Very nice bakery

I got the deal (four items for EUR 14) which was good value for me. Very delicious food and you can see into the kitchen also, which I love! I also think it's very good that they do a discount deal on a random box of yesterday's pastries.

Access: step up from street level. Tap water provided gratis. Narrow inside with limited seating, but also a couple of tables outside if you want some more space. No bathroom.

Pros: Fun flavour, Variety of options

Top experience

Much much better experience there than at FREA bakery… the pistachio roll was excellent. The display makes you want to buy everything!!!!

Lot of choice for vegan braekfast

Deuxième lieu pour le petit déjeuner après Frea Bakery, on peut prendre un petit déjeuner copieux, pains au chocolat, croissant, etc.
Pas beaucoup de places à l'extérieur par contre.

Out of this world

We visited Berlin this week and found Berlin in general to be amazing for vegans, we didn't know how to choose, but even with so many choices we returned to The Sanctuary each day after finding it. The quality of the food is amazing, the options and creativity of the food is outstanding, what they sold isn't something I've been able to get elsewhere (stuffed croissants, strawberry and vanilla pastries etc). The store was very local and easy to get to (the bus stopped right outside the door). We were sad to wake up this morning back in the UK with no tasty breakfast!

Pros: The quality of the food, The 4 piece box for €14 - great value for money, The creativity of the bakes

Cons: Card only - not a con - something to be aware of

Extraordinary vegan bakery

An extraordinary vegan bakery. I had a vegan focaccia with wild broccoli and vegan salsiccia which was excellent, as was the espresso and the pistachio roll. Has take-away and a few seats inside and outside. Very friendly service.

Pros: Excellent food, Very good espresso , Friendly service

INCREDIBLE vegan pastries!

Honestly cannot say how good the food is here; me and my omni friend went and were both blown away by how delicious the food was. We got the box of 4 for €14 and it seemed really reasonably priced for how good and big the food was - if you are vegan it’s a MUST visit!

No thanks

Everything is vegan, but other than that there's plenty of room for improvement here: too fancy for cash (to be fair, staff did accept my exact amount), only throwaway items even if you're eating in, no access to a bathroom.. And yet people put up with this.
Hope it's something temporary until the Sanctuary becomes a more established company, because this is not exactly my idea of service.

Just heaven

It is my new favourite! Every piece I tried was different, yet of supreme quality. Even a pistacho girella and pistacho cannoncino had different fillings, so both of them were worth trying. My recommendation is to get there early, just when they open, because the place is very popular, but no wonder, everything there is so delicious!

Top bakery in Berlin

Compared to FREA Bakery, I liked The Sanctuary a lot more due to the overall selection, flavors, and execution. This is a more crowded place with less space to sit and not as much focus on the atmosphere, but it's definitely worth it if you mainly just care about how things taste.

The Girella pistacchio was extremely delicious and had tons of filling. If you can try only one item, that's my recommendation. The pastry I had at FREA Bakery could have used a lot more filling and excitement, which is exactly what was fixed by coming here. I'm glad I found this spot.

At noon, they were already running out of the top items. Get here early.

Excellent pastries and foccacia

Lots of choice and great prices. There's so many different savoury and sweet options to choose from.

The only downside is its tiny so can get really crowded

authentic italian baked goods

make sure you get there hungry, cause everything looks awesome! I’ve been unsuccessfully looking for a place like that when in Naples. definitely worth visiting, even for buying sth to go. not much space inside and for some the sweets might be too heavy. I didn’t try any coffee though.

Updated from previous review on 2024-03-30

Pros: variety, looks, sweet&savory

Cons: not much space, quite heavy

Good

Really nice place.
The pastries are not too sweet.
I think the croissant could be more crispy.

Cons: Croissant could be crispier

Pastry heaven

I'm so sad I can't eat The Sanctuary's pastries in my hometown in Sweden. We were ecstatic during our visit: everything was so delicious!! GREAT texture and flavor. The coffee was good too. We were lucky to get a spot at one of the three small tables in the café. It gets crowded fast so be prepared to take away.

Cons: Limited indoor seating

Amazing pastries

Amazing Italian pastries. I have no idea if they are authentic but they are certainly delicious. Everything is freshly made and the coffee compliments perfectly.

Dangerously Good

This is very dangerous for my waistline but delightful for my soul. Everything I’ve tried is excellent—both sweet and salty. You really can’t go wrong.
Only drawback is that it’s a small space with no restroom for customers.

Updated from previous review on 2024-02-25

Pros: Pastries, Large selection, Balance of sweet and savory offerings

Cons: Small space, No restroom for customers
