DuVernois Lutz's Continental Bakery & Cafe, 1/2 bl west of Western on Montrose, north side of street. The place is very expensive, but you can definitely find fresh marzipan there, along with wonderful tortes and pastries... plus an eat-in cafe with European hot chocolate, Vienese coffee served with cream and whipped cream... home made ice cream in hazelnut, raspberry and other unusual flavors, liquers, pate's and other European delicacies. The accent is definitely Bavarian.
