She also enjoys feeding military service members and their families who have fond memories of being stationed in Deutschland – as well as those who are discovering German food and hospitality for the first time. And, of course, everyone else who gets hooked and becomes a repeat customer. "e customers have been very supportive, especially during COVID," she says, "coming in and making sure we didn't have to shut down. And my girls, my employees, who have been with me for years … they're the best." We hear her joy when talking about 10 to-go breakfast sandwiches – bacon, egg and cheese on brötchen – for the folks at a nearby car dealership. "ey're good customers," she says, smiling. e brötchen were made with love that morning by Nadine Dobeneck, who arrives at the crack of dawn to prepare select goods for the day. Dobeneck is the longtime head baker – and Volcy's daughter. Before the first customer walks in the door, the filled bakery cases tell the story: perfectly aligned rows of apple strudel, linzer cookies, slices of German cheesecake, a regal Black Forest torte, and so much more. Over the past several years, Volcy has shared all of her recipes with Dobeneck and taught her how to prepare the main courses as well. ey both knew the day would arrive when the mother would pass the torch to her daughter. And now it is almost here. Volcy admits that, aer a lifetime of working in restaurants, she could use a break. Florida is calling. Destin, to be exact. Unlike other times when her Special Forces husband was stationed there, and she stayed behind to run the restaurant, Volcy will be relocating in April. She has every confidence that Dobeneck will take the torch and run with it. at means continued quality German favorites at value prices, no-nonsense and efficient service – and an atmosphere that's as warm and welcoming as Oma's dining room.
