NO RELATION TO THE GRIM REAPER

The name says it all, GERMAN BREAD HAUS. These folks have been making some of the best bread for years in this same location. The building is pretty interesting as well. Looks are somewhat deceiving, however. The retail section of the store is very small;about 6 feet by 3 feet. The rest of the haus is ovens and storage. But the smells! There have been times I have stopped in just for the olfactory satisfaction it dispenses.
I assume the young couple on the right are Hansel and Gretal. The little girl in the tower is Rapunzel. You will have to click to see what I mean. I would assume the Brothers Grimm are regulars.

    Bread is better than dessert {well, not including chocolate!}

    Love all the thought and craft they put into it!

  5. Mmmmm. I do like the aroma of fresh baked bread! I see there are two gingerbread men there too. What a workout the owners must have every day running after them as they yell "Run, run fast as you can. You can't catch us, we're the gingerbread men!"

  7. Organic Vegan! This would become my favorite bakery in a heartbeat, and that's no fairytale.

  8. «Louis» is disappointed that you didn't show their fleet of shiny Yugo delivery vans. Perhaps they were all in the repair shop the day you took this photo; rare occurrence as it is for a Yugo to be in the repair shop...

  10. So cute and not something one would expect to see in Fort Lauderdale. But then there are many things in Fort Lauderdale one would not expect to see in Fort Lauderdale!

  12. "olfactory satisfaction", that's hilarious. This place is Disneyesque in its own quaint way. Can you play Putt Putt there too B2??

    BTW, as your virtual secreatary, May 1 is Theme Day - Statues. I'm sure you can come up with something. A manatee perhaps???

  14. This bakery has to be enlarged and studied, there are so many details! And it's even organic vegan, not that I care...

  15. Before I even read your post and just saw the house I immediately thought it's the Gingerbread house, Haensel and Gretel discovered. German bread, one of the things I miss the most!

    I can smell the freshly bake bread.

  18. Why doesn't blogger come with smells (okay, just the nice ones).

  19. I can almost feel the smell here! :-)

  20. ...and I can also smell it... Looks like a nice place, and I think I would have looked for some dark brown German bread.... Nam-nam or Yummy as you perhaps say.

  21. I've found that it is becoming increasingly difficult to find a decent loaf of bread! Never found one in Santa Fe, but there are a few here in St. Paul. By the outside appearance, the owners have imagination and I guess it extends to their product, too.

  22. Mmmmm. There's nothing like fresh-baked bread, and it's nice to have a little store with tradition rather than big box in a mall.

  23. Hmmm Very enterprising. Ya ya!!
    Is they anything better than the smell of fresh baked bread. MMMMmmmmm!!
