Andy's German Bakehaus

I learned about Andy German Bakehaus when searching for places that offer Black Forest Cakes. The bakery itself is quite small and offers a limited selection of cakes and pastries, as well as breads and sandwiches. For my visit there, I sampled their Black Forest Cake (duh!) and Cheesecake.

Black Forest Cake ($5): 3/5; This was unfortunately a bit of a disappointment. While the cake was moist, it was also bland and severely lacking in sweetness or chocolate flavour. Fortunately, the layers of whipping cream and chocolate shavings helped lend a bit of sweetness. My favourite part would have to be the layer of cherry filling however, which was tangy and did not have any off-putting artificial flavours that cherry can sometimes have.

Cheesecake ($4.25): 4.5/5; This was quite different from any other cheesecakes that I've had. The crust was more like a cake rather than the traditional bread crumb. The filling was firm, crumbly, and more sweet than tangy (I don't think that it has any cream cheese). It had a really nice (vanilla?) fragrance. Overall, an interesting and quite delicious version of a cheesecake.

Although I am a little disappointed by the Black Forest Cake, their Cheesecake was well worth the visit. I really would recommend people to give it a try.
