Germany-Munich-Oktoberfest; Café Mohrenkopf dessert tent; restaurant review

Café Mohrenkopf dessert tent at Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany

Who knew? There are dessert tents at Oktoberfest! But this is the only café-tent with its own bakery, where all of its cakes and pies have been baked since 1950. The specialty is Mohrenkopf, a small chocolate-glazed cream cake, and the Dallmayr coffee they serve is one of Germany’s best. Fresh pretzels and cocktails are also available. Breakfast is served from 9 a.m., Happy Hour is from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., and a band begins playing at 7 p.m.
