into 2- by 4-inch rectangles. But other pans and shapes are also used, especially in other countries. The variety is as staggering as it is seasonal: Most kuchens are made with fruit in season - particularly strawberries, which Germans revere with a devotion that would fill a doctoral thesis. In the winter, dried fruits are deployed, along with such standbys as chocolate, custards and poppy seeds.
The different names are closely tied to the type of kuchen, because each varies with the region of the country. Fortunately, in a bakery or a cafe, one can usually just point at one's selection. And not all kuchens are sweet.
Like coffee, kuchen probably came to Germany from Austria. The Viennese are to pastry what the French are to sauces: masters of invention. While not everyone can afford to buy a Sachertorte in a cafe or prepare one at home, kuchens are simpler pastries that invite experimentation and can be made by any person with a flair for baking. Germans took to them enthusiastically, and the basic form underwent changes until distinctly German recipes emerged.
So think of kuchen as coffeecake if you want, or think of it as an easily prepared delicacy with an Old World flavor.

Copenhagen Delicacy Tour with Foods of Copenhagen
For our fall trip to Copenhagen, we knew that we wanted to go on a food tour – after all, it’s our very favourite way to explore a new city! I knew very little about Danish food prior to the trip, but had read that Copenhagen was well known for its food scene, street food, and café culture. That pretty much checks all the boxes for me!
In my search for an in-depth and informative food tour, I came across Foods of Copenhagen, the brainchild of owner and tour host Cindie. Foods of Copenhagen provides small boutique tours and is committed to personal attention, expertise, professionalism, and sustainability. They partner with small, local businesses in Copenhagen for their tours and support local merchants, shops, farmers, and food producers whenever they can. The tour itinerary promised us some of the best food and drink in the city and we were not disappointed!
We met our friendly Foods of Copenhagen guide Anne-Marie at our meeting point near the city centre. S and I were joined on our tour by guests from Northern Ireland, England, and even a local from Copenhagen who just wanted to explore the city’s culinary scene. After a warm introduction by Anne-Marie, we set off for our first taste of the tour. Along the way, we passed the Gammeltorv (Old Market), the oldest square in Copenhagen, and the beautiful Caritasspringvandet (Caritas Fountain). Anne-Marie told us that they put golden apples inside the well on the Queen’s birthday and they ‘jump’ inside the fountain. Would love to see that!
A post shared by Kaffee und Kuchen (@kaffeeundkuchenblog) on Nov 6, 2017 at 2:54am PST
Our first stop was a traditional Danish restaurant located just off the square. Greeted by cheery Danish flags, we were invited inside for a taste of one of Denmark’s most famous dishes: smørrebrød (an open face sandwich).
On classic white and blue Royal Copenhagen plates, we tucked into herring and Frikadeller (Danish meatball) smørrebrød. Anne-Marie taught us how to build our own smørrebrød by spreading a thin layer of lard on a piece of rye bread before layering on the toppings. As a perfect complement to the smørrebrød, we sipped snaps, a strong alcohol often paired with smørrebrød to cut the fattiness, especially when eating herring. Delicious!
Onward to the oldest bakery in the city dating back to 1652. S and I had to smile when we realized this would be a stop on our tour because that very morning, we had walked by the very same bakery and drooled over the items on display in the window.
This is the place where we tried the Danish food most familiar to visitors – the beloved breakfast pastry, the Danish. But is it really Danish? In fact, Anne-Marie told us the sweet custard-filled pastry hails from Vienna and the Danes adopted it and made it their own. In fact, it doesn’t even go by the name ‘Danish’ in Denmark – it’s called wienerbrød (aka Vienna bread)! Whoever invented it, I tip my hat to you – the wienerbrød (also known as spandauer) we tried was so good, we went back the next day for two more.

