Not the BEST Schneeballs in Rothenburg, but certainly the most various. If you have never had a Schneeball before, my recommendation is as follows: Go across the street and buy one of the marzipan or nougat filled ones from Zuckerbackerei. Their dough is a bit less dry and a bit more flavourful (though the dough being crunchy, dry, and a little bland is part of what a Schneeball *is*. ), and the filing makes for a better first impression. Then, if you like them, come back here. The variety of flavours are wonderful! As for me, I like drier, crunchier pastries, and the Schneeball is my absolute favorite, so needless to say: this store is my personal heaven. I love all the different liquor filled ones. In particular, I find the Eilikor to be the best. For non-alcoholic balls, the caramel filled ones are very good, and the new addition of the lemon-cream filled one is also fantastic. The Pistachio ones don't have a very strong flavour to them, so I wouldn't recommend them, and the Bailey's is also pretty weak, but still tasty. The prices, depending on the ball, are around 3.80€, which is reasonable. The service, for take out at least, is very good, and I've always been met with cheerful employees. The atmosphere is nothing special, but you can sit in the cafe and get a coffee to go with your Schneeball if you want.

Rothenburg o.d Tauber is one of my favorite places to visit. This time my wife and I decided to try a new Cafe for the usual Schneeball which Rothenburg is famous for. We happened upon this one and found it to be very nice. The Schneeball was excellent as well as the coffee. The cafe was well lit, very clean and nicely decorated. I think I will be coming back hear again! Try the Butter Schneeball it is so good.
