Gorilla Bäckerei

In Berlin's Neukölln Schillerkiez, directly on Hermannstraße, Gorilla Bäckerei bakes artisanal sourdough bread with depth. The open bakery makes the concept transparent, and the quality explains the queue outside.

Gorilla Bäckerei: Craftsmanship you can see

Since 2010, Gorilla Bäckerei has specialized in artisan sourdough breads, French patisserie, and a selection of sweet and savory baked goods. To ensure the bread is particularly aromatic and digestible, the dough is given ample time to rise. What makes the concept so convincing: the open kitchen allows visitors to observe the entire baking process through large glass panes. This turns bread baking into a spectacle. Furthermore, numerous surrounding restaurants and cafes are supplied with their bread — a silent testament to quality that speaks for itself.

Sourdough, Croissants, and a Focaccia you won’t forget

The heart of the offering is a wide selection of sourdough breads, decoratively presented on the wall shelving. In front: a counter full of temptations for sweet tooths, from cheesecake to cardamom espresso tart and vegan chocolate cake. The pistachio croissant and the focaccia are true highlights, but don’t miss the cinnamon rolls either. While prices are above the Berlin bakery average, most regulars find that the quality justifies the premium. Those who don’t make it to Neukölln will find a second location on the EUREF Campus in Schöneberg, both open daily from 8 AM to 6 PM. So, if you’re looking for good bread in the morning, you know where to go.
