If you are a fan of Donuts, you MUST visit this place. The Schmalznudel is kind of a Bavarian/Tyrolian version of an ordinary Donut with sugar. You can find Schmalznudeln under the same name or other names in other bakeries in Munich like at Rischort, Aumüller, etc. But (that is a big BUT), no Donut/Schmalznudel you find in Munich can come anywhere close to the ones you get here! Awesome is an understatement for its taste. What is best in this cafe is that the pastry you buy is guaranteed to be fresh! There is always queue waiting to buy and they keep making non-stop till they close for the day right in front of your eyes. They also make other pastries like Krapfen, Plum cake, etc. The place is a cafe so you can also have a coffee with your pastry. But I usually drop by to do a take away from them if I pass by this cafe. It is too small and crowded most of the time to sit and relax and unfortunately they close by 6pm. That is the only downside about the shop.

We stopped by this Cafe near Viktualienmarkt after seeing it pop up on nearly every Munich food list and many Tik Tok videos. It’s clearly popular, and there’s no doubt the Bavarian pastries are made fresh and served hot….especially the namesake schmalznudel. But beyond the fried dough novelty, the experience was a bit underwhelming. The service felt rushed and impersonal, and while that might be expected at busy spots, there wasn’t much warmth from the staff to balance it out. One thing to note: they only accept cash, which caught more than one tourist off guard including myself. As for the pastry itself it was light and crispy, but flavour wise, fairly plain. Also picked up a Krapfen that was filled with marmalade that was light and fluffy. If you’re into hot, simple fried dough the schmalznudel might hit the spot. Otherwise, it’s more of a quick snack than a must eat moment. Overall, glad we tried it once, but it didn’t quite live up to the buzz.

If you’re following travel blogs about Munich, you’ve probably come across Schmalznudel - Cafe Frischhut, a well-loved spot near Viktualienmarkt. Known for its traditional Bavarian pastries, this café offers a cozy and nostalgic atmosphere that makes for a pleasant stop during a city stroll. The service is friendly and efficient, adding to the welcoming vibe of the place. Even when it’s busy, the staff keeps things moving while maintaining a warm attitude. The interior is charming and simple, with a classic café feel that makes you want to linger over a cup of coffee. As for the star of the show—the Schmalznudel (fried dough pastry)—it’s served fresh and hot, which is a definite plus. While the texture is light and crispy, the taste itself is somewhat average, lacking the depth of flavor that one might expect after reading all the rave reviews. However, if you enjoy traditional pastries straight from the fryer, it’s worth trying at least once.

Terrible experience. I didn't even get a chance to try the well known Schmalznudel or Rohrnudeln because the service crew could not be bothered to serve us. We went into the cafe and none of the service crew greeted us or even looked at us. So we saw the seats outside and decided to take a seat and go in to order.

When some locals came in to order something, they were all smiles. When I ordered, she looked away while talking to me and even made a face at me. Me: "I'd like to have the Schmalznudel" Her: "5 minutes." Me: "And also the Rohrnudeln" Her: "We're out." She clearly expressed her displeasure with my presence for reasons unknown to me.

Moments later, our friend told us that another waitress had told us that we were not allowed to sit at the tables unless we ordered from her. All these is despite the fact that she never once bothered to come over to take our order while we were there. We stayed for a few more minutes and she continued to walk past us without heeding any of our call for her attention. In the end we left without getting to try anything because we were not here to be humiliated and treated like animals just because we're not Germans. It was obvious she didn't want to do business with us.

On a side note, the baker was really nice to us. He was the only one who smiled at us and we actually felt welcomed. I felt really bad that I'd not be able to try his craft work, but we just cannot stomach being treated like dogs by the rest of the...

This is such a special place here in the beautiful city of Munich. This bakery cafe is absolutely Munich's hidden gem, not because of its location but because of its wonderfully delicious Schmalznudelns. Nowhere in Bayern nor in the whole entire Germany, will you find tastier Schmalznudelns. Amazingly Delicious!

What is it? A Schmalznudeln is similar to a doughnut, as it is fried sweet dough. However, it reminds me of a fried cheese danish and I love cheese danish.....but the Schmalznudeln tastes even better than a doughnut or even a cheese danish. In reality, the Schmalznudeln cannot be compared. It stands in a league all of its own.

This cafe is located across from the Eataly Restaurant, in the Viktualienmarkt area. You can't miss it as it is the cafe with the Bavarian style wooden façade on the outside (as well as on the inside).

The closer you get, the more the sweet smell of the Schmalznudelns grab a hold of you, and you can't help it but drop in. It's so great, as you can see how they are made, right in front of you. It's great to have as breakfast with a wonderful Cappuccino.

I love it here. This is definitely one of my top three favorite places to visit in Munich. I very highly recommend that you drop by and...

Terrible service and attitude. We followed a long queue to order some München donut, once ordered the lady were very mad that we asked if we can pay by card. After paid with cash we still want to order a seemingly popular drink, but then another lady were pushing my gf away since she didn't see a trolley coming from behind. And then the 3rd lady only trying to tell us we are not allowed to sit inside. Interesting! We never wanted to sit inside, all we wanted just to buy the München donut and the drink and sit outside. But all three ladies given us the look like we are their enemy or something, and couldn't wait to kick us out of the shop. Very strange, I insisted we just want to order that drink and all good, and the 3rd lady ask us to find a table outside and wait for someone to come and take that order. Guess what, no one comes after 15minutes. That's Literally my worst experience in München. And I have been in Germany for years. Maybe we are unlucky, but be noticed this could happen. Good luck if you still want to try this cafe. I meant everything I wrote here and ensure the entire authenticity of this very experience. It...
