Family owned and operated since 1977, Swiss Pastries is a top European-style dessert bakery tucked away north of the Twinbrook Metro station. A wholesale bakery popular with caterers and hotels, it has no minimum order, insists owner Martha Hohl. Just call a day or two ahead and she and her sons Michael and John would be happy to craft a black forest cake, a box of Napoleons or a few spinach quiches.
A native German, Hohl's European-style baking (her husband Johann was trained in Switzerland) is popular among the Embassy crowd (Austria, Saudi Arabia, Finland and Hungary have placed orders recently), as well as with country clubs and party planners.

This Bakery discriminates against same gender partners. We had tasted a cake from this bakery and were excited to order a cake for our daughter's engagement party. We had a nice chat with the woman who took our order and gave her the names and message we requested for the cake for 50 people. "To the Future", "Congratulations" and my daughter's name and her partners name. She took the order and then called us on the telephone to say they would not bake the cake for us. Although she said she felt badly about refusing, she would not bake the cake. This experience was painful but we understand that the world will change slowly one person at a time. We went to another Bakery and will spend our $$ there.
