Bonbonmacherei

Top choice in Berlin


The aroma of peppermint and liquorice wafts through this old-fashioned basement candy kitchen whose owners use antique equipment and time-tested and modern recipes to churn out such souvenir-worthy treats as their signature leaf-shaped Berliner Maiblätter made with woodruff. Mix and match your own bag.
