Delicious baked goods - Edit
Delicious italian baked goods that you can't find anywhere else. We chose the Box of 4 goods for about 15€ and loved everything. I liked the savoury options better than the sweet stuff, but thats just personal preference. Highly recommend going there, and go early for a wide selection.

Visit early for wide choice - Edit
Cute, small place serving interesting sweet pastries, a variety of hot drinks and foccacie, small pizza etc.
Read moreWe came in the afternoon so the sweet pastry selection was a bit limited. There were still three types of croissants (cornetto, although the size of croissants), and a couple of pastries. We enjoyed the something Napoletana most although the pear & hazelnut/chocolate biscuit was nice with the tasty coffee as well.
It’s compact with just a few seating options inside, so you may need to take out.
If you are in/near Prenzlauer Berg, check out there other location in Malmoer Str.

Do not miss! Delicious Sicilian pastries - Edit
I love finding niche vegan places, and bonus points when they turn out to be amazing. The Sanctuary is a small cozy bakery with so many fresh & delicious looking pastry options - savory and sweet. If only we could have tried more! Everything we tried was wonderful, from the cream cheese focaccia (not too greasy, very flavorful) to the chocolate cornetto (so nice and crispy) with an amazing chocolate cream. This is rivaled only by my favorite Brooklyn pastry shop.

Must see while in Berlin! - Edit
The sanctuary was an incredible Italian vegan bakery! The people working were super kind and welcoming. The pastries were amazing and I went back every single morning that I was in Berlin. The focaccia variations were absolutely incredible for any savoury food lover like myself. This was the perfect combination, nice savoury meal then a delicious, fresh pastry to follow! Their cappuccinos were great too! Amazing little bakery! You’re missing out if you haven’t stopped by!

Lovely bakery - Edit
Small italian bakery with a huge variety of selfmade goods. Had a hot chocolate, a crossiant filled with a white chocolate cream and raspberries as well as a onion foccacia. The filling and the crossiant itself were delicous. The foccacia was pretty fluffy and tasty

A true bakery heaven! - Edit
I already had high expectations, but I never imagined it would be this good. Phenomenally delicious! Both the sweet and savory options were a delight. The regular croissant, with its light, buttery layers, was perfection, and the pistachio pastry - wow, I’m blown away. The pizza slices, one with onions and the other with cheese, were equally fantastic. There’s still so much I want to try!

Everything is great! - Edit
We had a normal croissant, which was good, however, it was nothing compared to the pistachio piece, and the pizza was delicious too. All in all, I can really recommend it, and it wasn’t too expensive either.

Zero waste box - Edit
If you want to try a few different of their vast array of offerings at a discount, go with the zero waste box. You pick four pastries (sweet and savory options) that were made the day before and pay 6 euros. What a deal! I got two sweet and two savory: girella nocciola (hazelnut), cornetto white choco & raspberry, focaccia salsiccia e friarielli, and baresina con olive. All were very satisfying! I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in Berlin.

Spettacolo - Edit
Le paste sono buonissime, con un impasto veramente soffice e buono.
Read moreLe ragazze all'interno sono italiane, perlomeno quelle con cui ho parlato io e sono molto gentili e sorridenti.
Una pasta costa quasi 5€, prezzo che secondo me ci sta tutto per esempio per le girelle al pistacchio o nocciola - enormi e super ripiene - ma anche no per un pezzo di pizza rossa, che normalmente in Italia costerebbe poco più di 1€.
Ovviamente parlo da genovese (non nel senso che sono tirchia 🤣 nel senso che per me è un prezzo assurdo e non ne vale la pena).
Si possono prendere 4 pezzi dolci e/o salati risparmiando qualcosina, oppure prendere una box con 4 pezzi del giorno prima a 6€ -ottima l'idea antispreco-.
Se siete a Berlino vale la pena andare perché i prodotti sono veramente buonissimi 😻

Vegan italian - Edit
Nice morning stopover! Focaccia with vegan sausage, coffee. Slightly expensive, but worth supporting vegan. I didn't find the staff impolite but rather quite friendly. If they had been able to heat up the focaccia, it would have been even better

One of the best pastries I ever ate - Edit
Love the pastries - but the people working here are often incredibly rude and the prices were raised by a lot, while the pastries got smaller and smaller. I still come once in a while - just because the pastries are literally incredible and also the savory options are delicious!

Heaven on heart - Edit
I stayed in Berlin for four days, and I came back here every morning except for Monday morning cause they were closed lol.
Read moreThe quality of this place is outstanding and I can t decide whether I prefer the sweet or the savory offer. The pastries are amazing, I was blown away by the pistachio cream in the girella and in the cannoncino, and the Choco cream in the Choco cornetto. Not to mention the savory offer...that salsiccia and patate and margherita brought me back to my summers in the south of Italy.
Absolutely amazing place
