About German Bakeries
Although supermarkets are popular, many Germans still prefer to shop for meat, bread, pastry, fruit and vegetables in specialty shops: the butcher, the baker, the green grocer and other specialized types of stores.
Germans have no tradition for sandwich shops, but you will find that German bakeries sell quite nice take away food and are serious competition for the fast food chains. Even the smallest bakery will sell many sorts of bread or rolls, most of them darker (for example, using whole wheat or more rye flour) than the white bread popular around the world and definitely worth a try. Bakeries typically open very early (e.g., after 6 a.m.) to allow you to buy items for your breakfast before going to work. Some bakeries are even open on Sunday mornings so that you can buy fresh pastries and rolls.
Germans are very fond of their bread, which they make in many variations. This is the food that Germans tend to miss most when away from home. Most people like their bread relatively dark and dense and scorn the soft loaves sold in other countries. Bakeries will rarely provide less than twenty different sorts of bread and it's worth trying a few of them. In fact, many Germans buy their lunch or small snacks in bakeries instead of takeaways or the like. Prices for a loaf of bread will range from 0.50 € to 4 €, depending on the size (real specialties might cost more).
