Aseli is a family-run business founded in 1921 that manufactures marshmallow animals in all shapes and forms. You might have seen white marshmallow mice before– this is where they were invented. Cooking, painting on the eyes and packaging is all done by hand in the small production facility.
Supermarkets around Berlin sometimes stock small packets of Aseli marshmallows, however the selection is usually pretty narrow. Not so in the factory outlet: in the small shop next to the production line you can buy all marshmallow animals currently in production in small packets or, for people with a sweet tooth like me, by the bucket. Check out their online shop if you don't believe me!
The factory outlet is in the far north of Berlin in a quiet area, so you will probably have to plan to go there specifically. It is only a short walk away from S-Bahn station Schönholz, though, which in turn is only a 23-minute journey away from the main station.

What makes them even more special is their friendly nature. On most days, you might run into their owner Jonathan, the heart and soul of the café. SPRO would not shine the same way without his thoughtfulness.

They take the traditional döner in Berlin and transform it into a borderline art form. With flavorful sauces, meat, vegetables, spices, herbs, bread, and cheese, there's no wonder each bite tastes better than the last.

For €2, you can enjoy their falafel, shawarma, or kafta wrap. Their falafel wrap can be fully plant-based, too, just let them know, so they omit some sauces. They're better off as a snack because they're a bit on the smaller side.
