DK Eyewitness "Traditional daytime café offering homemade pralines and cakes, as well as tasty meals. The kitchen closes at 7pm. Pretty courtyard and stunning conservatory."
Rough Guide "Munich is rather thin on grand old Kaffee und Kuchen places, but the Luitpold – where Thomas Mann and Henrik Ibsen were once customers – is one of the better offerings."

There is also a museum on the first floor from which you can see right into the bakery - make sure you try the tarts, pralines...
