On Pappelallee two men who settled in Berlin now run the Breton creperie where they themselves were trained as crepe makers. The savoury galettes are made from pure buckwheat flour, water and salt, so they contain neither egg nor milk, and crepes are flambéed with Grand Marnier at the table. Four Breton ciders are poured alongside.
A small red hut stands on Amtsgerichtsplatz in Charlottenburg, turning out savoury buckwheat galettes and sweet crepes with many of the ingredients made in house. A wood burning stove warms the inside and there is a small terrace outside. Cider arrives by the bottle from Brittany. Tables cannot be booked and payment is strictly in cash.
Knalle makes popcorn in Berlin with the methods of a patisserie: the corn is popped with hot air and no fat, coated in caramel and then baked a second time in the oven. The shop stands on Raumerstrasse in the Helmholtzkiez, a bag of a hundred grams costs 5.90 euros, and one of the varieties was developed together with the starred chef Tim Raue.
At the northern end of Pappelallee crepes are made the Japanese way, rolled into a cone and filled with fruit, creams, sauces and pieces of cake. The format comes from the Harajuku district of Tokyo. The menu runs from a simple cinnamon sugar crepe to savoury versions with teriyaki chicken or prawns, with espresso and matcha latte alongside.
On Oderberger Strasse guests sit on second hand furniture from the fifties and eat waffles, available in fourteen sweet and five savoury versions. The savoury ones are made from buttermilk batter and come with salmon, goat cheese or mozzarella. The brand began in 2002 with exactly this mix of cafe and second hand interior.
The shop on Adalbertstrasse by Kottbusser Tor is the one the chain began with in 2012. Freshly baked waffles are topped there with fruit, sauces and crushed confectionery, and the number of possible combinations runs into the hundreds. Milkshakes, ice cream and coffee are served alongside. The batter comes plain, as protein or vegan.
A Berlin waffle business on Kantstrasse in Charlottenburg has been baking five different waffle lines since 2015, from the Belgian waffle through a waffle cake to a waffle on a stick. Spreads, fruit, sprinkles and sauces are chosen by the guests themselves, and a protein waffle and a vegan wholemeal waffle complete the menu.
Between Alexanderplatz and the Nikolaiviertel there are thirteen dessert waffles, served with house made ice cream, fresh fruit and sauces. Dark Belgian chocolate with seventy per cent cocoa goes into the chocolate ice cream. Sundaes of one to five scoops, milkshakes, smoothies, iced drinks and coffee specialities complete the menu.
