This place is a hidden treasure. I saw a video on Instagram showing the princess cake and the cake flights. It looks so delicious and I was only 11 minutes away upon arriving and saying the names for parking spots. All in German was super cool. It’s a neat little village with a beer carton they have live music, clean bathrooms, and the German deli store is super cool. The people that work there are very helpful, very professional and knowledgeable of their product. All the cakes are made in house and absolutely delicious. We tried the princess cake, the mocha, and the German chocolate and the black forest fun fact German chocolate cake is not German. It’s named after a man named Mr. German we got some French butter and some sauerkraut. They have a lot of really awesome things. There are 10 out of 10. Recommend checking out this location spend a couple of hours and go through all the shops. You will not be disappointed.

I rarely give bad reviews because I understand that it is not easy to running business, but I was very unhappy today because I bought a bag of candy in the supermarket here. After paying, I opened it immediately and tried one. I found that the kernel inside was smelly. It was obviously expired and spoiled. I asked the cashier for a refund because the food was spoiled and could not be eaten. He told me that since it had been opened, the items would not be returned. I want to say, this is clearly spoiled food, why not refund? So, if you buy items, you must pay attention to whether such food is expired.

My very layered cake was pretty good, the employees favorite she said. The apple tart was okay tho. This place is really cute has yummy liquor sampling too.

The German Rolls are now horrible! What happened? A lot of German candy does no longer have a price tag on it....a typical 'tourist trap' to impulse shop and I dislike it very much. The pastry is still great but now also way overpriced. Deli meat is great. Cashier 'accidentally ' charged me $10 too much. Go figure... I did get a refund but I had to show her on my receipt. Umm? I've known this place for 38 years now and it has changed a bit to the lower end. Not too much but the German Rolls for instance are a MUST DO GOOD and not a cheap copy by a 'foreign ' baker. I paid $4 for a Berliner.... $4. My goodness. I know, it's gotten more expensive everywhere but $1 for a German Roll that is now not what it used to be? $1 for a roll! I am just no longer very happy about this place.

How did I not know how good this place is?!?! The pretzel roll was very authentic. Solid crust with fluffy middle. So Good!! The plum strudel was filled with juicy fruit that didn’t overpower the butter, flaky crust. The apple lattice was next level. Delicious fruit beautifully combined with crispy, flaky, buttery pastry. …and we brought it home to eat it. You can’t get this anywhere else.

Update: the croissants and pretzels support the 5 stars. They are excellent!

We lived in Germany, so we like going here and buying some German and European products.
They often have a wine tasting table set up. There are baked goods and frozen section and shelf-stable items.
It's cute in there.
My husband Apel Streudel and Blueberry cake, both are excellent.
I like the jams and sausages.
The Black Forest cakes look lovely.
I recommend this place.

I recently had the pleasure of attending a performance by Marko, a multitalented one-man band musician, at The Old World Restaurant in Huntington Beach, California. The evening was an extraordinary blend of traditional German music and Marko’s exceptional talent, making it a truly unforgettable experience.

From the moment Marko took the stage, his musical prowess was evident. He seamlessly transitioned between playing the alpenhorn, trumpet, and synthesizer, all while singing in more than six languages, including the most famous German songs. His ability to master multiple instruments and languages was nothing short of impressive and added a unique charm to the performance.

The atmosphere at The Old World Restaurant was vibrant and welcoming, with patrons enjoying authentic German cuisine and a wide selection of beers. The decor, reminiscent of a traditional Bavarian beer hall, provided the perfect backdrop for Marko’s performance. The audience was fully engaged, clapping along and even joining in for some of the well-known tunes.

One of the highlights of the evening was Marko’s rendition of “Ein Prosit,” a traditional German drinking song that had everyone raising their glasses and singing along. His energetic performance and genuine connection with the audience created a lively and festive atmosphere.

Overall, Marko’s performance was a testament to his incredible talent and passion for music. His ability to bring traditional German songs to life in such an engaging and entertaining manner made for an unforgettable evening. If you have the opportunity to see Marko perform at The Old World Restaurant, I highly recommend it – you won’t be disappointed!

Great specialty store inside old world village. There's too much great stuff to describe in just one review, But if I have to highlight anything it would be their deli and their bakery counter. They also have some good liquor selections and a lot of other goodies in between those categories. They're a little bit more expensive than most places, but this place is European themed and some other items there you can only find online. Plus it's just delightful to go to Old World village and just poke around through the stores looking for the things you've always wanted to try but don't think about until it's in front of you.

Definitely worth a trip to go get a pretzel, a fresh loaf of bread, or some good Bavarian sausage.
