WHERE TO EAT The best Franzbrötchen in the world (according to food experts)

"The best Franzbrötchen you can get are at the Stadtbäckerei am Gänsemarkt. They are cheap, big and delicious!"

"The Eleven Best Franzbrötchen in Hamburg: Backecht - The Backecht Franzbrötchen are made from Danish pastry, butter, real Ceylon cinnamon, sugar and a delicate layer of marzipan and are delicious!"

Although I haven't tried them all, the Franzbrötchen at the Wiedenroth in Ottensen must be among the best. For more then years I've been eating them here, either alone or with a coffee, the quality of their handcrafted Franzbrötchen has remained consistent. They strike a balance between soft structure and slightly crispy crust together with a moderate sweetness of the cinnamon glazing. These Franzbrötchen eventually melt in your mouth, especially when they're fresh and warm, which is another sign of a perfect Franzbrötchen. In addition to the standard Franzbrötchen, the chocolate-filled variety are also worth a detour if you're in the Altona borough.
