Naegelin's Bakery - New Braunfels

I made several attempts to contact the bakery through both email and phone, both before and after the strudel arrived. Finally, when I managed to speak with someone at the bakery on January 19, 2009, I was told that it was simply “tough luck” for me as the customer. They also emphasized that they don’t believe in the idea that the customer is always right and refused to replace the strudel or issue a refund. To top it off, they hung up on me. I would recommend avoiding Naegelins Bakery at all costs.

This restaurant is a beloved icon, having been around for quite a while. The pastries were enjoyable, featuring a delicious cream cheese pocket and a tasty peach strudel. I also purchased a bag of sand tarts, which were decent but not particularly fresh or standout. The service could use some improvement, as it felt like the staff were just there for a paycheck. In fact, the young lady dropped several pastries while she was handling the trays.

It's impressive that this bakery has been around since 1868! The apple danish is definitely one of the best I've ever tasted, so you should definitely try it. The other items we ordered were just average. However, it's still worth a visit, even if you don't buy anything. There are plenty of staff on hand since it tends to get busy.

How could we resist stopping at the oldest bakery in Texas? We made a stop here around 9:30 this morning and were delighted with the variety of options available at reasonable prices. While we initially planned to buy just one treat each, we ended up purchasing quite a bit more for family and friends. Don’t miss out on their Fried Apple Pie ($1.75) and the Big Sticky Roll ($2.85) – they’re definitely worth it!

I was excited to visit this bakery as I am a huge fan of German style bakeries! Definitely did not disappoint. Bring your sweet tooth because the variety will certainly amaze you! lol I chose a small variety of pastries and cookies to try. Staff was nice and patient while customers, including myself, took time to carefully choose snacks!
