  1. What a delicious vision. Wonder what it would be like to just pitch camp at this patisserie for a week and sample everything. Perhaps the doorway could be enlarged during that week to facilitate the exit of my self, enlarged by such a seven-day stay!

    1. Francis, Francis, your daydreams are about to carry you off to unknown realms! ;-)
      On the practical side, I could imagine an hydraulic lift right out those large windows.

    1. An utterly charming place, indeed!
      And their chocolates are out of this world, as I can testify (I recently received a few of them as a gift - they did not survive the evening!)

  3. Oh my goodness, it's probably a good thing that that wonderful place is in Vienna and not close to me.
    Donuts...yum.
    Such lovely and charming photos Merisi.

    1. You would not believe that I managed to resist and not devour the donut, would you? (I realized at some point that I simply cannot eat all the food I shoot!)

  5. I am going to have to find a recipe for Vanillekrapken! I can only imagine how wonderful that tastes.
