In our previous article, we explored where to get the best French-style croissanats in Berlin. Today, we continue the series by highlighing the top patisseries in the city.
French pastries are known for their precision in measurements and attention to detail, making them incomparable to something like Black Forest cake. You’ll often see Parisians with a little white box from their local boulangerie (bakery), ready to share these sweet treasures with family and friends. If you’d like to enjoy a bit of this French ritual yourself, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. Here are our favorite pastry shops in Berlin. To be clear, we’re focusing on pastry shops rather than restaurants, as that’s a topic for a whole new article.

For 11 years, Du Bonheur, located in Berlin Mitte, has embodied what authentic, homemade French pastry truly means. After returning from France, Anna, the owner of Au Bonheur, realized what was missing in Berlin and opened her patisserie, earning a well-deserved reputation. Entering Au Bonheur (French for "To Happiness") is a true delight. Everything your French heart desires is displayed in the vitrine, from viennoiserie and macarons to French pastry, breads, and savory meals. You will find classics like lemon tart and eclairs, as well as unique pastries you can’t find anywhere yes. And yes, they also take orders for any kind of occasion, but hurry - demand is high!

Le Brot has already impressed us with their amazing croissants, but their pastry offerings are on a whole different level. As mentioned before, we were pleasantly surprised by their authentic French selection. From viennoiseries and baguettes to classic pastries and, most importantly, incredibly creative takes on traditional French treats, Le Brot has it all. The owner is French himself, so it’s no wonder that Le Brot stands out as one of the best French bakeries in Berlin, offering delights you could find just as well in France.
Their recently opened café next door is the perfect spot for those seeking a not-too-fancy but still elegant place for an afternoon tea. You might even start planning your next visit, as Le Brot also offers charcuterie boards and wine. Already feeling French?

La Maison comes as close as you can get to an authentic French pastry experience in Berlin. Not only are their croissants incredibly authentic, but their entire selection of pastries is also top-notch. As you step inside, you’re greeted by vitrines filled with French goodies. Imagine delicate little tartes with light creams and fresh fruit toppings, or perhaps a rich hazelnut cream with a crunchy hazelnut topping. Pair this with a flat white on their spacious terrace at Paul-Linke-Ufer in Kreuzberg, and you’ve got a perfect treat. Feeling tempted? We are too! All their products are imported from France and crafted by true experts. See you on their terrace!

Ever heard of éclairs? Well, Canal Artisanal Ice Cream & Pastry takes this classic French pastry to perfection. Their choux dough is filled with amazing pastry cream and topped with a delicious fondant or other creative decorations. Canal offers a variety of flavors to satisfy any mood, and you’ll also find homemade ice cream alongside their baguette-shaped éclairs.
With three locations in Berlin, Canal’s éclairs have become a huge success and are a must-try when you’re in the city. Chef Dana, originally trained as an engineer, combines her meticulous attention to detail with a passion for pastry to create a shop celebrated for its high-quality, seasonal products. Her mission is to make desserts that are lighter and healthier than the competition. Don’t miss out on this gem of Berlin!

Nathanja und Heinrich is a true hidden gem, known for its outstanding cocktails and cozy atmosphere. Like any hero, this café has two distinct faces: by day, it’s a charming spot for high-quality coffee and French pastries, while by night, it transforms into a vibrant nightlife destination.
The pastry selection varies with the seasons and the mood of the kitchen, but you can always find classics like the to-die-for cheesecake with pistachio cream, a not-too-sweet lemon tart with meringue, and a decadent chocolate hazelnut tart with a hazelnut crunch. On weekends, the options become even more enticing.
If you’re in the mood to relax inside, you’ll find a space perfect for unwinding. Imagine that scene from Friends where Rachel leans against the window, watching the rain roll down the pane—except here, instead of sadness, you’ll have coffee, cake, and the happy chatter of friends. To catch the first rays of sunlight, enjoy a spot on their charming terrace, but hurry—space is limited!
