Patrons routinely venture into Helga's hidden alcove, located in Herkenrath
Helga Rappenhoener, a well-known baker in Bergisch Gladbach, has moved her popular bakery from Heidkamp to Herkenrath. The new location, previously a pharmacy, has been transformed into a bustling bakery and café, complete with a brand new neon sign at the entrance and the trademark pink colour that Helga's Bakery is known for.
The move was necessitated when Rappenhoener's lease was not renewed in Heidkamp. Despite this setback, she has managed to maintain a loyal customer base, with many regulars from Heidkamp now visiting the new bakery in Herkenrath. Ute and Klaus Siefer, regular customers from Immekeppel, have already paid a visit, and Ralf Vollmer, a regular customer, was warmly welcomed at the new location.
The retail space in Herkenrath was purchased by Rappenhoener, and the bakery and café offer significantly more space for café tables. The bakery and café have been open for a few days and are already busy, with customers ordering baked goods, sandwiches, or coffee to go.
In addition to the own branch, Helga's Bakery supplies various institutions, cafés, and hotels. Rappenhoener has moved her team from Heidkamp to the new location in Herkenrath, and she has four bakers employed in the bakery in Schildgen, where all products are baked.
Since 2020, Helga's Bakery has become a popular meeting point beyond the neighbourhood, and the outdoor seating area is set to open in summer. Regular customers have praised the family-like atmosphere at the bakery, and Rappenhoener's dedication to quality and service has ensured that her bakery continues to thrive in its new location.
