Albatross Bäckerei

Sourdough, rye and French-style pastries in the Graefekiez, shaped by hand and delivered by cargo bike.

Albatross on Graefestraße started in 2016, first with sourdough bread. Behind the bakery are friends from Denmark, Australia and England. At first their pastries were only available in selected restaurants and cafés; in mid-2018 their own shop in the Graefekiez followed. Flour and butter are local, and deliveries go out by cargo bike.

The recipes follow French models with a twist of their own. Next to sourdough and hearty rye, the display holds croissants and pain au chocolat, pastries with seasonal fruit or savoury toppings, and Breton butter cake. Bread, rolls and pastries are shaped and baked by hand. You order at the counter, and the small café area is separated from the bakery only by a curtain. Open daily from 8 am.
