Whether you’re a Swede seeking a little taste of home or a Berliner simply craving a smile and something sweet — turn to Okay Café. Owner, head baker and chef, Marie-Louise (Makki) Crona has dabbled in the Berlin food scene over the past few years, with a host of projects from selling buns-by-bike, writing a food blog and hosting a series of Swedish-ish pop-ups. Now, she’s here to stay with her approachable brick-and-mortar café in Neukölln. In just over a year, Okay has become a favorite neighborhood hangout and a hub for Swedish holiday celebrations. From not too sweet cinnamon buns to avocado toast made with The Bread Station sourdough, satisfying omelets, and, on weekends, a sweet and savory assortment of tiny Swedish “plättar”, Makki’s food is as tasty to eat as it is to admire. Pair that with the friendly service and we’ve just found your new favorite café in Berlin. (Text: Devan Grimsrud / Photos: Luke Marshall Johnson)
