I was out for an early morning walk and decided to drop in. I didn’t research it, I just decided it was along my path and I would drop in. Glad I did. Marina's is a special place with fantastic baked goods and excellent service. If you do go here this will be your new favorite café, cake, and pastry stop.

Hi John,
It means a lot to know you discovered us by chance and left with a new favorite spot.
Many thanks from all of us at Marina's German Bakery
i was expecting something German - like German sausages, German cheese, German cakes. but disappointment.
i don't know why they don't have a menu. i don't know what's available. then idk why they have some Danishes, they look a Danish to me. i know that Danishes are made similar to croissants. and yet, they don't make their own croissants which reminds me of Costco croissants.

RECOMMEND!!!! Its so cute inside!! It smells soo good and everyone is super friendly!!!! I felt so comfortable being there!!! So inviting!! Has seats as well to sit and enjoy!!!
First of all, this used to be a great place, but I’d have say some of the staffs attitude makes it real hard to ever come back, they are rude and treat you as if it’s a bother

Tengan cuidado en el estacionamiento ya que esta una barra de concreto amarilla pero esta mal colocada y yo me estaciones y topo cln l a defensa y cuando salí de reversa sele cayó uffff pinche coraje
Marinas has been a life long favorite- yet I’m finding I may have to stop going. The last two times have been disastrous. My husband got eclairs. One was so bad he couldn’t eat it. The filling was separated and foul. I ALWAYS get the same cookies. They’re usually soft and amazing. This time they’re hard. With hard chunks inside. Disappointed and unsure if we can continue to be patrons.

Deanna,
We’re truly sorry your recent visits weren’t up to the standard you count on from us. Your feedback matters deeply, and we’re working hard to make things right.
Sincerely, The Marina's German Bakery Team
Our family has been driving from the Northeast to pick up loafs of Medium Rye from Marina's for many years now. I figured I would leave a nice review and just say if you have a German heritage this is probably the best place in town to find all your bakery needs. All the pastries are amazing, although I wish they sold more pretzels at times. Finding all the German cold cuts in El Paso to accompany the bread has been a challenge though, they become harder to find each year, but it is what it is. Thank you always for the amazing bread!

Chris,
It means a lot that your family keeps making the trip for our bread, and we’re so glad you feel at home here.
With gratitude, all of us at Marina's German Bakery
My mother and I visited Marina's German Bakery for the first time today and it was amazing. The food was so good and so fresh! We have been looking for a good bakery here in El Paso for a while and today we found it. Growing up in Germany puts a lot of the bakery items at Marina's to the test, but they all passed with flying colors!
Thank you for giving my mother and I an nostalgic experience!
Sincerely,
Stephanie
