Ava Celik opened AERA on Fasanenstraße in Charlottenburg in 2018 as a bread manufactory and café, after spending two years on a gluten-free sourdough recipe following her own celiac diagnosis — today with a second branch in Mitte, both in the blue-Nordic Modiste design.

The Mitte branch on Rosenthaler is the compact variant — same product range, blue interior, but no courtyard. On the menu: sourdough breads, sandwiches, brownies. The pick stays the bread: two years of recipe work taste through in Mitte too. Card payments only.
