Amazing spiced breads and cookies and other treats! The staff were kind and one spoke English and helped up around. The factory was very busy making Christmas cookies but they were kind and offered free cookies to my children!! Visited this place after seeing the promotion in the TF1 and somehow we regret to have bought the sweets before seeing the conditions under which they are prepared. The shop on the main street sells the derivates and at the payment they ask you if you want to buy tickets for the museum. Normally, things should work the other way around. Museum is 50m on the right side of the shop. None is checking tickets at the entrance, you can taste the from a pile of other slices where everyone put his hands, then you see the production and assembly line, which is the shocking part... The dirt and lack of hygiene that you will see here will make you regret to have bought and tasted them. They use low quality ingredients, leftovers are everywhere, a man who was decorating the was touching other things around and then going back to the production, and tourists can pass by and watch freely or maybe even touch it, for the case of the kids. For a food safety this should be a high concern. What we realised later was that the stomach cramps and troubles were coming from consuming these. They are not as tasty as they're promoted. Then, the rest of the looks like a storage unit for the things not used, in plain words a mess. However, kids can spend some time wondering around. The place has history, but what happens now it's a mess. I didn't have time to visit the but the store is good. I bought one plat shaped of human cookie in the noel market in strasbourg from their stand, that's how i know about this. The lady in charge of the stand there is friendly and nice. She gave us a tote bag to carry the plat as well. Highly recomend this one! Very friendly and genuine owner. It goes way beyond pain d'épices and generally is about the Alsatian culture and history. We had a lovely time here! The looking building is a marvelous little store filled with goodies of all kinds. And the is amazing! It’s all made next door in the bakery. I will definitely be ordering online from them now that we returned home to the US. Inside the store, you can purchase tickets to the museum, which is the light blue building which also houses the bakery. Our family of 5 spent only 9euro total to get in, because some of the kids were free. Plan to spend 30-60 minutes in the museum, and don’t forget to taste some on your way out. The is a bit like visiting your grandmother who liked to collect things, except they have a few generations worth of very interesting antiques, including some sets of dishes that are few hundred years old. A journey to the good old times. Dedicated employees producing traditional specialties only available there. Also have some antique casseroles and cake forms on sale. is very disappointing. Lots of items displayed but no explanation on how the bread is made apart from an old video. No visit to the factory or anything. Very small and too packed with staff. Cutest shop and in one of the quietest location. Difficult to find but was beautiful surprise Terrible gingerbread. Most of all, the boss was rude and disrespectful, I saw him treat his part-time employees badly. Absolutely do not recommend. Didn't visit the but visited the shop and bought beautiful tasting products - wish we had bought more! Authentic, small artisan production instead of the larger place down the road in the same town.
