The smell, taste and feel of Europe

In Germany, you'd go to a Bäckerei for your bread, a Konditorei for cakes and tortes, and a Gasthaus to sit down and eat. We put all three under one roof on College Street.

Silke's is a favorite of our ladies' group. Delicious sandwiches, German breakfast plates, and even pizza are on the menu. The pastries are delicious, light, and varied, and they even have gluten-free options. Super nice staff will attend to your culinary desires.
They have a separate enclosed dining area that can be reserved for events, and a kid-friendly play area. Love this place, and sure you will, too!

Wow, a taste of home here in Clarksville! I grew up with a grandmother who frequented German and Austrian bakeries, and this reminded me of my childhood. The cheese danishes, croissants, and streusel were all amazing. The coffee was pretty good too (the gingerbread latte was cute!).

Had an amazing lunch today with my sister and mother. I recently went vegan and was thrilled to see the variety of vegan-friendly goodies! Went with a vegan burger, side salad, and Silke's Old World Blend. Everything tasted absolutely phenomenal!

Silke's has a very warming atmosphere and is beautifully decorated. I'd also love to mention how friendly everyone is. Many thanks to the lovely ladies that helped us today! Best customer service I've had in ages! I left more than satisfied and will definitely be coming back often.

Silke's is one of the very few restaurants in Clarksville that are truly worth every penny I spend there. Her recipes are fresh and unique while still sticking to her German heritage.

The employees at Silke's are always delightful and smiling. The decor is very smartly done- offering local artists a venue in which to sell their work while decking the walls with glorious art of varying styles. But my favorite thing about dining at Silke's is the vast vegetarian menu. I try to eat here as often as I can!

The cafe reminded me of small cafes in Bavaria. The counter service was quick. There were all sorts of pastries to tempt you.

We stopped in for an early lunch. I had the Turkey & Cheese sandwich with a side of German potato salad. My dining partner had the schnitzel sandwich with a side of kraut. It was all very good.

Before leaving, I bought bread to take home, plus some apple and blueberry pastries.

Will definitely eat here again!

I have a gluten intolerance, and this place is a dream! I love getting sandwiches, pizzas, desserts, and lattes. The food is always a 10/10! You can also order gluten-free sandwich bread from their bakery next door. It is moist and so tasty. I even love eating it as is, without fixings or toasting.
