Often at chain bakeries the spinach filling is overly salty or simply doesn't taste like spinach. The spinach in the strudel is pureed but manages to be just the right texture to match the flaky crust. The simit is not the best that I've had in the neighborhood but it is the cheapest that I've found so far (~50 cents). I would hesitate to give this place more stars because the counter woman is always antagonistic towards me. Once she seemed to have derived pleasure from telling me that they did not have any sesame rings. Clearly the quality is good enough, the prices are low enough, and the location is close enough that I deal with the service, since I come here at least once a week.

Graffiti: Chocolate and raspberries, a perfect combination. I really like the chocolate-to-fruit ratio, since it was more fruit dominant and the chocolate just highlighted things. Rose de Vents: Pistachio paste and fruit is a magical combo. So light, so fresh and so indulgent. Litschi Himbeer Eclair: While looks like an eclair, it seems more like a mousse cake. Just slight bits of choux with a ton of fruity creamy. I especially like the combination of lychee and raspberry. Rhubarber Cheesecake: Kinda tiny and very creamy. Also quite fruit forward. Very pretty though. Apricot Lemon: Another pretty tiny cake that seems to be more cream/mousse than cake. Nice citrus tones.

Unfortunately when I finally came to the front of the line, the lady behind the counter told me to get to the back of the line. What?! There were 4 people working behind the counter so I tried another. I tried to explain that I stood in line just like all the people they served before me, but she conferred with the first lady and then the second lady too, told me to go to the back of the line. I can only conclude that they were racist and didn't want my business. Addendum: it was pointed out to me afterwards that the first lady behind the counter went to help the person behind me in line, who then pointed at me as being before her in line. Thanks, but at that point I was too angry at them to want their pastries anymore.

I have to say, it ended up being one of my favorite meals in Berlin! The simits are freshly rolled and baked, and with the high volume of customers, you're almost guaranteed one baked in the last hour or so. I also ordered the menemen on the recommendation of my friend - it's a spiced tomato and scrambled egg combo with some fresh arugula that paired amazingly with the simit. I never knew a simit could be so soft and delicious - the ones I've found in the States are usually quite hard and somewhat tasteless. Simitdchi has a lot of seating removed from the busy counter area, and I was able to find a quiet spot without issue. They forgot about my order (which I honestly did not notice because I'd been reading), so they gave me an extra simit and a glass of Turkish tea on the house. The tea had a beautiful mahogany color, great flavor, and a decent amount of caffeine. I ate my extra simit on my flight the next morning, and though it had dried out a bit, it was still reasonably soft and super delicious. I think I paid about 4€ for what basically was two meals worth of food (crazy!) - I already miss this place and look forward to returning when I'm next in Berlin.
