The world's most beautiful barking, founded in 1880, is full of Villeroy & Boch tiles. A visit is worth a visit! On the first floor, a more modern café serves specialities from the store. A report in your suitcases: the famous know of milk, a tradition of the house since its opening.

Located in an old pharmacy (the inscription "Apotheke" is intact on the outside), this coffee and chocolate lounge is original to say the least: the chocolates are placed in the old drawers that used to contain medicines. The most greedy will quickly be tempted by the different varieties of chocolate that can be tasted individually. Perfect to accompany your coffee! Most people come to Winterfeldtplatz on Saturdays during the market on Winterfeldtplatz, or at brunch time on Sundays. The place is not lacking in charm with all its wood panelling.

This Schokoladenhaus (chocolate house) is the obligatory address for cocoa lovers. At the top of the top chocolate makers, Rausch (confectioner since 1918) is known throughout Germany. On the ground floor, all kinds of chocolates and pralines await you as well as chocolate sculptures depicting Berlin monuments! It's like being in Charlie & and the Chocolate Factory! The house also has a café on the second floor from where you have a superb view of the Deutscher Dom at the Gendarmenmarkt. Perfect for a gourmet break.

There are fruits and vegetables, but also typical objects of the region.

One of the city's finest bakeries. The family-run business has several shops, one of which is ideally located in the Bertoldstraße, a main street which runs between the train station and the city centre of Freiburg. There is a wide range of organic breads: nut bread, potatoes, seeds, gluten-free… The shop also offers brötchen (traditional rolls), sweets and propositions proposals. The love of bread is not limited to France, and in Germany bakeries are more than mere shops where bread is sold. In fact, they are also places where the premises are being affluent at midday, to eat at a lower cost. It is therefore no surprise that the bakery offers sandwiches, pizzettes, and other salty snacks in number, on site or to take. This is the opportunity to discover the vollkornbrot, understand bread bread complete but also the dinkelbrot, bread flour that we love. Special attention is given to the selection of raw materials used and to the traditional manufacture of bread and that feels. You can also know the composition of all the breads offered by referring to the labels in front of them. We particularly love this bakery whose products breathe quality and the "home made" for honourable prices.

If you are looking for high quality products from Italy at a good price, you are in the right place. This small supermarket breathes Italy, products to the accents of the team, everything is authentic. Here you will find fresh meats and various Italian cheeses, all kinds of fresh and dry pasta (even gluten-free!), preparations for risotto, gressins, wine, mixed condiments but also antipasti and fresh fruit and vegetables. If the décor is modest enough, everything breathes quality. If this has given you hunger, you will be able to enjoy excellent pizzas on site or to take away. The dough is remarkable, fine and crisp. Garnitures are generous and of rare quality. Are there pizzas? Yes, but also pasta, salads, risottos and other traditional Italian dishes, which change according to the wishes and all the delicious ones. Let the waiter sing you the card (exclusively in Italian), order at the counter and install around one of the many black wooden tables. The hotel is a friendly and friendly atmosphere. You will be advised about everything that revolves around seafood, the specialties of the house. The quantities are fair, the perfect seasonings, the impressive quality. Here you will not hesitate to offer luxury products such as lobster, crab or truffles. And you'd be wrong to get away from it because doses are far from homeopathic, all at perfectly acceptable prices. For all your desires from Italy to Black Forest, this is where it happens.

A Franco-Israeli bakery? The combination may be surprising, but the result is astounding. Israeli-born Erez Pintok learned the art of pastry-making in Paris before opening his own bakery in Berlin with his wife Hilla Sasson in 2022. The house specialty: brioches filled with crème pâtissière or mousseline combined with a variety of delights: caramelized pistachio paste, apple jam, milk chocolate... Despite the small selection of brioches, the choice is far from easy at Madame Paloma.

Anyone who knows Berlin knows how to get angry with local bakeries and their cardboard rolls. The famous schrippe, the most consumed white bread, suffer from a bad image, but fortunately all those who stay in Friedrichshain escape this ordeal and will benefit from the schrippe of Baumann. There are, of course, all sorts of favourite German breads: complete breads, cumin au, schusterjunge, and sandwichs sandwiches and omelet, for the sake of the workers, students and all residents of the neighborhood.

