From the Bakery to the Restaurant – The Story of KuchenRausch
What began as a small, lovingly run family bakery in the heart of Friedrichshain has grown into something more than just a place for sweet treats: today, KuchenRausch also stands for classic dishes of German-Swiss cuisine made with heart.
For over 15 years, we have been delighting our guests with handmade cakes, tortes, and pastries crafted from the finest regional ingredients. Our passion for traditional craftsmanship and our desire to make people happy through good food inspired us to expand our culinary offerings.
Today, our restaurant combines the art of traditional baking with hearty, warming classics from German and Swiss cuisine. Whether it’s tender Zurich-style sliced veal, flavorful cheese spaetzle, or homemade boiled beef (Tafelspitz) – we always put quality, regionality, and taste first.
This is how KuchenRausch has grown – from a vision, from a deep love for detail, and from the desire to offer our guests not only the best from the bakery, but also from the kitchen.
Visit us in Schmargendorf and experience the special blend of sweet tradition and down-to-earth culinary craftsmanship – we look forward to welcoming you!
