• small chocolate manufactory at the Viktualienmarkt

• artistic pralines with gold dust and candied flowers

• little luxurious dilemma - eating them yourself or sharing them as gifts

Chocolates couldn’t be more artfully crafted! “Too beautiful to eat, but too delicious to merely admire,”

That’s how Wilhelmine Raabe describes her little masterpieces.

So, we’re left with a delightful dilemma—do we savor them right away, or should we admire them just a bit longer?

And with this luxury problem, we are left to decide on our own. “You’re welcome,” says Mrs. Raabe with a smile, for that’s the meaning of “sama sama.”

in short...

• limited selection - highest quality

• best bread in town and a different sweet pastry every day

• on Wednesdays - „French country bread", the most delightful loaf of white bread ever

„Tuesday to Saturday, from 8 a.m. until the last loaf” - the opening hours of the two Julius Brantner bakeries are to be taken quite literally.

The delicious bread is always freshly baked, using traditional craftsmanship and the finest organic ingredients.

In line with the principles of mindfulness and sustainability, nothing goes to waste.

The selection is intentionally kept small, but the quality is simply outstanding.

So, it’s well worth arriving early.

And for those who are still a bit sleepy, you can grab an excellent coffee in a charming Brantner cup to go.

in short….

• for paper lovers and everyday aesthetes

• precious papers up to the ceiling and the most elegant stationery

• Carta Pura makes our work desk the most cherished place

A really good pair of scissors, a pretty notebook with a matching pen, glue that we won’t want to hide in a drawer…don’t we all wish for everyday items that look beautiful and bring us joy?

At Carta Pura, you’ll find all of this, from writing utensils to bookbinding supplies and fine stationery.

Plus, there are artistic sheets for paper enthusiasts who truly appreciate them.

in short...

• for anyone who loves smooth Italian ice cream - and who doesn't?!?

• lovely bonus - the tasting spoon on top

• then hop over to the lawn outside the Pinakothek and savor it in peace

At the corner of Theresienstraße and Türkenstraße, from March to October, you’ll find Munich’s best ice cream. During this time, the restaurant owners in Maxvorstadt wistfully tuck away their dessert menus.

Because everyone knows – by 10 p.m. at the latest, after the main course, the guests head off in the same direction anyway.

The goal is to get a portion of the creamiest Ballabeni ice cream for dessert, before they close at 10:30.

in short…

• labyrinth full of delicacies – Käfer on Prinzregentenstraße

• pink cakes, brightly coloured macarons and the most delectable berry tarts

• and in late summer - the best plum cake in Bavaria

The beautiful corner building at the edge of Bogenhausen’s villa district has been home to Feinkost Käfer, a Munich delicatessen icon, since 1933.

A refined restaurant on the first floor, a cozy bistro with a garden below and in between, like in a hobbit hole, stairs up and down, are the finest gourmet delights.

What captivates us most, however, is the in-house patisserie, decked out in sugar-baker white, presenting the most beautiful tarts and cakes.

in short….

• our most beloved flower boutique

• from snowdrops to peonies, from dahlias to pine cones - a dream throughout the seasons

• plus lovingly collected vintage treasures

By late May, when the scent of peonies and lilacs fills the air, when lilies of the valley and columbines are in bloom, while carnations and mallows unfold their pastel petals, the little flower shop overflows with beauty.

No one knows better than the florists here how to tame this floral abundance into small and great bouquets.

Their creative presentations never cease to amaze - violets arranged in an old coffee cup, dried flowers in a vintage suitcase, pussy willows in an ostrich egg… 

The quality of the flowers is so exceptional that they last for a good while, giving us maximum joy.
