Bâlehoo

The line that extends out the door should be your tip-off: head to Gilgen for some of the best pastries in Basel. The selection at this Bäckerei-Konditorei is as broad as it is tasty. Try a triangular-shaped jelly donut called a daeschli or enjoy their version of an Entenmann’s crumb cake - the individual size of this irresistable treat is called a streusseli. Don’t miss Gilgen’s chocolate croissant (”schoggi gipfeli”), which is as light as air. And when the strawberries are in, run - don’t walk - for a taste of their scrumptious strawberry tarts. In addition to their exceptional pastries, Gilgen also sells fresh bread and chocolates. Closed Sunday.
