Schmalznudel — Cafe Frischhut

This traditional Bavarian cafe with a pleasant little terrace out the front is best known for its fried dough of various shapes and sizes. The krapfen and strietzel are both solid choices and the plum noodles are an interesting addition to an otherwise uncomplicated menu. Cafe Frischut has been run by the Frishut family for over 50 years so one would assume they know what they are doing.
