Esther's German Bakery - Los Altos

I enjoyed the German pancake with apples. It is not like a Dutch pancake. It's more like a dense crepe. My hubby and my son ordered omelettes. They were decent. Nothing special about German coffee- tastes like any other house coffee. Their desserts and pretzels are so delicious, especially the triangular shape shortbread with a layer of raspberry topped with almond slivers and then the edge is dipped in chocolate- heaven!!! My hubby and I came back a few weeks later and tried the dishes in the photos below- amazing!!!

What's not to love about Esther's? We've tried a fair amount of the menu, and everything we've tried has been delicious. I love their German omelette and cheesy pretzel breads especially! And the service is great everyone who works here is super friendly and makes you feel welcome. They have limited hours right now, so I'm always eager to go when they are open.

The pretzels here are to die for salty and soft with their special German cheese (that is cold and mushy) this place is a total win! Also tried the potato pancakes with Apple Sauce (a little too tried for my liking) and the classic sausage and potatoes which was also delicious. They have the most amazing German beers on tap as well and it's a great spot for either an intimate dinner or a large group even for brunch.

Amazing food. We feel at home with Esther’s cooking. Typical European food. We highly recommend stopping by. Staff is friendly, great atmosphere. Small, cozy place.

Great food!. On a whim I tried this place, the atmosphere is sweet, very cozy and homie, exactly what you want in a local bakery. The food is rich, so I would recommend sharing with a friend, otherwise you could feel like you had gone a bit overboard.
