SOFI Bakery is a standout destination in Berlin’s vibrant food scene, celebrated for its dedication to traditional baking methods and high-quality ingredients. Nestled in the historic Sophie-Gips-Höfe courtyard in Mitte, this artisan bakery was established in late 2020 through a collaboration between Danish chef Frederik Bille Brahe and the hospitality collective Slowness.
At SOFI, the focus is on low-intervention baking techniques that highlight the natural flavors of ancient grains. Sourcing organic grains from small farmers across Northern Europe, the bakery offers a selection of breads such as the signature Berliner Loaf, Danish-style rugbrød, and miche. Their pastry offerings include cardamom-orange morning buns, twice-baked croissants, and seasonal tarts.
The bakery's interior, designed by Danish architects Mathias Mentze and Alexander Vedel Ottenstein, features a minimalist aesthetic with handcrafted wooden furnishings and an open-plan kitchen, allowing visitors to observe the baking process.
SOFI also serves locally sourced batch-brew coffee, artisanal teas, and kombuchas, making it a perfect spot for breakfast or a leisurely afternoon treat. Open daily, it's a must-visit for those seeking authentic, high-quality baked goods in Berlin.
