3.5 and rounded up, this bakery has a stand at Markthalle Neun, and on a Monday at noon when I dropped by was a popular spot. A small line of customers formed though service was quick and I was able to pick up a chocolate girella pastry €3.50 to go.
Temptation got the best of me and despite my intentions to save it for later I ended up taking a few bites of this right there. First, this was huge, definitely couldn't (and maybe shouldn't) finish it in one sitting. The pastry dough was pretty good, decently flaky, though not as light as I expected. There's a plentiful filling of dark chocolate and chopped nuts (I think pecans or walnuts), which was lovely though ration of filling to pastry was a little too high, I think perhaps the amount of filling affected how the dough on the bottom could rise when baking. Overall a decadent treat and I would drop by again to try some else if I were in the area and had a hankering for baked goods.
I didn't have much interaction with the staff, from my recollection they were courteous.
