Äss-Bar Bern

Äss-Bar Bern offers a unique, sustainable approach to acquiring baked goods in the heart of Bern. Operating from its cellar location on Marktgasse 19, Äss-Bar is dedicated to reducing food waste by rescuing surplus pastries and cakes from various local bakeries and food establishments. These perfectly edible items are then made available to the public at significantly reduced prices.

The story of Äss-Bar Bern is rooted in a powerful mission to combat food waste. Rather than operating as a traditional bakery that bakes custom items, Äss-Bar acts as a vital link in the food chain, rescuing perfectly edible bread, pastries, and cakes that would otherwise be discarded by other local establishments. Their philosophy centers on environmental sustainability and making quality food accessible by selling these surplus items at reduced prices. While they don't have a 'baker' in the traditional sense crafting signature wedding cakes, their 'signature style' is the diverse and ever-changing assortment of high-quality baked goods they save daily. Clients appreciate Äss-Bar for its commitment to sustainability, value, and the pleasant surprise of finding delicious treats while contributing to a good cause. They are celebrated for offering a responsible and affordable way to enjoy fresh-tasting pastries and bread.
