The best bakeries in Berlin
Croissants, sourdough, buns and everything that makes mornings dangerously good.
Our current picks
Sometimes getting up early is worth it.
AERA
AERA branch on Rosenthaler — same gluten-free range as Charlottenburg, the compact Mitte variant without the courtyard.
AERA
Ava Celik’s AERA — gluten-free sourdough manufactory open since 2018 on Fasanenstraße, with a green inner courtyard.
AKKURAT Café
Specialty-coffee café in Kreuzberg with Nano Kaffee beans, a weekly rotating lunch menu with a fixed sandwich line and rotating works from local artists.
Albatross Bäckerei
Artisan bakery in Graefekiez with house sourdough, kouign-amann, babka and sandwiches on thick slices of bread. Bakehouse behind a curtain.
Aleppo Supper Club (take away)
Syrian-Levantine cooking on Rigaer Straße, largely vegan, take-away with a few seats — makluba, hummus, makdous.
Ari's
Peruvian diner in a converted garage near Görli — pancakes, chopped cheese and house aji sauces out of Lima DNA. Walk-in only.
BEN RAHIM Berlin
Tunisian-Arabic specialty coffee bar in the Hackesche Höfe with sand-brewed ibrik, single-origin filter and filled croissants.
Bar Basta
From Lobb pop-up to permanent: Caecilia Baldszus and Arash Ghassemi’s two-shift takeover of Casa Camper, on Weinmeisterstraße.
Beuster
Bar in the Reuterkiez: French classics like moules frites and tartare, aperitivi and highballs as a programme of their own, weekend brunch.
Bonanza Coffee Heroes
Third-Wave-pioneer flagship on Oderberger: curated origins, direct contact with farmers instead of a Fair-Trade label.
Boutique de LA MAISON
French boutique bakery with an open workshop behind glass — croissants, pain au chocolat, baguettes and Paris Brest in Kreuzberg.
Cafe Restaurant Manzini
Café-restaurant on Ludwigkirchstraße — Viennese coffee-house charm, white tablecloths, all-day menu with breakfast, pasta and Wiener Schnitzel.
