23. November 2013: Cafe Baldung im Augustinermuseum
Absolutely nice place, absolutely tasty coffee and food – but, dude, the service is sub-terrestrial! First, you have to walk up to the counter to place your order which is unpleasent but obviously okay. Then, placing the order, I was basically first ignored, then finally my order was taken but in a very unpleasant, unfriendly, non-professional way. Once the coffees were prepared you would expect that she would maybe make a not that they are (as we were just sitting like 2 meters from the counter) – but nope: Not gonna happen! So the coffees stood there for quite some time until one of us noticed that they were prepared. I mean seriously, how the hell do you expect customers to return to your please if you are this unfriendly?
Anyway, the Cappuccino (EUR 2.50) was definitely tasty …
… and the “Chocolate Cake” (EUR 3.00) even more. It had small crumbles of nut which provided it with a hint of crunchiness which was quite interesting. The place itself is quite nice as it is located in a museum with high ceiling, old-ish decoration and just overall pleasant.
Well, a bit off topic but somehow too funny not to share – it is not only a museum but it seems to be an art place. When you walk towards the toilet I saw something written on the wall which I considered quite hilarious: “Pizza, Love, Harmony”.
In any case, the Café Baldung im Augustinermuseum closes down in December this year (according to their homepage). A pity I’d say as it is a nice atmosphere, good dishes, fair prices – and well, very crappy service … so maybe not a loss in the end!

I started the blog in October 2009, while living in Milan which I definitely consider to be one of the food capitals of the world. I was in touch with food since my early childhood (as my father is a former chef). Whenever I can, I travel the world to discover new places, to meet people but mostly to try local dishes and to find hidden gems! If you know a place worth going, please drop a line to: info@thediningexperience.org.