Sightseeing in Copenhagen
Hello friends! Sorry for my blog absence again – I have been a little preoccupied these days with work so the blog took a bit of a back seat. I have a few fun posts in store for you, though, inspired by my recent trip to Copenhagen!
During the fall holidays, S and I made a 4-day trip to Copenhagen, Denmark. Neither he nor I had ever been there before and we had always wanted to go. When we found affordable flights to Copenhagen during the first week of November, we finally decided to make it happen. Now, early November may not seem like a great time to visit a chilly Scandinavian country, but we enjoyed ourselves immensely. The city wasn’t too crowded with tourists and we packed scarves, hats, and gloves to stay warm. We prepared for some hygge and that’s what we got.
Also! I got a new camera. I’d been eyeing a few models since February and finally took the plunge in honour of this trip. I’m still learning all the features, but hopefully the quality of the photos will be a bit better.
I’ve put together a summary of the top sights we visited in the city that I can recommend to you.
Sightseeing in Copenhagen
Nyhavn is a colourful 17th-century waterfront canal that was originally a prosperous commercial port. Today it is a top sightseeing attraction and entertainment district. Distinguished by the colourful buildings, bobbing boats, and pricey restaurants, Nyhavn is a must visit spot in Copenhagen, if only for the quintessential snapshot of the city.
Rosenborg Castle
Rosenborg Castle is a Danish renaissance castle built by Christian IV in the early 17th century. Originally a summer palace, today the museum inside houses art collections, Denmark’s Crown Jewels, and Royal Regalia. Tip: The museum has limited opening hours in the winter (10am-2pm), so plan ahead. You can also stroll through the beautiful gardens for free, which is what we did. Apparently the castle garden is gorgeous in the summertime.
Tivoli Gardens
A post shared by Kaffee und Kuchen (@kaffeeundkuchenblog) on Nov 1, 2017 at 12:05pm PDT
Tivoli Gardens is an amusement park and garden in central Copenhagen. The second oldest amusement park in the world, Tivoli is a great place to spend an afternoon reliving your childhood. The park was all done up for Halloween with pumpkins and decorations everywhere. Truly enchanting! Tip: The ticket price is cheaper if you go from Monday-Thursday. You can buy entrance tickets online in advance to avoid waiting in line to get in. Note: The gardens are currently closed until November 18, 2017 while they prepare the Christmas decor inside.

Strøget is a pedestrian-only, car-free shopping area in the centre of Copenhagen. As one of Europe’s longest pedestrian streets, it’s a great place for a bit of shopping, people watching, and leisurely strolling. Pop into a cafe to warm up or simply enjoy the buzz of the city all around you.

A Summer Getaway to Maui
During our visit to Canada this summer, S and I made a side-trip (can you really call a 5+ hr flight a ‘side’ trip?) to Maui, Hawaii. We had dreamed of going there together but the journey straight there from Germany is, shall we say, extremely far. We thought that while we were in the North American ‘neighbourhood’, it would be a good time to visit an otherwise very difficult-to-reach destination.
We asked other people which Hawaiian island to visit. Some suggested Kauai for the lush scenery, others the Big Island for its volcanic activity. In the end, we picked Maui, the tourist favourite, for its spectacular beaches, food, landscape, and activities.
A post shared by Kaffee und Kuchen (@kaffeeundkuchenblog) on Sep 3, 2017 at 12:32pm PDT
Maui was absolutely the right choice for us – it was one of our favourite holidays to date. Unlike many of our city trips where we sightsee nonstop from AM to PM, we took it easy this trip and spent our days doing exactly what we felt like, when we felt like it.
Unlike my other travel blog posts where I break down a specific destination into several posts (say restaurants, museums, and sights), I decided to write about our time on Maui and my recommendations of what to see and do and eat in one post.
A post shared by Kaffee und Kuchen (@kaffeeundkuchenblog) on Sep 10, 2017 at 5:56am PDT
I spent a lot of time researching where to stay on Maui and what kind of accommodation to pick. Hawaii is very expensive, so many online forums suggested choosing a time share or apartment-style accommodation with a kitchen so you can cook some meals to save money rather than eating out all the time. We nearly went this route until we found an excellent deal to stay at the Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa, a 4-star resort in Kaanapali. Though the rooms didn’t have a kitchenette, they did have a mini fridge, a coffee machine, and a kettle so we could still have breakfast and snacks in our room.
We absolutely loved the resort. Positioned at the Black Rock, one of the best snorkeling spots on Maui, it was as picturesque as could be. We loved stepping outside our room onto the golden Kaanapali Beach and going for a swim or a snorkel whenever we liked. S saw numerous sea turtles (I only saw 1 ) and there were more tropical fish than we could count. Tip: If you like to snorkel, bring your own snorkel gear with you to the island so you don’t have to rent on site.
The Whalers Village shopping centre is only a 10 minute walk away. It’s a good place to grab a quick, affordable bite, or pick up a few souvenirs. They also offer free hula shows, as well as hula, lei making, and ukelele lessons during the week.

