Rudimarie

With its red-and-white striped awning, high white-framed shop windows and cosy interior decorated with colourful knickknacks, Rudimarie looks like something out of a storybook.

Located only a block from the Landwehrkanal, right between a recently renovated playground and a skate park, it attracts young parents and their kids: they buy lattes to go, freshly made waffles or a delicious slice of Kalter Hund (a layer cake made from biscuits and chocolate); those in a savoury mood slurp at a soup or munch on a wholegrain sarnie.
