The food here was very good and did not disappoint! I enjoyed their omelets. It was so fluffy and light. Their German pancake was probably my favorite. It was very tasty and I love how light it was. Never tried it with apple sauce before but it totally worked! I also got her Bavarian breakfast which is served with pretzel and their traditional sweet mustard. Honestly I loved it. Not sure why others didn't but I love how simple it was! I would definitely try it out and see for yourself. I had a good experience!

Went for Lunch Food - 5/5. Schnitzel was a beautiful golden brown having a crispy bite with tender pork. Mushroom gravy was delicious with a balanced flavor that brought life to both the schnitzel and spatzle. Despite being a cream-based sauce, healthy amounts of herbs kept the flavor fresh and vibrant. Spatzle had good bite on them with a nice sear. Service - 4/5. Quick and friendly. Value - 5/5. Their jagerschnitzel is priced at $22, including the spatzle. Portion sizes are huge with the schnitzel nearly covering the whole plate with just as much spatzle underneath. Fantastic German spot! Parking - Mall Lot (Free)

Esther's always does it right? The ambience is awesome, the food is great, the beer is phenomenal. Family own business that caters to what you want to eat? Good German food. And the pretzels wowsers.... Did I mention the beer :0)

This is a rare place you can get German breakfast and draft beer in the morning, which is prevalent everywhere in Germania but not America. They struggle being open from 9AM to 3PM because they could have a great evening business but they instead focus on pastries and breakfast, with only 4 beers on-tap. They try hard and obviously don't have the expertise the previous owner (who likely was from Germany) but the German omelet was excellent and the schnitzel I saw being served looked good. The small outdoor beer garden is mostly covered. It'd be killer if they had some umbrellas for the tables out front. They have a small TV out there if folks want to watch sport, or leave it off and enjoy conversation, which is how small cafes in Europe are. The beer's good, but far too limited. They need to add popular German staples on draft, like Spaten, Hofbrau, Bitburger, Stiegel and Ottakringer. It's is nice they do have a Schartzbier. The current owners don't really understand what they have is the biggest problem not mentioned already. This place should have more beer and less pastries they don't understand or have experience making. The food is quite good given the circumstances, but they need to focus more on food and beer. Normally, I'd award 3-stars, but I can tell the owners have made strides since reading other reviews and my first visit. They apparently had very good, authentic baked goods that are hard to duplicate now, but they should expand the beer and scale the bakery stuff back; it looks like a Le Boulanger when you enter and it should be more focused on food and beer. This place was relaxing with soft jazz playing, interesting patrons and I'd visit here again. It just needs some tweaks. Being located next to a brewing store, you'd think they'd have figured out they have a beer garden to serve lots of beer, not just 4 things. They manage to ride the balance between a breakfast eatery and light German cafe in a unique way. They should have an afternoon happy hour and get some retired German folks to work a few days a week, that would really help.
