  1. City Bakery

    December 9, 2011 by Nina

    The City Bakery is celebrating its 20th anniversary, but you would never know. The decor is so modern that they must have had a serious renovation recently. Julian said they are famous for their Hot Chocolate, which comes with a homemade marshmallow and Pretzel Croissants. So naturally, we had one of each. I found that the hot chocolate was way to rich for me (we could only handle two sips each), and there is no way you could finish the whole mug without feeling sick. I noticed that you can order a shot (only the pros know this secret). I thought, Pretzel Croissants? Sounds kind of weird. SO GOOD. Genius, really. You have to try them.

  2. Chocolate and Vines

    January 31, 2011 by Nina

    Over the weekend, Julian and I spent the day in Rochester. We wanted to try a new place, so we went to Chocolate and Vines (which was recommended to me). This is a really interesting idea. They sell truffles, chocolate cakes, cheese plates, wine, beer, and hot drinks. When we walked in the place seemed so perfect. It was dimly lit and a candle at each table, simple, but elegant. We were escorted into a back room that was lit by a tacky overhead lamp, with a pool table in the middle of the tiny room. This setup was awkward and unpleasant. We ordered hot chocolate, the Mascarpone (layer of chocolate with mascarpone cream topped with amaretto crumbs and chocolate curls), and the Chocolate Caramel Pyramid (chocolate mousse with caramel center). I thought the Mascarpone was great, although I don’t particularly like amaretto and the flavor is overpowering so I would not suggest getting it unless you really like amaretto and the chocolate pyarmin’s mousse was wonderful, but the sponge cake on the bottom was not such a great complement. The hot chocolate was okay. It was a bit of a chocolate overload, and would have been better with ice wine or some other drink.

  3. Max Liebermann Museum Cafe

    January 20, 2011 by Nina

    This cute little villa that belonged to the artist Max Liebermann is now a museum. The cafe has a beautiful view of the Wannsee, and offers drinks such as hot chocolate and cappuccino, which are exceptionally good considering it is a museum cafe.

  4. Frau Behrens Torten

    January 20, 2011 by Nina

    This beautiful cafe is right near the Schaubühne (the famous theater). Inside is a piano and two great chandeliers. I drank an exceptionally good hot chocolate (Trinkschokolade) and ate a cheesecake with berries on top. The cheesecake was good, but very strange (in comparison to American cheesecake).

  5. Neues Museum Cafe

    January 20, 2011 by Nina

    We only went here because we were going to the Pergamon Museum (I highly recommend it!). The food here was absolutely horrible. The Berliner Bouletten were warmed up in the microwave! My cake was mediocre. Avoid going here!
