Swiss Konditorei Bern

Here’s a little secret: there’s a whole bunch of very good restaurants all around the city that don’t bake their own bread. But they have such good bread, and so fresh, how can this be, I hear you ask yourself. Well, this is the answer: quite a lot of it comes from Swiss Konditorei Bern, where they bake great piles of delicious bread daily. Luckily they also have a few days a week where they are open to the great unwashed as well, so anyone can go in and buy baked goods from them.
It’s hard to recommend one thing over the other here because everything I’ve ever bought here is very very good, but my favourites are the small «health rolls» (wholemeal rolls with seeds and nuts) and at the other end of the health spectrum, the Matterhorns: cones of alcohol-​soaked sponge covered in chocolate.
They also sell a small range of Swiss smallgoods, such as salamis and other preserved meats. Finally, they’re always very friendly here and happy to have a chat and recommend a particular bread for what you’d like it for, and everything is at a really good price.
