We booked our stay months in advance, and after regularly staying at the Enzian for well over a decade, I had certain expectations of our stay that I look forward to. One of those being the amazingly, exceptionally delicious Bavarian Rolls they serve at breakfast. Our first morning there I went to the pastry table and noticed they weren't there. I figured since it's a slow time of year they may rotate them out and they would be there the next day. However, I asked a worker and they said they didn't serve them anymore, but she would talk to her supervisor to see what they could do. I can't tell you the extreme sadness and grief that came over me thinking that one of my favorite things about this Inn was no longer going to be an experience I would have. The next day I went up to breakfast and this time I got to meet one of the kitchen staff, Ms Lee. She informed me why they no longer serve them. (Thank you covid for destroying something else for our nation). The pastry that they used to make the Bavarian Rolls was no longer available. They tried a different pastry, very similar, but the baking time would not allow complete and thorough cooking of the cream in side without burning the pastry They substituted jam but apparently management felt that wasn't authentic. She said she thought they had some in the back that were frozen, and she would get them out and have them for me the next day. Now we're on the third morning. I went up to breakfast and there they were! I was so excited! Ms Lee came by our table later and brought some rolls that she had set aside just for our family. She asked how we liked them, and we said why don't they serve these? They're amazing! They don't have to be Bavarian Rolls, Enzian could serve these as their own special pastry. Ms Lee suggested the name the Enzian Rolls. To which I said that's absolutely perfect! And let me just say, yes it's not the cream filled pastry, but the pastry with the jam is very delightful and it's something I hope that management would seriously consider making part of the staple of the breakfast pastries at the Enzian Inn; to which so many guests have become accompanied to experiencing during their stay. Thank you, Ms Lee, for making my/our stay so wonderful! I can't tell you, with some serious family losses these last several months, the anticipation of having a few days in Leavenworth at the Enzian Inn was something I definitely needed for mental health and rejuvenation. But knowing that I would possibly never have those delicious Rolls again was devastating, but you made sure our family had that wonderful experience! Please, please Enzian management make these part of the staple pastry table for the Enzian Inn breakfast and call them the Enzian Roll as a fitting celebration of the years of hospitality and great customer service we've always found at the Enzian Inn.
