Hi ihoyos,
The Take Ten Snack Bar was co-located with the PX (Post Exchange - shopping for US military personnel).
The building is now occupied by the Cafe Forstner at Weihnachtsshuetzenplatz 1.
I will post some more photos later.

I recall buying very cheaply, boxes of King Edward cigars from the Berchtesgaden PX in the 1970's. We had to be issued with permits as we were visiting military, based at Strub kaserne.

Thanks, Prosper. Indeed, the Cafe Forstner is a very good place for a good inexpensive lunch, when you're on the go in Berchtesgaden.

Some more photos of the Take Ten here:
