Who we are

Two Bakers - one Tradition - a small German Bakery in Goa

​

Bakery Pausenbrot was born out of a simple frustration: we couldn't find real bread in Goa.Not the kind of bread we had on our vacations back in Germany — thick, dark, slow-fermented sourdough with a crust you have to work for and a crumb that keeps you full for hours. The kind of bread that makes a Tuesday morning feel like a Sunday. So we got us an oven and started baking. That was in 2020. Today Bakery Pausenbrot is Goa's home for authentic German sourdough — baked fresh every morning in our open-air live bakery in Benaulim, South Goa. We use only certified organic flour, never add preservatives, and cold-ferment every loaf for up to 36 hours. Everything is made from scratch, every single day. Beyond the bread, we serve specialty coffee from the hills of Sakleshpur in Karnataka, homemade hibiscus lemonade, Kombucha, a full sandwich menu inspired by German school days, and a rotating selection of German pastries.

We also run a weekly Friday delivery basket — fresh bread, imported cheese and homemade preserves, delivered within 5 km of Benaulim every Friday evening.
