“ This is a quant little bakery in downtown old new Braunfels. They offer several different types of prebaked German pastries and also fresh baked goods like donuts and cupcakes. The lady that helped me was very pleasant and I enjoyed checking this place out. I'll be back again one day when I'm in town. ”
“ The food was great and the waitresses were able to quickly organize our orders. Makes my stomach rumbling when being served. Good time for my husband and I. We will be back. --KB in Blanco ”
“ I asked them to make my retirement reception cake with this design and they nailed it! It looked amazing and most importantly it was delicious! The price was very reasonable for a custom cake for 100 people. ”
“ Nice little store with big taste. I was quickly served an entire cherry strudel (about $50.00) to bring to Thanksgiving. Ambiance included a small outdoor cafe ”
“ Yes yes, oldest bakery in Texas since 1868. Is it actually good though? Well, yes I certainly think so. Are they the best baked goods I've ever had? No, but it was still good! We got some savory and sweet items on our stop here. I'm more of a savory guy so I really enjoyed the kolaches, especially the bratwurst and jalapeno sausage. We also got one of the sweet rolls and tea ring coffee cake. Both were a bit more sweet for my liking. Nonetheless, they were still good. Other than that, we had good service from one of the gentlemen behind the counter. Would I come back again? Maybe if I was bringing other people. I mean it's the fact that this is the oldest bakery in Texas that brought me here in the beginning, but I think there's plenty of other local businesses in New Braunfels that I would want to check out before making Naegelin's a must-go-to. ”
“ What?!? How have I never left a review??? I come here at least twice a year when visiting the e boyfriend's hometown. The oldest bakery in Texas boasts some of the finest baked goods on the planet. German heritage at its finest. Always the best service. Such a fun and inviting hometown space. Gingerbread people year-round? Heck yeah!!! ”
“ Being a tourist for a day in New Braunfels, our first stop was one of the oldest bakeries in Texas... Nargelin's! We were able to park right up front, walked in, and our eyes were immediately drawn to all the scrumptious goodies behind the display counters on the left and the packaged goodies on shelves towards the right). We waited in a small line ( I understand it can get pretty busy), and mentally made a list of what we wanted to order. What made Naegelin famous is their apple strudel, so no doubt we ordered it...in addition to their sausage kolache, bear claw, and strawberry kolache. Absolutely loved the apple strudel! Fresh chunks of apples, a bit of cherry for color, and a hint of coconut. These small additions made this strudel stand out from the usual run of the mill. The bear claw was not my fave and not what I had envisioned. Presentation and taste was more along the lines of a pop tart. Besides apple strudels, they sell a variety of breads, doughnuts, cupcakes, cookies, pies, macaroons, and kolaches. Service was quick, and the ladies behind the counter were sweet. ”
“ Oh wow! I went in for a couple of breakfast pastries and left with 4 bags of different treats! It was so hard to choose between the wide variety of items on sale. It was interesting to watch customers order, knowing specifically what they wanted. It gave me insight as to items to purchase. My favorite items were the cherry fried pies and the cherry strudel. The crusts were flakey, and the cherries tart. Delicious! My friend fell in love with the cream horns--very light and crisp. Next time I'm in New Braunfels, I will be back. ”
