This little shop makes me dizzy! It's an "oh my gosh" kind of shop for me. This retro inspired store brings back patterns and designs from yesteryear. This store features popular kitsch brands such as pip studio and cath kidston, and also other brands such as clayre and eef as well as house doctor. A must-see in my books!

This kitchen store caught my eye with their lovely holiday decor. What a wonderful way to incorporate color and fun to an ordinary cereal bowl display.

Unfortunately I came across this shop on a Sunday, in which it was closed. From the looks of it, its a vintage shop that handles clothing, shoes, accessories, and furniture. I see it as an upscale vintage gem.

This store of modern design carries products similar to those you might find in a MoMa shop, but with gadgets and gizmos galore it's even better. Products of a particular function used to make a product of another function all in a sleek design. What more could you want?

This cute little corner cafe has much to offer. It seemed to be a local hotspot with its packed out tables of Berlin-ers coming in for their Sunday brunch. Served here? French cuisine - simply put, Meat or cheese tray, a basket of yummy sliced baguettes, and a cafe au late on the side. Atmosphere? Chill. Those who rolled out of bed just to drag themselves down the road to their favorite Sunday brunch joint, which happens to be an adorable french cafe.
Interior: hipster paper lanterns strung from a rope, old wooden furniture, and a nicely selected sage wall color makes for a pleasant atmosphere.
french cuisine: meat and cheese tray accompanied by sliced baguettes and a cafe au late.
Delightful.

A daily selected menu of french cuisine. Three courses and three options, with one fixed low price. Only a few tables in this little restaurant, but it serves as a cozy little nook. We happened to pass by and it looked so inviting we decided to pop in just in time to snag a vacant table. There was only a staff of two the night we went, one cook and one waiter/greeter/etc, who happened to be the owner, and yes, he is French. Some of the nicest people doing what they love, loving what they do, and doing it to perfection.
