Because I'm crazy about donuts and I live in Berlin, it was only a question of time until I tried out Brammibal's. I have to say I almost didn't try it because I went on a Friday, which is market day (it's on Maybachufer where a biweekly open market takes place) and it was crazy busy. As other Yelpers have noted, there are a limited number of tables inside, outside it was too cold and I didn't want to listen to the vendors loudly hawking their wares, but as fate would have it, the bar stools at the front window opened up just as my companions arrived, so we stayed. I found the donuts just OK, interesting flavors and frosting concepts, but the execution was lacking/lackluster. €2.50 each is a little high for me/Berlin, I'd rather spend that much or less on German pastries. What will bring me back, though, on a quieter day, is the coffee (I had 3 cappucinos) - nuanced flavor, well-made, and just delicious. It reminded me of San Francisco, "the scene" was slightly amazing with all the hipsters on their smartphones (taking pictures of the donuts), people on their laptops, moms with baby carriages, Kreuzkölln eben, providing some juicy people-watching. It's a miracle that they can handle so many customers in such a tiny shop, it's like they need a revolving door! My companions were highly entertained and thrilled with their matcha lattes.
