About us
Three generations, one sourdough
Grandfather Alois Sonnleitner opened the bakery in 1971 and has kept his sourdough going every single day since. The same starter is still in every loaf of country bread today.
Today Martin Sonnleitner bakes the bread, and his sister Katrin, a master pastry chef, runs the cake workshop. The flour comes from a mill in the Mühlviertel, butter and quark from a dairy in the Innviertel.
- Sourdough since 1971
- Cakes made to your wishes
- Open Sundays from 7 am

Guest reviews
What our guests say
„Katrin took so much time for us at the tasting. The cake looked exactly like our sketch and was gone in half an hour.“
Andrea K.Wedding cakeReview on Google „The country loaf keeps for a week and tastes almost better toasted on day five. Since subscribing I don't buy any other.“
Stefan M.Bread subscriber since 2023Review on Google „Croissant and coffee are excellent, but the café corner is small. At half past seven you'll find a seat, at nine probably not.“
Petra L.Weekday breakfastReview on Google „Finally a bakery that's open on Sundays and still bakes everything itself. The walnut crescents are a reason to get up early.“
Jakub W.Sunday morningReview on Google „Two platters of filled rolls and petits fours for our away day, delivered on time and nicely arranged. The invoice came right along.“
Monika H.Office cateringReview on Google „The vegan chocolate apricot cake won over the non-vegans too. You really do need to order three days ahead, though.“

Frequently asked questions
Can’t find your question? Just give us a call.
+43 732 77 18 40- How far ahead do I need to order a cake?
- Three days are enough for cakes from our range, a week for themed cakes. Wedding cakes are best planned two to three months ahead.
- How does the bread subscription work?
- You choose the bread and pick-up day, and we put your loaf aside with your name every week. You pay monthly and can cancel at any time for the end of the month.
- Until when can I pre-order rolls?
- By 4 pm the day before, or by noon on Saturday for Sunday. Your order is then packed and waiting at the till from 6 am.
- Do you have gluten-free bread?
- Unfortunately not. There's flour in the air throughout our bakery, so we can't rule out traces of gluten. All allergens are listed for every product at the counter.
- Do you deliver?
- We deliver cakes and catering platters within Linz, free for orders from €80. Individual rolls are for collection only.
- Where can I park?
- There are four 15-minute short-stay spaces in front of the shop. The tram stop is a two-minute walk away.
We look forward to seeing you
Call or write to us and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.
