Café 44 (Wattenwil)

The Bakery-Confectionery Ernst is us, Rita and Markus Ernst with our team.

Founded in January 2002 - we took over the Bakery in Riggiberg from the Leuenberger family - we are a typical small business. What makes us unique is our commitment to regionality and thus to the beautiful Gantrisch region. For this reason our motto is: "The best of the region".

Our day's work begins early in the morning, because it is a pleasure to delight our customers from 6 am with fresh Gipfeli, Brötli, Brotten, Sandwiches, Salads, Birchermüesli, Coffee and many other delicious products. This is a demanding job that we and our motivated team pursue every day with love, joy and passion for the craft. Our goal is to spoil our customers - from early in the morning until closing time.

Due to the fact that our products are made fresh daily and in small quantities in a 100% artisan manner, minor variations in shape, color and size are possible. It is at the same time the confirmation that the products are made in our own factory and are not uniform mass products.

Products

• Bakery Bread from Beck Ernst - a special treatThe bakery team produces a wide range of breads for you every day - from "temptingly tender" to "chüschtig-rustic". Tasty, fresh, natural.

  Here we present some of our specialties, including certified products of the Gantrisch region as well as breads made from original spelt flour - but nothing replaces a visit "bim Beck" - a scent says more than 1,000 words!

  Ernst home and Fyrabigbrot

  Chnusperbrot Our "Fyrabig" bread: Our crispy bread is made from wheat and rye flour - and its name says it all. Fresh daily, available for you from 4 pm.

  Castle Bread A dark bread, made with little yeast. The dough has 24 hours to develop its wonderful aroma. The bread is well baked and has a nice browning, making it crispy on the outside and deliciously moist on the inside.

  Certified breads of the Gantrisch region

  Western Bread The Westernbrot - a certified product of the Gantrisch region - is our house bread. The flour mixture used has been produced according to our own recipe for more than 30 years. A proportion of rye flour gives the Westernbrot its special taste. The Westerbrot does not contain any grains.

  Gantry plait A wonderful butter plait with ingredients from the region - flour, milk, butter and eggs are sourced from suppliers we know personally - this gives confidence. Our Gantrischzopf is also a certified product of the Gantrisch region.

  Gantrischbrot This product - also a certified product of the Gantrisch Region - is made exclusively with flour, meal, yogurt and butter from the region.

  UrDinkel breads

  Primal Spelt Yoghurt Bread The spelt yogurt bread is made with spelt flour, linseed and fresh yogurt. A particularly tasty bread - a pleasure at any time of day.

  Orgin Spelt Wholemeal Bread The very dark, aromatic rye spelt bread tastes excellent. Made with a so-called Brühstück, a lot of liquid is bound - this ensures that the bread is moist for a long time and therefore has a particularly good shelf life.

  Rye Spelt Plait Fully in trend - Our spelt plait is made from spelt flour and convinces with its tender crumb and its unique appearance. It is baked and sold in a chip basket.

  Monthly breads - discover new every month

  Chiabread Full of trend: Chia seeds are planted in Paraguay and Mexico, among other places, and were staple food and remedy of the ancient Mayas in one. With their high content of antioxidants, calcium, potassium, iron, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, chia seeds belong to the so-called "superfoods".
  Due to the fact that the dough lies for a long time, the latter has the opportunity to absorb enough moisture. The chia seeds are not disturbing when eating.

• Pastry Tarts and pâtisserie - Ernst, more than "just" breadWe make a variety of tarts and pâtisserie every day - seasonal products, popular classics, regional specialties and much more!

  Cakes and pâtisserie

  Banana Split We owe this product to a particularly creative co-worker. Made from biscuit, cream, banana flavoring and fine liquid chocolate a special treat.

  Crème slice by the meter Crème slices for special occasions - why not? Our crème slices are garnished according to your wishes. Our packaging with visible fenestration ensures that the crème slice can be transported optimally and is an eye-catcher.
