Café Knigge
Konditorei Café Knigge
A family pastry shop founded in 1889, now in its fourth generation, famous for Bremen fruit bread and Baumkuchen.
Opened in 1889 on Sögestraße by confectioner Friedrich Emil Knigge, and now run by the fourth generation. All pastries are made on the premises using the shop's old recipes, without preservatives. Must-buys include Klaben, Bremen's fruit bread protected by an EU designation of origin; homemade Baumkuchen; and the cappuccino monk cake invented by a previous owner. Visitors also love the marzipan Bremen Town Musicians. The coffee is roasted in-house and can be enjoyed on the terrace by the pedestrian street. About €8–15 per person.
