Wilkommen to Kohnen’s authentic
German Bakery, Cafe and Grocery!
Kohnen’s Country Bakery, located in historic downtown Tehachapi, California, is a delightful contemporary German bakery designed with Old World Charm.
Honoring his German food traditions, baker Thomas Kohnen makes every batch from scratch – including some 20 varieties of artisan breads dense with whole grains, full flavors, and crisp crusts. Kohnen’s offers fresh bread baked daily, including crusty rye, basil-barley garden, six-grain, sun dried tomato, delicate cinnamon raisin, and even pizza bread, not to mention pretzels, boiled-then-baked bagels and Brötchen – traditional, crusty German breakfast rolls.
Desserts are gorgeous and irresistable, too. A few temptations are cinnamon crisps, apricot-walnut kalachies and espresso chocolate chip cookies. The cafe also serves fresh-made soups and sandwiches using Kohnen’s breads for take-out, dining inside or on the patio.
Oktoberfest
Each year Kohnen’s Country Bakery celebrates Oktoberfest with a big outdoor event, usually in September before the mountain weather turns too cold.
Celebrate with us under the tent with tasty bratwurst dinners, strudel, pretzels, German bier (beer), live polka music and dancing, door prizes, German collectibles, and a costume contest for the best lederhosen!
