I think this may be my first review of a restaurant in Berlin. When we first moved to Zehlendorf,…read moremy first worry was "where can I find good food?" I can't believe it has taken me a year to realize this place existed. That is a year of choosing restaurants that are not to the level of this restaurant, and I am ashamed. I ordered the bibimbap with chicken, and it was the best meal I have had at a restaurant in a looooooong time. The bonus was the affordable prices of all the dishes. Since having that meal, I have not stopped thinking about the flavors. I just might have to have one last meal here before the start of the school year to mourn the end of the summer break.

The environment is beautiful and cosy. The music makes you smile and is well paired with the food…read more I ordered the chicken rice soup with ginger tea and am in heaven. My stomach is happy.

Since buying a flat in Kreuzberg three years ago, I've not returned to Berlin. On a sunny Tuesday I…read moretook a stroll on Bergmannstrasse, which of course is the best area (in the world!) for shopping and near my flat. It reminded me of San Francisco's Hayes Valley in the late 90s, packed with cool shops and vibe that is way too hipster to describe. I remember that one sunny morning in 98, I went for brunch at Suppenkuche on Hayes with a German guy and we went to shops not unlike these ones found here. Now as a middle age woman I have resources, options and I get to enjoy everything at face-value. Speaking of face, this place has amazing oils. Organic, and flavorless, and rich with all sorts of great vitamins. I also found the oil for after-shave, meant for men, but great also for ladies, delightful. The hand cream is also super cool and was on sale. In addition to oils, there are also great selection of chocolates, herbs, tea and cool selection of everything in between. Most of everything, if not everything is made in Berlin. The hipster factor is definitely here and price as we all know, is compatible to San Francisco so quite cool to buy and not feeling your pocketbook getting pitched. I like the labels all marked as made in Berlin. I bought things for myself and others. I also chatted with the shop owner who is super sweet. I would highly recommend this store to American tourists (note this is not a touristy store, so more the reason to come here).
