Lutz Cafe & Pastry Shop is a classic and timeless destination, evoking memories of grandmothers' treats. The cherries strudel is a highlight, reminiscent of homemade goodness. The friendly and professional staff add to the pleasant experience. While the pastry selection may lack some finesse, the cakes remain a draw, with a lovely European-style flair. Customers praise the pastries for their delicious taste, with the sponge cake being moist and flavorful, and the strudel soft and flaky, perfectly balanced in flavor without being too sweet. The shop has been around since 1948 and offers an experience that feels nostalgic and authentic. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful, making every visit enjoyable. Overall, Lutz Bakery is highly recommended for its amazing pastries and cakes, offering a taste of something special that keeps customers coming back.
