Sweet Treats and Desserts in Berlin
By Jessica Traupe

Craving sugar? We hear you! Sometimes the need for a sweet treat is almost overwhelming and you just really need to grab… well, what really? Berlins has a lot to offer: patisseries, chocolateries, ice cream parlours, bakeries… from mousse to muffin and cupcake to croissant, it’s hard to decide when everything is available.

Traditionally, Berlin is famous for a dessert called “Berliner Luft” (= berlin air), which is just a combination of three layers of colourful jelly. Very popular is also “Kalter Hund” (= cold dog), a dessert made from chocolate cream and plain biscuits.

However, if you feel like trying something a little more fancy, go and indulge with one of our recommendations.

Happy Ending

In classical music, a little extra melody at the end of the piece is called “coda” and meant to be a beautiful and sometimes unexpected ending. Coda Dessert Bar has been named after this, as it does the same: provide a sweet little surprise to finish off a lovely meal. It is located in Neukölln and the beautiful website alone will make your mouth water. Their exquisite combinations combine unique flavours like hazelnut, plum, chocolate and even charcoal. A great choice of wines and whiskys rounds off the menu – and your evening.

Cupcake heaven

The Nikolai quarter next to Alexanderplatz is historic and looks like a small village nestled in between the buzzing TV tower area and the Spree river. It is so special and beautiful we just had to team up with a café there so you will know where to stop when sightseeing there. Tigertörtchen is famous for their homemade cupcakes, which are available in mini sizes too so you can try more. Find out all about it here.
