đ©đȘ Berlin, this bakeryâs cinnamon rolls are absolutely delicious! đ
As a true bread lover, how could I miss Berlinâs famous Zeit FĂŒr Brot? It has several branches in the city. I recommend visiting the one at Alte Schönhauser Str.âlocated in the city center, this area is full of stylish streets and shops, plus plenty of cafes to explore! That day, while buying bread, a little bird flew inside⊠so cute! Even the birds love their bread! đŠâ€ïž đ„ Although cinnamon rolls originated in Northern Europe, theyâve been truly adapted and popularized in Germany, where theyâre called âZimtschneckeâ (literally âcinnamon snailâ). And unlike Danish cinnamon rolls, which are often heavy on butter and sugar, the ones here are not overly sweetâso delicious! (Sadly, the apple flavor was sold out that day đ) â€ïž Another heartwarming detail: I bought a large sourdough loaf, which came in a big paper bag. I noticed a thoughtful message printed on the packagingâit was truly touching! đâš My appreciation for this bakery instantly grew. đ Hereâs a rough translation: The text starts off with a playful, ironic tone, describing how snails are often seen from a human perspective as âmiserable little creaturesââslow and slimy, often joked about at beer festivals (a nod to German culture where people might mock their slowness over beer), and whose name is often used in negative comparisons (like âas slow as a snailâ). But then it shifts: âLakritzschneckenâ (licorice spiral candies) helped improve the snailâs image, and various âbread snailsâ (like Zimtschnecken/cinnamon rolls and Schokoschnecken/chocolate rolls) have also turned its reputation around. We should rethink our perception of âSchneckenâ (snails/rolls) and no longer associate them with negativity. Instead, we should appreciate them from a perspective of âdeliciousness,â âgentleness,â and âslow living.â đ The closing paragraph is the highlight: âNext time you buy something at Zeit fĂŒr Brot, take a moment to reflect on your relationship with this âmisunderstood creature.â If you ever see a real little snail in your garden or on a walk, remember this lovely experienceâand give that little snail a compliment.â đ ZEIT FĂR BROT (Time for Bread!) đ Alte Schönhauser Str. 4, 10119 Berlin #WeekendDestinations #CinnamonRolls #BreadLover #BakeryLove #HiddenBakeryGems
