Auf Deutsch lesen: Winskiez-Tipps: Essen und Trinken rund um unser Studio
Tufting makes you hungry. Luckily, the Kiez delivers.
Our studio sits on Marienburger Straße in the Winsviertel, the quiet, leafy corner of Prenzlauer Berg; the Winskiez. After three hours with a tufting gun, most people want two things: food and somewhere to chill out. Here are our personal favourites, all a short walk from the studio.
Lola Pizzaiola: pizza, wine and art
Winsstraße 21 · Google Maps
Lola is our go-to. It's cosy inside, and in summer there's nothing better than sitting outside with a bottle of wine. Our tip: the rosemary potato pizza. Lola also shows work by local artists on the walls, so you can keep the creative mood going over dinner.
Early Bird Gelato: the ice cream stop
Winsstraße 68 · Google Maps
For a great ice cream, this is the place. A perfect reward after a long tufting session, or a sweet start before one. My personal recommendation if you can get it on the menu: caramelised pineapple and coconut sorbet.
café gentil: French pastries and exhibitions
Heinrich-Roller-Straße 27 · Google Maps
A short walk away, café gentil is a gorgeous French café with lovely pastries and a beautifully decorated interior. It also hosts regular exhibitions, so it's a good fit if you like your coffee with some great art.
Weinberg Weinhandlung: wine shop and small bar
Winsstraße 64a · Google Maps
A neighbourhood wine shop with a small bar attached. Pick a bottle, sit down with some snacks and toast your new rug. It’s especially lovely in the summer to sit outside, but it’s also nice as a cosy winter retreat.
Productos de mi Mami: Colombian home cooking
Winsstraße 14 · Google Maps
A small family-run spot for arepas, empanadas and other Colombian dishes. A warm, filling lunch before a workshop. People travel for these empanadas!
BOLIVIANA: salteñas and Bolivian coffee
Winsstraße 17 · Google Maps
Bolivian salteñas, coffee and wine, served by owners who love sharing their food and culture. A real gem on Winsstraße.
Plan your day in the Winskiez
Morning workshop: pastries at café gentil first, then lunch at Productos de mi Mami or BOLIVIANA afterwards.
Afternoon workshop: ice cream at Early Bird on the way, then pizza and wine at Lola to celebrate.
Evening plans: finish with a glass at Weinberg.
