Wiener Conditorei

What Wiener Conditorei does

Wiener Conditorei & Caffeehaus B- GmbH is a fourth-generation, family-owned traditional confectionery business headquartered in Berlin, Germany. Founded in 1928 by Adolf Otte near Schloss Charlottenburg, the company is led today by Managing Directors Manfred Otte and Maximilian Jansen, and operates three Viennese-style café locations across Berlin (Am Hagenplatz, Am Steubenplatz, Am Roseneck) alongside a self-pickup hub. Its product portfolio centers on three core categories — Torten (handcrafted cakes and tortes with over 100 varieties), Gebäck (Viennese and French patisserie, petit fours, cookies, and pastries), and Saisonware (seasonal items for Valentine's Day, Easter, Christmas, and Halloween) — supplemented by bespoke custom cake design, a Kuchen range of round and sheet cakes, breakfast menus, and a cake delivery service covering the Berlin metropolitan area and Brandenburg.

All products are handmade immediately before delivery or pickup using natural ingredients with no artificial flavors, colors, or chemical preservatives; production techniques are traditional recipes refined over four generations. The Roseneck location features a transparent 'glass production' viewing area that allows customers to observe cake and ice cream preparation, and the company sources ice cream from a third-party Berlin supplier, Florida Eis. There is no proprietary software platform; operations run on a Shopify-based e-commerce storefront, All-Inkl hosting, MailChimp email, Google Analytics/Ads/Tag Manager/Remarketing, Facebook Pixel, and a multi-provider payment stack (PayPal, Klarna, SOFORT, Shopify Payments, Amex, Mastercard, Visa).

The business model is direct-to-consumer with one-time transactional pricing in the €10–€30 per-unit range for catalog items and quote-based pricing for custom work. Revenue streams include retail cake/pastry sales, bespoke custom cakes for occasions (weddings, birthdays, corporate events, baptisms, communions, holidays), in-café dining and breakfast service, and Berlin-area cake delivery. Customers are primarily individual consumers purchasing for personal celebrations, with a secondary segment of corporate events; marketing is conducted via the website, email newsletter, Facebook, Instagram, TripAdvisor, and Google Ads. The company is privately held with no external institutional investors, parent company, or subsidiaries disclosed.

Core offering

Wiener Conditorei manufactures and sells handcrafted confectionery products including over 100 varieties of tortes, cakes, pastries, and seasonal baked goods, made from natural ingredients without artificial additives. The company operates three traditional Viennese-style café locations in Berlin where customers can dine on-site, plus an online shop offering cake ordering, bespoke custom cake design services for special occasions, and a courier cake delivery service within the greater Berlin metropolitan area.

Product overview

Wiener Conditorei is a traditional Viennese-style bakery and café group operating three café locations in Berlin (Am Hagenplatz, Am Steubenplatz, Am Roseneck), founded in 1928 and now in its fourth generation of the Otte family. The product portfolio centers on three core categories — Torten (handcrafted cakes/torts, over 100 varieties including cream tortes, Sachertorte, mousse tortes, and custom occasion cakes), Gebäck (handmade pastries including Viennese shortcrust, butter cookies, citrus pastries, Florentiner, almond tortellets, and petit fours), and Saisonware (seasonal and holiday-specialty products such as Valentine's heart pastries, Easter items, and Christmas lebkuchen and festive platters). Supporting the three core product lines are custom cake design services (Individuelle Tortenanfertigungen) for bespoke occasion cakes, a broad Kuchen programme (cheesecake, Marzipankuchen, Rahmkuchen, chocolate cake, Baumkuchen, and more in round and sheet formats), Wiener Desserts and French Patisserie offerings, and a cake delivery service for the Berlin metropolitan area with self-pickup options. The company also operates café services at three Berlin locations offering in-store dining with coffee, breakfast, and Wiener classics menus. All products are handmade using natural ingredients without artificial flavors, colors, or chemical preservatives, and are produced shortly before delivery or pickup.
