Claude & Julien is a pastry shop in Au-Haidhausen for French-style breakfast, coffee and takeaway treats. The selection includes delicate pastries such as the pistachio croissant, alongside cakes and desserts suited to a quick morning visit or a slower café stop.

The shop’s appeal lies in its close attention to texture and freshness, with flaky pastry and a distinctly French character. Dine-in and takeaway options make it easy to fit into a Munich itinerary, whether you want coffee with something sweet or a pastry to enjoy on the move.

Tanpopo Konditorei Café #3

  • sweetness restrained and flavors well balanced

Best for
Unhurried coffee-and-cake visits with a takeaway option

Tanpopo Konditorei Café brings a pastry-shop and café format to Maillingerstraße, with tarts and cakes at the center of its offering. The selection leans toward soft, rich and creamy textures while keeping sweetness restrained and flavors well balanced. Fresh strawberry desserts are a particularly appealing choice, and the range extends beyond pastries to a varied drinks menu.

Visitors can sit down for coffee, breakfast or dessert, or choose takeaway when a quick stop suits better; careful packaging makes the latter practical. Friendly, helpful service allows time to consider the selection rather than rushing a decision. Tanpopo also broadens its scope with gift ideas and baking courses, making it useful both for an everyday café visit and for anyone keen to explore pastry beyond the counter.

Pâtisserie Café Dukatz #4

Pâtisserie Café Dukatz

4.6526 reviews
St.-Anna-Straße 11, 80538 München-Altstadt-Lehel, Germany

Pâtisserie Café Dukatz brings a polished French café atmosphere to St.-Anna-Straße in Lehel. The pastry selection is carefully presented, with attractive desserts suited to a refined coffee break or a sweet stop while exploring the neighbourhood.

Coffee and light savoury choices, including quiche and spinach piadina, make the café more versatile than a dessert counter. The attentive young team adds to the welcoming feel, while the central location works well for a short visit or a leisurely pause.

Pâtisserie | Café Dukatz #5
What stands out
  • selection of miniature tarts

  • a proper café au lait

Pâtisserie | Café Dukatz

4.6276 reviews
Klenzestraße 69, 80469 München-Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt, Germany
Best for
Sampling several small tartsBreakfast with coffee and pastries

French patisserie character shapes this cosy Munich café on Klenzestraße, where pastries and coffee are central to the visit. The most useful distinction for pastry hunters is the selection of miniature tarts: they make it easier to sample different varieties or choose a lighter sweet portion. Café au lait is another particular draw.

It works equally well for breakfast, a quick bite, or a solo café stop. Guests can eat inside or take an outdoor seat, while the laptop-friendly setup gives the space some daytime versatility. Prepared foods broaden the choice beyond sweets. For plans on the move, takeaway, kerbside pickup, and no-contact delivery add flexibility. Pricing can feel elevated and service may not always match that premium, so Dukatz is strongest when the priority is French-style sweets, small-format tarts, and a proper café au lait.

Julius Brantner Brothandwerk #6

Julius Brantner Brothandwerk

4.81193 reviews
Nordendstraße 23, 80801 München, Germany
Best for
Bread-focused bakery tripsSourdough and pretzel shoppers

At Julius Brantner Brothandwerk, bread takes precedence over an oversized pastry counter. At its Nordendstraße 23 bakery in Munich, the range centers on loaves, with pretzels and a compact selection of pastries. Its organic dough-making philosophy reinforces the emphasis on dough and breadmaking.

The appeal is strongest for shoppers who care about pronounced flavor and are comfortable paying more for it. Sourdough is a defining part of the offer, though its particular profile may divide dedicated sourdough fans rather than suit every preference. Coffee, takeaway and dine-in make this a useful stop for either a quick purchase or a slower break. In-store pickup is also offered, while the concise range gives the bakery a focused identity rather than an everything-for-everyone format.

Café la Maison #7

Café la Maison

4.8860 reviews
Weißenburger Str. 6, 81677 München, Germany
Best for
Relaxed breakfastOutdoor coffee

Café la Maison on Weißenburger Str. 6 offers a relaxed café setting with breakfast, coffee, pastries, small plates, and outdoor seating. The compact neighborhood format suits a quick bite, solo work session, or an easy morning meal, with vegan and organic options adding useful variety.

Inside, the mood is intimate and informal; outside seating is particularly appealing on a mild day. The welcoming service and latte macchiato make it a comfortable place to settle in, while takeaway keeps the visit practical when time is short. The café is open from 8 am on most listed days and from 9 am on Sunday.

Brotraum #8
What stands out
  • spontaneous sourdough and heritage grain varieties

  • flaky layers, generous filling and a lightly salty edge

Brotraum

4.7549 reviews
Herzogstraße 6, 80803 München-Schwabing-Freimann, Germany
Best for
Sourdough and heritage-grain bread

Brotraum brings a grain-led approach to Herzogstraße in Munich’s Schwabing-Freimann district. Its bread is built around grain, water and salt, using spontaneous sourdough and heritage grain varieties, with a regional focus and no additives—a focused way of rethinking traditional baking rather than overcomplicating it.

The pastry counter is equally compelling. Pain au chocolat is a standout, while the pistachio pain de suisse combines flaky layers, generous filling and a lightly salty edge. The cardamom bun offers a fluffier, lighter dough with a satisfying filling. Carefully prepared coffee makes these bakes an easy breakfast pairing, whether staying in or taking them away. The atmosphere adds to the visit: warm service, the bakery’s aroma and a view of the work in progress give the stop a distinctive sense of craft and immediacy.

Jakob Blum Hofbräuhaus Kunstmühle GmbH & Co. KG #9
What stands out
  • Seasonal bakes add variety through the year

Neuturmstraße 3, 80331 München-Altstadt-Lehel, Germany
Best for
Traditional breads and pastriesBreakfast in Munich’s Altstadt

Tucked away from the busier luxury-shopping streets of Munich’s Altstadt, Jakob Blum Hofbräuhaus Kunstmühle is a bakery with an old-fashioned craft identity. Its range brings together bread and assorted pastries, while its wider focus extends to flour, grains, baking ingredients and traditional grain varieties. Seasonal bakes add variety through the year, and the nut-corner pastries known as Nussecken are a particularly appealing choice.

The Neuturmstraße address also works well for breakfast or a quick takeaway stop. Its appeal lies in the breadth of its baking and its close connection to milling and bakery craftsmanship. This makes it well suited to anyone exploring Munich’s pastry traditions or looking for a less obvious bakery in the city center.

Münchner Boulangerie #10

Münchner Boulangerie

4.6291 reviews