The ideal big store…

If you come on a very hot day, you might see a long queue in front of this very popular ice cream parlour in the neighbourhood; because in summer, Germans love ice cream. At Berlin Homemade Icecream (the name says it all), you'll find delicious homemade ice creams made on the spot, without preservatives or chemical colourings; sugar, cream, fruit and water! This little shop has won over the Schöneberg families. Among the original flavours: blueberry cream or roasted almonds for example!

Germans love ice cream and in summer you will often see long tails forming in front of the various glaciers in the city. This small Berlin company serves delicious home-made ice cream to take away in several outlets throughout the city, Mitte, Wedding, Friedrichshain and of course here in Neukölln. This lively address on Weserstraße is well known to families in the area. Among the original perfumes: Persian pistachios, Madagascar vanilla, Ceylon cinnamon, caramel and fleur de sel.

Berlin does not shine with its pastry creations... except at Princess Cheesecake, where the cakes are of a finesse that has nothing to envy to Pierre Hermé or Ladurée! A fine selection of teas and coffees in this small tea room with tastefully old-fashioned furniture reminiscent of Marie-Antoinette's elegant candy boxes. Located just a few steps from the Museum Island, don't hesitate to stop there after a visit to fill up on carbohydrates and why not try a cheesecake? Nice tables on the street in summer.

This sign offers a trip around the world through its 30,000 references. From exotic tea to spices to natural cosmetics, candles and other deco or gift objects, this plant house offers 600 m ² of shopping ideas. This boutique also offers a catering service. For breakfast, dinner or taste, the sign satisfies the small hollows at any time of the day and does not lack imagination by multiplying theme meals.

Kehl is a pleasant place to shop and walk. During your walk, also plan a relaxing break at Eiscafé Italia. This family establishment serves high-end ice cream specialities made on site. They are made with quality products, according to personal recipes. In other words, the products are fresh and delicious. The cuts are generous and well presented. Of course, you can also have drinks, cold and hot, and a small sweet or salty snack. The atmosphere is warm and simple, and the spacious terrace is particularly appreciated. The maps are translated into French.

Zeit für Brot is a bit like Berlin's bakery 2.0, rather expensive, trendy, very busy. Not only is the setting bright, clean and welcoming, but the breads and pastries are above all delicious. Try their Zimtschnecke (a kind of cinnamon bun) and their nut bread. Even their simplest Käsedings (a crusty bread with cheese) is a treat. There are four more Zeit für Brot bakeries in Berlin: Eberswalder Straße 26, Weinsbergsweg 2, Alte Schönhauser Straße 4 and Savignyplatz 9.

This pretty covered market is just like the neighborhood: good, organic and bobo. You can find good products there, among the stands of fruits and vegetables, fresh meat or fish or world specialities (excellent stand of Spanish delicatessen, Greek specialities... and there is even a Breton stand for those who would miss pancakes and galettes terribly!). The prices are quite high, but the quality of the products is there. You can sit down for a delicious snack, or in the summer go and sit on the terrace

Waffles are everywhere in Germany, but the ideal waffle is something else! The Traum Waffel proposes a rather original concept: compose the waffle of your dreams! Customers are given a card with various boxes to tick: chocolate, Kinder, apple, whipped cream, banana... over fifty choices of ingredients! To accompany this slightly regressive delight, the café also offers a fine selection of coffees and gourmet drinks. A not-to-be-missed address for fans of sweet treats!

Candy lovers and other gourmands should visit this confectionery in the Heckmannhöfe. Here you can see how these little delicacies are made by hand and choose from a wide and varied range of products. We particularly recommend the Maiblätten and Feuerhimbeeren. The owner will demonstrate his skills at 2 and 4 p.m., explaining all the steps, giving you plenty of time to salivate. But be patient, because there's a bonus tasting at the end!

If the visit of the castle has upset your stomach, you can take a short break in this bakery-pastry shop five minutes away on foot, which has a small terrace on sunny days. There's just about everything you need for a snack or to satisfy yourself without breaking the bank: coffee, ice cream, bread, cold drinks and cakes galore. If you're in a salty mood, try their focaccias: they're tasty and very affordable.
