Albatross Bakery

Finally got to try Albatross Bakery’s pistachio ricotta croissant that’s been popular on Instagram recently. I like its buttery crust and the generous and not-too-sweet pistachio cream filling. I went on a Sunday and the lines were long but I did not have to wait for too long. I also tried the chocolate chip cookie which is also quite good. I paid 9€ for the two products, which I think is too much, but it’s a nice little treat to one’s self every once in a while.

I'm obsessed with everything on the menu I tried so far!! Heavenly bread (the walnut and apricot one especially), great croissants, and the best carrot cake I've ever had. I'm coming back for more!❤️

High prices for a takeaway place. I travelled twice from the opposite end of the city to get specific bakery items which I never found. They make small batches of bakeries and put them on the display. You can't grab 10 cookies for home if you not extremely lucky ( edit: Except for pre ordering / emailing as written in the feedback for large quantities, I dont know if 5-10 cookies count as large enough , and how to tackle 'luck' if you want two of them ) . Expect a queue during breakfast which speaks for the quality. So both the times i tried goods which were on display (not the ones i wanted to try) . They baked goods are nice , mostly buttery , but I still dont get the prices.

This is a no nonsense bakery that sells good quality items. Their vegan cookies are perfect when you want to eat something in between a cake, cookie and a tart. Their coffee options are great as well. The price point is high but it’s worth it.

They have very nice products although with a higher price than usual. But I do not mind that. However, I do not understand why they are so stingy with the paper bags. When you buy half a loaf and a croissant, they try to squeeze them in the same SHORT bag. Let us overlook for a second how that delicate croissant will get along with that rough sourdough and if it will still be so fluffy at the end of the journey. I mean the bag is so short it barely reaches at the top end of the bread. Just forget about the chance of folding it over once. If you drop the bag by accident, and we all know that accidents happen, chances are the highest that the content will end up on the ground. You will either say “FINE, I will buy again” or apply that controversial 5-second rule and hope for the best not to get your tonsils swollen the next day. But guys come on, I think your margins can accommodate a couple of inches enlargement on those bags. These products deserve that level of tender love and care after all.

The pistachio stuffed croissant, layered croissant, and banana bread at the bakery were a heavenly trio of treats. The pistachio cream-filled croissant was simply divine, while the layered croissant added a delightful twist. The banana bread was moist and packed with flavor. Paired with a steaming cup of coffee, it was a perfect morning indulgence. Highly recommended!

I've bought multiple breads multiple times from here now and every time it's been ridiculously good. One of my favourite bakeries in Berlin for sure, would highly highly recommend!

Such a little perfect coffee spot! One of my favorite coffees in Berlin with amazing bread and pastries. Brian the barista is a sweet sunshine, prepares my flat white like no other. The place is not to stay longer because they only have seating outside which is not the best in winter.

Amazing baguette and other baked goods. It's pricey, but a nice treat from time to time. I was first put off a bit by the trendy crowd, but, it's amazing bread!

The story of three friends focused on sustainable local Ingredients it seems the only reason Albatross is not discussed as one of the "World's Best Bakeries" is its lack of pretense, the minimalist space in Kreuzberg originally built on Sourdough but now offering everything from soft Pretzels and Babka to faultless Viennoiserie. Open daily from 08h00 until 18h00 at Graefestrasse 66/67, a display window and benches out front both full on arrival, it is once inside that eyes widen to everything from Sandwiches to Cakes including a weighty Carrot slice that eschews sweetness in favor of tangy Cream Cheese, plenty of Walnuts and complex spices. Taking "inspiration from traditional French, German and Italian techniques," a Pretzel arguably Berlin's best while Albatross' Kouign Amann rivals those of Paris or Lyon, the Almond Croissant sees Frangipane replaced by ground Nut "Jam" beneath buttery twice-baked halves. Humble inside and out, their products also available at a handful of shops across town, a local-seasonal focus currently finds housemade Brioche topped in Strawberries plus Rhubarb while an item simply labeled "Crème Brûlée" finds torched Custard inside flaky walls atop Raspberry Puree.

According to Miriam Webster An Albatross can cause great Anxiety or deep concern and Hinder ones accomplishments. Then there is the web footed Sea Bird that glides as the Wind Dictates. Well the winds have blown A Blessing to Kreuzberg. Once considered a desert for dessert has an Oasis. Let's start with the Vegan Chocolate Cake. Luscious Luxury has never tasted So Scrumptious. Without Being sweet nor dry. The deep dark moist chocolate cake is enough To 'Make your Eyes Bleed' (Shoutout to Method Man) and then comes the dark Cuckoo Coco glassy silky Frosting with edible flower and crushed coco beans lightly and Precisely placed as is the 'Touch' of sea salt. I mean, Just writing this makes me want to rush over....in a hurry. As if this isn't enough we go To the Brownies. OMG. Dark Crispy light yet dense and low if no sugar. It is the BEST I Have Ever Had. (Drake's First Big Hit, ) Have you been to Babkaland? A rare and Special Place in My heart. Cinnamon or Chocolate with a Cappucino. Or the Pan au chocolat or The Plain Croissant or the Lemon Poppy cake and finally. .....THE QUEEN A. I left this for last because It deserves to be the last Word. Sensational. This buttery round blissful ever so slightly caramelized Anointed with Sea Salt 'Bae' and reminiscent of the finest French bakeries is indescribable Even though I just attempted. Something to behold in its Magnificence. The Culinary Game is on in Kreuzberg! And I'm like a Bird in Heat.

Great bakery, great pastry but unfortunately, their sandwiches leave much to be desired. A great sandwhich is all about the ratio of the filling with the bread. Just a bit more filling and a nice condiment of some sort would go a long way as it was kinda dry and bland.

Surprised that I'm the first person to review this place given that they've been open for a while and supply other cafes with baked goods but hey...happy to help them get more well earned recognition. I was staying for a bit in Kreuzberg and Albatross was recommended to me by someone who lives in the area. I came in and had a slice of chocolate babka (which I know is incredibly time consuming to make) and it was lovely. The days that followed I tried other baked goods and found they were equally well done. The coffee drinks for me amounted to either a flat white or a latte, but all were high quality. Despite the bakery being quite busy the staff always kept the line moving and greeted customers warmly. My only disappointment is my flight left too early for me to get some delicious items for the plane.
