The 10 best cake shops and cafes in Berlin
Sometimes it simply has to be a slice of cake that no supermarket can manage. In Berlin's cake shops sit masters of their trade who conjure little works of art from shortcrust pastry, cream and fruit. Patisserie Lezard in Schoeneberg has won people over with first-class quality for over thirty years, while JUBEL Patisserie in Prenzlauer Berg artfully reinterprets classic tartlets. At Kuchenladen in Charlottenburg the choice is hard between the raspberry tart with rice pudding and the Manhattan Queen made of mascarpone and basil sugar. And anyone looking for the legendary Baumkuchen will find it at the Konditorei-Cafe Buchwald by the Tiergarten. From the Viennese torte to the huge slice of cake, everything is there. Which slice will you reach for first?

With cake I am honestly strict, because here it shows immediately whether someone understands their craft. For this list I tried my way through cake displays and cafes and paid attention to what makes a good cake shop: freshly baked bases without dryness, a cream with real flavor instead of powdered sweetness, clean handcraft and a cafe where you can enjoy your slice in peace.
