BLANC DE FUCK: THE NATURAL WINE BAR NEUKÖLLN DIDN’T KNOW IT NEEDED — RECOMMENDED BY CAMILLE DARROUX

BLANC DE FUCK: THE NATURAL WINE BAR NEUKÖLLN DIDN’T KNOW IT NEEDED — RECOMMENDED BY CAMILLE DARROUX

Whoever thinks that Neukölln did not need yet another natural wine bar clearly hasn’t visited Blanc de Fuck just yet. Power couple Chris and Anika of More Natural Wine and Oooh, Berlin!, have temporarily taken over a space on Neukölln’s Lenaustraße and turned it into the ultimate wine destination. With a whopping 270+ bottles available alongside four wines on tap and several more by the glass, they are able to cater both to wine nerds and natural wine newbies alike. If you know them from their previous ventures, you know they pour their whole heart into everything they do. Their mission here is to make what can be an intimidating subject more accessible — and their Instagram account is proof of just that. This translates through a wine list that starts at 26€ and features a short description of each wine, as well as an extensive selection of bottles from the coveted Jura region of France. Moreover, their playful approach means you can request to be served a wine to taste blind if you are in the mood for a challenge. Add in the cosy interior, largely decorated with Anika’s own wine-themed art, and you’ve got the perfect spot for your next date or night out with friends. Oh, of course they have snacks too (don’t miss out on the cheese board!), and outdoor seating is available too for when the days finally really get longer!

GEMSTONE BEADS FOR YOUR SOUL & SOFT LEATHER FOR YOUR FEET: DESIGNS FROM WALLENSTEIN — RECOMMENDED BY IKE WODE

GEMSTONE BEADS FOR YOUR SOUL & SOFT LEATHER FOR YOUR FEET: DESIGNS FROM WALLENSTEIN — RECOMMENDED BY IKE WODE

Do you have one accessory that stays with you all summer long? That you can’t leave the house without? Your favorite faded cap, a cool pair of sunglasses, that one bag that goes with everything? The Wallenstein brand has perfected the art of producing such well-loved pieces. Maria Wallenstein founded the Berlin label in 2020 and initially launched a range of unique leather loafers with co-owner Ercan Inan. Their two-sided design in the color combinations black-beige, white-beige and full black is as simple as it is ingenious. Without pushing themselves too much into the foreground, they can be worn with any outfit and bring a touch of playfulness. They quickly become friends for your feet. In collaboration with talented shoemakers in Burdur (Turkey), each pair is the result of loving craftsmanship using high-quality cowhide. After the loafers, the next favorite piece has recently dropped: Five beaded necklaces made from different gemstones.  Jade, opal, sodalite and calcite not only fascinate with their look but they are also said to have special properties, which you can read about on Wallenstein’s website. The necklaces close at the front with a specially developed silver clasp and are made to order in a small, family-run goldsmith’s workshop in Antalya. Wallenstein attaches great importance to sustainable, resource-conserving and fair production, so wearers end up with a truly beautiful and unique accessory that is fun to wear and will certainly accompany you through more than one summer.

SÙSÙ 素素: SZECHUAN CUISINE IN VEGAN — RECOMMENDED BY FREDERIK WEGNER

SÙSÙ 素素: SZECHUAN CUISINE IN VEGAN — RECOMMENDED BY FREDERIK WEGNER

I almost overlooked this little spot the first time I walked past, I’m glad I didn’t because that would have been a big mistake. If, like me, you love discovering new flavors in Asian cuisine, then SùSù is a must-visit. Since December 2024, this small, unpretentious eatery on Eberswalder Straße — with its casual snack-bar feel — has been serving up vegan Szechuan cuisine. The name Sù (素) means “simple” and “unpretentious”, and the menu reflects that, offering just four starters and six main courses. The focus here is pflavor. Vegan Szechuan isn’t new to Berlin, but SùSù features dishes I haven’t been able to enjoy in a long time as they’re rarely available in vegan versions. My personal highlights? The Mapo Tofu Rice Bowl and the cold noodles with cucumber, zucchini and a fiery peanut sauce (the five-chili warning on the menu is no joke!). By the way, Cài-Kitchen from Senefelder Platz is behind SùSù, and I love seeing them take a fresh approach with new dishes. One thing is certain, I won’t be walking past this place again. Whenever I have an appointment in Prenzlauer Berg, I make sure to plan a Szechuan stopover.

CREATIVITY MEETS MEDITATION: POTTERY AT STUDIO SOMI — RECOMMENDED BY SOPHIE DANIELS

CREATIVITY MEETS MEDITATION: POTTERY AT STUDIO SOMI — RECOMMENDED BY SOPHIE DANIELS

Is it just me or do you also find it difficult to wind down and relax? I had been looking for a way to switch off when I found pottery. When I’m working with my hands, shaping clay on the wheel at Studio Somi, I forget about everything else. This is partly due to the space that Somi, a Korean designer and ceramist, created in the Helmholtzkiez in the summer of 2024. The space itself, with its high ceilings and circular turntables, retains a calm, powerful atmosphere that reflects the meditative and creative work with clay. Somi is an incredibly patient teacher and manages to create a calm and welcoming atmosphere for learning in her hand-building and wheel-throwing workshops. In addition to the workshops, the studio offers a small but lovely store where Somi exhibits and sells her handmade ceramics. Her works are very special — you can see traces of handwork in every object. For me, Studio Somi is a place of retreat and well-being where I first discovered working with clay and continue to deepen my knowledge.

IT’S RUSTLING AT GOSORI: PAPETERIE & WORKSHOP SPACE IN KOLLWITZKIEZ — RECOMMENDED BY HENRIETTE ARTZ

IT’S RUSTLING AT GOSORI: PAPETERIE & WORKSHOP SPACE IN KOLLWITZKIEZ — RECOMMENDED BY HENRIETTE ARTZ

Just a few minutes from Kollwitzplatz, see the brightly lit windowfront of the new Papeterie Gosori from afar. The name is Japanese for the sound of rustling paper — it’s fitting because here you will find everything that makes giving gifts and working at your desk more beautiful. Fine Chiyogami paper hangs next to selected gift ribbons, there are greeting cards for every occasion, washi tape in every color, and sustainable writing instruments that are refillable and long-lasting. Owner Friederike Goll, a trained bookbinder and communication designer, combines her passion for craftsmanship and design in her store. Gosori is not just a shop, but a workshop and meeting space. From spring 2025, get creative in workshops and learn the art of bookbinding. The exact dates are still to be planned, but in the meantime, sign up for the newsletter here for updates. With Gosori, Friederike has created a place characterized by her love of Japanese aesthetics and sustainability. The store radiates calm, and the linoleum-covered table surfaces give a cozy feeling and make you want to browse the shelves and learn bookbinding yourself. I’d love to stay a little longer, but I really have to get going, I need to tidy my desk.