Activities
As I mentioned earlier, we didn’t want to jam-pack our schedule, so we just planned three special activities while on Maui. We chose to do a Road to Hana tour, attend a luau, and take surf lessons.
Road to Hana
Many people suggested driving the 100+ km Road to Hana ourselves, but with 620 curves and 59 one way bridges, we thought it best to leave it up to the experts so we could enjoy the scenery. After reading a lot of reviews, we decided to go on tour with Valley Isle Excursions. Our driver, Lynn, has been a tour guide for 30 years and knows the island and the Road to Hana like the back of her hand. Over the course of the 10+ hour tour, we drove through tropical rainforest, drove by the Keanae Peninsula, spotted lush waterfalls, walked across the black sand beach at Waianapanapa State Park, visited the Pools at Oheo Gulch, and drove through the Kipahulu section of Haleakala National Park. We made several stops throughout the day, even at a roadside stand serving warm, fresh out of the oven banana bread. It was a long but well-spent day and we really felt like we got a chance to see some of the most beautiful spots on the island.
A post shared by Kaffee und Kuchen (@kaffeeundkuchenblog) on Aug 26, 2017 at 5:30pm PDT
Old Lahaina Luau
S’s dream was to attend a luau on Maui. There are so many to choose from, but all reviews pointed toward the Old Lahaina Luau, the most traditional Hawaiian luau on Maui. For me, it was the absolute highlight of our trip. We were greeted with fresh flowers leis and mai tais upon arrival against the backdrop of the sun setting on the Pacific. Prior to dinner, we could walk through the grounds and learn about Hawaiian history and culture, as well as watch the kalua pig get unearthed from the Imu, the traditional Hawaiian underground oven. The dinner was a plentiful buffet of classic luau fare, such as the Imu-roasted pork, poi (steamed and mashed taro), ahi poke (raw marinated yellow fin tuna), taro leaf stew, and much more. The entire show and dinner was so well-coordinated and the hula dancers were spectacular. At the end of the night, we were all gifted with a small banana bread to enjoy for breakfast the next day. 100% recommended!

A Walk Through the Granville Island Public Market
During my recent trip to Vancouver, British Columbia, I stopped by Granville Island, one of my favourite places in the city. This small peninsula is situated across False Creek from downtown Vancouver, right under the south end of the Granville Street Bridge. Originally used for fishing then industrial manufacturing, Granville Island is now known for its tourism, entertainment, and shopping.
A post shared by Kaffee und Kuchen (@kaffeeundkuchenblog) on Sep 20, 2017 at 4:00am PDT
One of the most popular attractions on the island is the Granville Island Public Market. Loved by locals and tourists alike, the indoor Public Market features an amazing assortment of fruits, vegetables, flowers, foods, gifts, and handcrafted products.
My favourite stands at the market are the colourful produce stands with towering displays of cherries, berries, and other seasonal fruits. I can never resist a peek at the Stuart’s Bakery display cases – tiny cakes and cookies all stacked up, studded with nuts or sprinkled with coconut, topped with a tempered shard of chocolate.
The pyramid of rainbow macarons always tempts and delights as well.

How to Make Coffee
There are lots of ways to make coffee, but there are a few tricks you can use to make a really good cup of coffee. If you don't have a coffee maker handy, don't worry; you can still enjoy coffee by placing a coffee dripper over a mug, using a French press, or using a mug and a tea towel!.

Community Q&A
- It isn't "good," but it probably isn't that bad either. Just try to keep it to one cup. Caffeine is addictive and with any addictive substance it's easy to start consuming more and more. Don't have caffeine in the late afternoon/evening, and try to quit if you find you're not getting adequate sleep.
- Some people can drink instant coffee, provided the water is not allowed to reach boiling point; stop the kettle just before the water starts bubbling or even at a lower temperature, this is an art more than it's a science because it depends on ambient temperature, humidity and barometric pressure. This is to try not to destroy the fragile aromatic molecules that give Coffee its pleasant smell and taste. Some people go a bit further and put a certain amount of cold water, to mix with the incoming hot water to try to preserve the aromatic compounds. Some people don't like instant coffee, so they drink other coffee blends; the best way is to experiment.
- Double shot of espresso into the mug, and steam the milk much like with a latte - but with a bit less foam. Pour over until shorter than a latte, but taller than a cortado.
