Anna Blume
Where flowers, cakes and poetry mingle harmoniously... Berliners love their bounteous breakfasts as much as their afternoon Kaffee und Kuchen - and any establishment that can offer both is justly venerated. So it is with Anna Blume, a Prenzlauer Berg institution that manages to combine a florist, bakery and cafe with impressive fluidity. Interior designer Thomas Seiffert has made good use of the fact the venue was named after a 1919 Kurt Schwitters poem: lines from the surrealist [...]
Kollwitzplatz Farmers Market
A popular weekly farmers market in Prenzlauer Berg's pretty Kollwitzplatz Kollwitzplatz is today one of Prenzlauer Berg’s best-known and (arguably) most attractive squares.

Kiezkind (Kiez is German for neighbourhood; Kind means child) [...]
Goldhahn & Sampson
Slow Food deli raises the bar in Helmholtzplatz... Goldhahn & Sampson is a deli-cum-Slow Food haven located on the Dunckerstr. side of Helmholtzplatz in Prenzlauer Berg. Run by the amiable Sascha and Andreas, this Aladdin’s cave for Foodies offers everything from “slow and conventional food: far flung and local, fancy bling as well as down-to-earthness”. That means you get champagne as well as bratwurst, luxury Sake alongside organic lentils and esoteric Caribbean spices as well as [...]
