Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Step in here for a delectable sandwich made with homemade German bread and cold cuts. Their mustard dressing is excellent! Get some, linseed, wholegrain or Vietnamese Bahn-mi (short baguettes), sourdough or from the many other types of bread they have to take home with you, along with some cold cuts to make a sandwich at home, as well. My husband likes the barbeque roast pork sandwich, while my favourites are the cinnamon buns and the sweetcorn and cheese bun (I think that is what it is called- they didn't have it today, but it has sweetcorn and cheese in it!)
The staff is helpful and polite, and the owner is very hospitable, genuinely nice and friendly. When he is around, the owner makes it a point to go to every table and check out if the customers are happy with their order.
Over time they have expanded the café into the patio area by building walls around it. While I prefer the earlier set up which I felt was better for air circulation, the new set up will appeal to those with young children, as there is space for the young ones to move around and perhaps draw something or play, while they have a chat and a meal or coffee. In Fact if I were to rate the quality of the food and the service and people I would give it 5. Parking and the walled in space is the reason for 4

I recently visited the German Bakery. It is a small and very clean Deli. The tables have good social distancing. The disappointing part was that they have a new menu and of course the prices have gone up quite considerably for a deli.
They do have a small range of very tasty food and good homemade breads to purchase. Very good coffee.

The hot cross bun was very good. It was fresh and tasty. The pumpernickel was fresh soft and very good.

We visited this place as part of our search for the best breakfast in Colombo, looking at the listings we wanted to give it a shot.
If you are looking for a simple breakfast (bread and eggs) then this may be the place for you but can be pricey.
We ordered a cold chocolate and didn’t quite taste the chocolate, I also ordered scrambled eggs with salmon and got something that looked like an omelette, when i told the server i ordered scrambled eggs she seemed confused but took the plate away, later the manager brought back the plate i didn’t notice a change and when i inquired he said that this is how their scrambled eggs look like. So if you are looking for The Scrambled eggs that you know be careful when ordering it here.
The ambience is quite cozy and it has a small play area for kids which is nice, looks like the place is going through some renovations though.

Loud place .
Once the quality of service and set up has been cosy and nice.
Not anymore.. restaurant was only one table more.. waited nearly 30 minutes for a simple juice.
Deliveries are a mess in timing.
Don’t advise to order for delivery.
The whole place looks a bit messy,missing the typical German style of cleanliness.
A kindergarten set up provides a lot of noise,
it seems more like a internet place..
it was better before, not anymore enough quality for me.

Dropped in for a quick breakfast. Love the quiet and warm ambience. The staff are very friendly and courteous. I ordered the cream cheese pastry which was soft and fresh but lacked filling. The home made chicken hot dog was juicy and delectable. The coffee was average and was not up to my expectation.

Out of the many cafes in Colombo very few serve breakfast with REAL bacon, The German Artisan Bakery tops the list.
In addition they have home made gourmet sausages and a good selection of beads.
The must have is the crispy potato omelette made with 3 eggs and lots of bacon... makes a very hearty and satisfying breakfast.

The place has a nice ambiance and feels cozy.
We had the hot dogs - they were so good! Probably the best I’ve had in Colombo. We also tried the roast pork sandwich which was perfect!
Good portion size and total value for money.
Their different breads are amazing too!
Keep up the good work please.

I ordered the omelette with rye which was quite delicious. The bread for the sandwich was not very fresh and was hard to eat. I don't know if it was us who got a bad batch since we read so much about the bread this place serves. All in all it was a good breakfast experience.

It is so difficult to find fresh, good bread in Colombo. My husband loves the fitness loaf and I get the pumpkin bread. It’s awesome and I even give it to my baby. Hope they keep up the good work

There are a number of things we've tried from here but we keep coming back for bread, sausages and power snacks. A bit on the pricey side in general but everything is fresh and tasty.

Had a wonderful European style breakfast at the German Artisan Bakery. The platter for 2 was brilliant, great Salmon and Sausages. The mustard was outstanding! The bread and cream cheese too! Even the Fried Eggs tasted different! The Potato Omelette with Bacon was the best thing I've ever had for breakfast!! Good cup of Coffee. Prices ok for the good quality but I'd say "slightly on the expensive side". My first visit there and I'll go back for more for sure. Lovely addition to Colombo's bakery & breakfast scene! Parking could get a little tight, there's 4 slots of 2 cars behind 2 others! We managed ok.
