Berlin's oldest Konditorei, founded in 1852, on the Spree embankment between Hansaviertel and Moabit since 1904.

Inside: ornamental wallpaper, creaking parquet floors, no music. The house signature is Baumkuchen — with chocolate glaze or thin fondant, as a cake or dessert, year-round. Owner Andrea Tönges runs Buchwald in the fifth generation. A place that looks like it did a hundred years ago, and means it.
