Everything is freshly prepared for you at GENUSSWERK.

Food offer

From morning to evening, GENUSSWERK München offers a good selection of healthy dishes, different breakfasts, sandwiches, various homemade cakes, waffles, vanilla ice cream, as well as coffee and tea varieties. Those who enjoy breakfast, Those who want to can already enjoy a breakfast starting at eight euros. The "Small Breakfast" consists of a slice of bread with jam and cream cheese, along with a small hot beverage of their choice. Alternatively, there are five other signature breakfasts, thoughtfully curated by GENUSSWERK: "Fitness Breakfast" with yogurt and fresh fruit, muesli, freshly squeezed orange juice, and a hot beverage for 10 euros; "Sweet Breakfast" with a croissant, Bircher muesli, jam, and a hot beverage for 9 euros; "Egg-Egg Breakfast" with scrambled eggs served in a glass, chive bread, freshly squeezed orange juice, and a hot beverage for 10 euros; "Bavarian Breakfast" with a pair of Weisswurst (from Magnus Bauch), a pretzel, and homemade mustard for 8 euros; or the "Breakfast for Two" with Prosecco, scrambled eggs, bread, croissants, muesli, and much more, starting at 35 euros).

For me, the "flagship" of GENUSSWERK Munich: The differently spread/topped breads. You can choose between "cold" slices of bread with over 10 different variations (between €3.90 and €7.50) or the warm option in the form of toasted white, rye, or mixed wheat bread (between €5.00 and €8.50). The selection is diverse, and there should be something for everyone who loves bread. Don't just imagine a thin slice of bread with an equally thin topping, but rather a real "filler," as they don't skimp on the toppings or the thickness of the slices.

Sandwiches with different toppings.

Starting with the (cold) "chive" or "jam" bread, there are also simple toppings like "salami bread," "serrano ham bread," "bruschetta bread," or even the Bavarian Obatzda bread. Also delicious are the "chipiti avocado" bread or bread with crab on top. Vegans should opt for the eggplant or avocado bread. If you prefer something warm, you can choose bread with serrano ham and mountain cheese (for €6.50), with mushrooms (vegan | for €6), with "Indian curry" spread (for €8.50), or with "tonno artichoke" (for €6.50). While I was perusing the menu, displayed on black slate boards, the "potato and rosemary," the "hummus," and the "Alsatian" bread were also ordered. Everything looked really delicious. My choice wavered between the "Strammer Moritz" (with 2 organic fried eggs, air-dried rendered Tuscan bacon and fresh tomato; for 8.50 euros) and the aforementioned "Tonno Artichoke Bread" – I opted for the latter.

The best bread is used at GENUSSWERK Munich.

While my bread was being freshly sliced, toasted, and lovingly topped, I continued browsing the menu (…which, by the way, will soon be available in printed form on the tables…). A separate board listed the "Seasonal Specials," which included items like "Iced Latte" (0.4l/€5), "Indian Summer" (rooibos vanilla tea with honey, cinnamon, and milk foam | 0.4l/€5), and "Dash" (apple and mango juice with crushed ice, blackcurrant nectar, an orange slice, and a mint leaf | 0.4l/€4.50). Also intriguing, and sometimes noticeable from afar, was the aroma of freshly prepared… homemade waffles (for €3.50), which you shouldn't miss. They're made with high-quality spelt flour and locally sourced eggs. If you jazz them up with eggnog, cream, Nutella, vanilla ice cream, or even cinnamon sugar (from €0.50), they taste even better. They impress less with their aroma and more with their fantastic appearance. various homemade cakes, such as sour cream and mandarin orange cake, apple crumble cake, chocolate cake, and many more. Fresh cakes are baked several times a day. For those who just want a small sweet snack, there are Florentines and small chocolate kisses (available in three chocolate varieties; made by the "Gmeiner" confectionery). I've also had the pleasure of trying the delicious and also homemade vanilla ice cream (in three sizes), which can be jazzed up with various toppings (for €1 each: Smarties, chocolate shavings). There is also numerous hot drinks (Supremo coffee! – Cappuccino from €3.50; Latte Macchiato from €3.50), countless varieties Premium leaf teas (for 3.50 euros) and also many different ones Variations with hot chocolate (from €3.50 for the smaller version). Personally, I also appreciate that it's Coca-Cola. Soft drinks as well as "Manufaktur Proviant" smoothies in various varieties.

Homemade Bircher muesli for breakfast?

I tried it myself! …and how good it tasted.

Okay, enough looking, time to try. Since I've been there quite a few times, I was already familiar with some of the classics, so I deliberately chose a new one: "Paté di Tonno Bread" – a rye-wheat mixed bread with tuna, artichoke, and sun-dried tomatoes (for €6.50), which was attractively presented and served in a good portion. Since I wanted to experience the hot and cold versions side-by-side, I also ordered the "Tuna Artichoke Bread" in a toasted white bread version to try the "warm" tuna bread alternative. Preparation only takes a few minutes – depending on the toppings – and is, of course, very hygienic, so everything else is just right. As mentioned, they don't skimp on the toppings, and you can tell that the bread is made with high-quality ingredients. I really enjoyed it; the warm version was even better than the cold one. If you're just a little hungry, a slice of bread will definitely fill you up. If you eat two different kinds, you'll certainly be satisfied for several hours. I had a tea (be sure to check out the tea station!) and a banana milk with an "extra twist" to go (…I won't spoil the surprise, just ask when you get there…) ;-). The salads served with the bread spreads are from Feinkost Kugler and are refined and customized according to GENUSSWERK Munich's own recipe. Anyone with a discerning palate will recognize from the first bite that no expense has been spared on quality.
