“ Ich liebe dich !! so happy to eat yummy pretzels and all the snacks and yummy desserts. You will not regret ordering your cake here. The rolls!! ”

“ Fabulous service!. Great sandwiches just like we had in Germany. Love the rye bread. Pastries are decadent and flaky. Ordered several to go for our family. The restaurant was clean and tidy. We appreciated having a carafe of coffee brought to our table. After dining we visited the store and bought pretzels! We will be back! ”

“ Wow this store had all imported German goods. What a delicacy you don't see often in the Pacific NW! They even sell pretzels and other pretzel style breads that are great when baked. The deli in the back also has a huge assortment of uncooked sausages. If you're looking for European snacks, come here! ”

“ The best German sandwich around and don't sleep on the pretzels. Great fresh baked and a pastry shop next door that is also very good ”

“ Stop #3 on the Lakewood 3.0 road trip (10/19/24) was at Hess Bakery & Deli. The shared parking lot was packed on Saturday afternoon, but CC found a spot along the adjacent street. Upon entering to the right is a completely different Germanic coffee shop. That has a pastry case full of cakes and other baked items with indoor seating. Long line too. Hess Bakery & Deli is to your immediate left. Oh my this brought me back to Tüttlingen 1981 and the long shuttered Continental Deli in Seattle's UDistrict. I honed in on the cookies and chocolate aisles. There were the familiar brand pantry items, beers and other bevs, German periodicals, and wow even holiday baked items like stollen. After selecting some Milka and Ritter chocolate bars, I make a beeline to grab a number at the deli case. Number 57 was called and I got a small container of fleischsalat (bologna, pickles, and mayo) and a bologna ring from Stiglmeier Sausage Company. Onward to checkout line. The helpful counter employee explained the difference between the individuals rolls. I bought a Hess soft roll and a pretzel roll. Later at home, the Hess soft roll was perfect. I added some fleischsalat on a half slice. The other half had nicely boiled, peeled, sliced, and fried bologna. Mmmm, delicious! The Homie agreed with the same end result with the pretzel roll. Talk about muscle memory about culinary flavors from 43 years ago. Thanks Hess Bakery & Deli for such an unexpected experience! ”

“ Awesome little discovery! This little deli has some great products from Germany. We got two deli sandwiches on pretzel buns. They cost about $6.50 and they hit the spot! We also grabbed some fresh pretzels. They are huge! Our family shared one and got a medium size honey mustard. So good! We also picked up some yummy cookies, chocolates, and ketchup I haven't seen since I was in Germany about 20 years ago! The staff is friendly which makes all of it even better. Definitely check it out! ”

“ They have a vast array of bratwurst, salami and German delicacies that are not readily available in this area. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. I visited the deli to check out their weisswurst, it was legit!! By the time I left I had mustards, sauerkrauts, herring, liverwurst and bread. Fabulous place! If you are German and didn't know about Hess or if you are interested in the German culture this gem is a must to visit. ”

“ If you want good German food then this a good place to go. The grocery store has a great deli counter with good selections. Their pretzels are great and come in various sizes. The big one is really big. Across the hall is the bakery. It smells good and what they have is an awesome selection of baked goods (fresh breads, and pastries and cakes) that you want to get one of everything. But don't so you have reason to return like we will. Service is over the top and very welcoming. The bakery especially so. The grocery store not that much but still overall a great experience that we will go back again. ”

“ The pastries are delicious! Can't wait to come back and try more. The biggest downside is that they charge you extra for using debit & credit cards. That's unfair and illegal ”

“ Whether you're hear for the tasty German treats or to brush up on your Deutsch, you're at the right place. Great stop for coffee and baked goods. We also stopped in the grocery next door to put together a nice lunch. We were new so ordering from the bakery was tricky. There are limited menus to look at and by the time you see the one on the wall, you've already passed the register. Also, wait to be seated, even after you've placed your order. ”
