I paid €10 for two sizable bags of handmade treats, and I would have been happy to pay more.

What this shop has done is to make that symbol into icon. Meaning, this shop has so much of everything that features Amplemann, or more correctly, Ampelmännchen, that it is hard to believe. The moment you walk into this shop what you will find is a little bit of everything using this man as the main focus. It's really fun and cool. I mean, this shop really has it all: tee-shirts, cups, glasses, plates, pillows, umbrellas, you name it... Pretty much anything you can think of featuring an Amplemann they have it for sale. Plus, even, The Hoff, David Hasselhoff has visited this shop as they have his photo on the wall taken inside the shop. This is an open and airy shop and the staff is always happy to help you. So, if you want to find that really unique gift or that something-something for yourself, this is the place to go.

Before the…read moremedicine kicked in, the only thing that could make me feel better was a hot tea, so I scrambled into the nearest café I could find. As luck would have it, I walked into this wonderful little café! Stepping inside, I felt like I'd been transported into a little cove of spring time happiness. With flowers, textiles, and pink furniture, it gave off a cozy, somewhat feminine, but sophisticated vibe. (The website gives a good impression of the general feel of the place.) They didn't seem to have internet, so it probably wouldn't be optimal for working/studying. However, it's definitely a fantastic place to read a book or have chat over a small muffin or two. The surrounding area wasn't particularly interesting, but when you're inside, you're whisked away to another world--one of flowers and freshness. Definitely worth checking out.

In our chocolate bar making class, we made two identical Ritter bars of a unique-to-you flavor. There are about 24 mix-ins and they allow you to choose 3 so the flavors are preserved. Then you chose your chocolate. While the bars are setting, you have an educational session on Ritter and on chocolate. Our tour was mainly Germans so they only spoke English during this portion. However, during the TV visual portion there were English subtitles. As mentioned, there is a lot of Ritter to chose from in their store - small bars, big bars, all flavors including limited edition flavors, gifts boxes, a meter of chocolate. And there is a small cafe with drink and sweets. We didn't utilize the cafe nor did we purchase extra chocolates. We really enjoyed our time!
