Krämer Cafe

I stumbled across this gorgeous café on my way to Mt Albert markets a couple of weekends ago. I was walking through the Mt Albert shops and noticed the Eighthirty sign — a beacon of good coffee — and the freshly cut Irises on the windowsill. I simply couldn’t resist…
Once inside, I was ecstatic to find my favourite Berliner donuts. For those of you who haven’t have one before, they are German donuts covered in sugar and filled with jam and sometimes cream. In my opinion the only way to eat them is to heat them slightly (and SLIGHTLY is key — the jam will burn your mouth otherwise) and then squeeze the jam out of the centre. They also have German cheesecake, which is more cake-​y than cheesey… if that makes sense. I prefer it to normal cheesecake and BONUS, their’s is gluten –free!
While I was waiting for my coffee I got chatting to the owner and it turns our her husband, who makes all these delicious treats, is from Köln.
It’s worth noting that this café, whilst perfectly formed, is petite. I’m talking 3 tables inside and a couple out so not appropriate for large groups.
