What started as a small side hustle slowly grew into something bigger than I ever imagined. Over time, Kaffee’n’Kuchen became a way for me to reconnect with the cakes I grew up with traditional German recipes, familiar flavors, and baking that feels honest and comforting.

​

At first, it was simply about baking for others. Then it became about why I was baking. The more I baked, the clearer it became that this wasn’t about trends, perfect decorations, or chasing what’s popular. It was about tradition. About flavor. About cakes that don’t need an explanation because they simply taste like home.

​

As the years went on, the vision sharpened. I found myself drawn deeper into German Konditorei-style baking. Classics over trends, balance over excess, and recipes that have stood the test of time. Cakes meant to be shared at a table, with coffee, conversation, and a little pause in the day.

​

With the support, guidance, and encouragement of the Switchyard Accelerator Program, that little idea finally had room to grow. What once lived in my home kitchen, and later through markets, pop-ups, and countless early mornings, slowly turned into something more permanent.

​

Opening a brick-and-mortar bakery wasn’t just the next business step. It was the result of years of learning, refining, adjusting, failing, trying again, and listening, to my customers, my instincts, and the process itself.

​

This bakery is not about perfection.
It’s about showing up, staying true to what matters, and creating a space where people can slow down and feel welcome.

The space may be new, but the heart behind it is the same.

​

We’re still baking.
Still sharing.
And still loving every slice.
