Goldhahn und Sampson Berlin

Goldhahn und Sampson Berlin

Sybarites' pleasure dome

""Goldhahn und Sampson" Berlin is a book and grocery store with kitchen supplies. It's our first option when we're invited to a meal or need to make a gift."

Goldhahn und Sampson is a book shop and grocery and kitchen supplies store. They have genuine craft products and hold personal relationship with their manufacturers.

But they also offer cooking classes and wine tasting. It's a heaven for every gourmet.

Whenever we are invited to a meal or have to give a gift this is our first choice when searching for a cook book, a good bottle of wine, that strange liquor you wouldn't find in a supermarket, a Kombucha bottle, hazelnuts from Papa dei Boschi, olive oil from Ravidà, Sappelbrot, SoLuna-Dinkelseelen, knives, a good cake or some good coffee.  

A while ago we were invited to a birthday party of a friend that lives in Ireland but wanted to celebrate it in Berlin. She invited friends from Barcelona, Romania and Czech Republic to come for a party weekend. Since she flew only for the weekend, we had the dilemma of what to give her as a present that wouldn't be a problem for her to take back home.So we went to Goldhahn und Sampson and bought her an assortment of sweets, including Venchi Italian chocolates, black bee honey and bio candies from Mirtillo, the traditional Majani and caffarel chocolates from Italy and a Belgian Dolfin carre noir collection. That way she would only have problems fitting in her clothes again - but none with her luggage!

"...not just another bookstore"

"ocelot" in Berlin is really not just another bookstore. For example, here you can find children's books for Arabic refugees or even written in Inuktitut!

Backery & Coffee Berlin

Backery & Coffee

Neighborhood Turkish Bakery

My favorite item they offer has to be their potato gözleme: it's a generous portion that's rich, flavorful, and both crispy and soft.

Lalibela Berlin

Lalibela

Cozy Ethiopian Eatery

My favorite thing to order might just be their #17 plate which comes with stewed vegetables, fresh salad, butter-simmered chicken, chickpeas, lean beef, and collared greens.

The Sanctuary Berlin

The Sanctuary

Vegan Italian Bakery

I am a big fan of their pistachio maritozzo which is a soft Roman bun filled with cream and topped with crushed pistachios. It's absolutely amazing, and not overwhelmingly sweet.

Macondo Berlin

Macondo

Creative Latin Cafébar in Friedrichshain

One word to describe Macondo? Bustling! It's not the place if you need a quiet space to work, but it's nice if you want to have it all: work, play, wine, and coffee.

The Berlin Art Market

Buy Local in Berlin

I suggest stopping by the Berlin Art Market by the Zeughaus to pick up a locally created art piece. Since the market is located in the center of Museum Island it's easy to reach.
