Freckles Heaven New Cake Spirit in Old Kreuzberg
This place has been closed!
Right where the generation of '68 dictates daily life alongside the bohemian Apple youngsters, where being left comes just as natural to anyone as retaining some of your bourgeois traits, it's Kreuzberg's laid-back Bergmannstraßen neighborhood where Freckles opened up: a dreamy little souterrain to host your vegan coffee and tea party, held in all white wood.
The tattooed owners Nora Karthausen and Anna Binkowski do not belong to the stubborn vegan kind of people, and their cakes don't start brittling away in your usual vegan manner. At Freckles, 'vegan' suggests a fresh and sensual experimental approach: would like your order extra creamy?
Cake revolution comes in tiptoeing, nibble by nibble. For those who prefer things less placid: there's a bunch of empty Beck's cases standing in a corner ready to seat and help acclimate the occasional Kreuzberg grump.
The old spirit of Kreuzberg and the youthful cake vigor are unified under Freckles' whisk logo.
