"Fantastic breakfast spot with a strong focus on quality pastries and well-made food. The croissants really stand out: crisp, flaky, and deeply golden on the outside, while soft, airy, and buttery inside—exactly how a proper croissant should be. You can tell they’re baked fresh and handled with care. The pretzel croissant sandwich was excellent and easily a highlight. The pretzel-style crust adds a subtle saltiness and chew that works perfectly with the soft interior, and the fillings were generous and well-balanced, not heavy or greasy. Other pastries we tried were consistently good, with great texture and flavor, and nothing felt overly sweet. The cappuccino was bold and rich with a strong coffee presence, paired with smooth milk foam—great if you like your coffee with real character. Overall, a very solid breakfast place that clearly takes pride in their baking and coffee. Definitely worth coming back."

"Rockenwagner Bakery Café & Market on Washington Blvd is such a great spot. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, which makes it perfect whether you’re grabbing something quick or sitting down to enjoy it. Everything is fresh and delicious, and I love that they also offer pre-made food for fast grabs when you’re in a hurry. The quality is always consistent and you can tell care goes into what they make. It’s a quick and easy stop on my way to work at Sin.D.Smooth, and honestly a lifesaver on busy mornings. Definitely a Washington Blvd favorite!"

"I had the omelette on the specials menu. Mushroom, onions and bacon. So good. Service was good too. It's a small place, seems popular. Maybe a little understaffed. But we were seated and served pretty promptly. My wife really likes their blueberry pancakes. And the sourdough toast is wonderful."

"Staff are very helpful, and the food is good quality for the price. It's such a nice little café, I got to sit down and do my work for a good amount of time, and the environment is super chill."

"The bread was fresh and good but the food a disappointment after eating many meals Chef Hans Röckenwagner's more formal places (and dreaming about many of the dishes). Straightforward, brilliant, inventive flavors and combinations were in every dish. And always more than a competitive prices to add a final flourish. Here the bread and bakery goods are very good though two other bakeries no long around had much, much better pretzel buns. The menu sound divine but the sandwiches feel skimpy in appearance and taste. The service is enthusiastic and you can see an owner overseeing it all. The clever decor is upbeat but austere, including backless stools. We wanted this to be our "go-to" place but even the menu (one vegetarian) prevents this. The place was busy, busy and happy to see this"
