TL;DR - Months later I'm still raving about this place. We read about Zeit für Brot before our most recent trip to Berlin, and having read such good things we had to give it a try. We came in mid afternoon for a coffee and something to eat, but nothing could have prepared me for the treat which awaited me. I went for a weisse schoko-himbeer-schnecke - a white chocolate and raspberry filled enriched bread and... well, frankly it was life changing. One of the most delicious baked items I've ever eaten. I've hunted for the recipe online since returning to the UK but without success. Coffee was really good too and the service was pleasant. The weather was hot so they had big windows open at the front of the cafe, although quite a lot of sparrows had flown inside which were a bit of a nuisance. But the baked goods! You'd forgive anything to lay your hands on these. So good. Next time I'm in Berlin, this is my first stop. read more

We came here twice since the cinnamon roll was sold out on the day we came, but we ended up getting one the next day. We tried the following: Apple cinnamon roll: delicious Walnut maple roll: just ok a bit dry Dark chocolate roll: just ok Cinnamon roll: delicious and not overly sweet Cappuccino: like other yelpers said - over priced so a small cup of coffee 4.70 euros Service: The guy from LA - shout out to you as you were down to earth and awesome - thanks! The lady at the cashier - not the friendliest as there was a communication issue with ordering two coffees instead of one. We felt like we inconvenienced you to get a refund, so our apologies. Overall, if you are in the area, it's worth a try if you're a huge cinnamon roll fan, but if you have to pay to get here then I'm not sure it's worth it as there's other cafes that might be worth trying out. read more

Very nice bakery in Old Town. Fresh bread and all sorts of baked goods. They also have hot beverages available. read more

Sorry I dont get the hype :( The cinnamon bund was just okay, and honestly a little too sweet for my liking. Maybe it would have been better with coffee but I had high expectations after reading all the other reviews and unfortunately the bakery just fell short. read more

Love, love, love. Sadly they do not have self- control available for their visitors, but they do have beautifully prepared sweet or savory bread related products - there really is no better place to go. I can't honestly say that I searched for variety - when I know that I like something, why stray? Cinnamon rolls - not the cloying type that you get covered in a sugar glaze - these had a fair bit of sugar, but it was neatly tucked into the rolls of the cinnamon. There was a focaccia type bread served with juicy mini tomatoes, rosemary and ethereal goodness (no extra charge). Most people knew what they wanted on the efficiently run lines, but those who did not received painstaking explanations. I liked it and still think about each of the items I tried (and those I missed) read more

Best cinnamon roll I've ever had. It is so soft, fluffy, and moist with the perfect cinnamon flavor. I walked 30 minutes in the rain for this and it was well worth it. read more

OK, I get that people are obsessed with the bread/baked goods. But 4 euros for a large black coffee? No thank you.

The raspberry white chocolate pastry was such a great afternoon snack. The raspberry tasted fresh and tart (like ground up berries instead of jam). The white chocolate complemented the berries well, and there wasn't too much so the pastry didn't feel too heavy. It was pretty busy when I went (4pm) but the seating area is quite large. read more

My all time favorite German bakery!!! Food sells out for good reason. The chocolate cinnamon rolls are gooey and chocolatey, the pastries are fresh and beautiful. There is usually a long line because it's so good and so worth the wait. read more

This place will ruin you. You will think about it and strongly desire their cinnamon rolls for the rest of your life. All other cinnamon rolls will disappoint you. I'm actually upset this place isn't a solid 5 stars from everyone. I don't care that their other pastries could just be eh; their cinnamon rolls are so amazing (PERFECTLY soft, delicate, sweet) that it's all that matters. read more

Within a block you can usually smell the cinnamon bun. We happened to be staying nearby and decided to try one morning. While they're famous for the cinnamon bun, I thought their chocolate bun was the better of the two. It's almost like they just melted chocolate and drizzle it all over the bun. Very decadent and delicious - good quality chocolate. The cinnamon bun isn't so overly sweet like what I'm used to in US, so that was a pleasant surprise (so if you're expecting Cinnabon sweetness, this is not) read more

I went to Zeit fur Brot in Frankfurt and was pleasantly surprised to see it here as well. I came here twice and tried the white chocolate raspberry, gooseberry, and dark chocolate. All super tasty. The white chocolate was a bit too sweet, but the gooseberry and dark chocolate were perfect. Gooseberry was a bit tart which was tasty, and the dark chocolate had a very strong dark chocolate flavor (I got the dark chocolate one on a weekday morning around 8AM and I got the last one - when I came on a Sunday morning, the line was huge and there was no more dark chocolate when I got to the front of the line). Each one is about €4 so it's a tad pricey, but the quality is very good and super tasty! read more

This place is busy! The rolls are insanely delicious. The sandwiches are tasty. More importantly, it's the mood and the people. Even it's long line out, inside if you find a seat, it's pretty quiet and peaceful. Definitely recommend read more

The chocolate roll is to die for! I had to try this spot out on my last day in Berlin. Savored every bite and wish I could have another one right now. Good thing there wasn't a line when I got there, but as soon as I placed my order, there was a line out the door. I also got the iced chai latte. Nothing special, but the roll made up for it. A must try! read more

Ether this business has moved a few blocks away or they just opened up a new location. I went here in on Weinbergsweg next to the Circus Hostel, which is about two blocks away from what's listed here. We tried one of their many types of cinnamon roll, which was a little plain but probably just the type we picked out. It wasn't overly sweet which made it more satisfying for breakfast. The muesli was really good with lots of chia and jam. Probably my favorite version that I've had at a cafe/restaurant in a while. We took home a loaf of their volkhorn which was delicious and seedy. I'm giving four stars because although everything was tasty, there is nothing particularly outstanding about this place, plus their coffee is a bit pricey. It's a solid breakfast option in the area where you can grab something to go, but also be warned that seating there is hard to get and is sort of awkward with low lying tables. read more

we ate here two times while in berlin and each time was amazing. their cinnamon buns... heck, every one of their buns, are out of this world delicious and sweet. the woman we spoke with spoke english as well as german, which was awesome. there was a cooler to the right of the door when you walk in with a couple different yogurts inside. i liked the apfel one the best. ooh, also natural water is what you want -- unless you enjoy carbonation in your water -- then go for classic. read more

Chocolate rolls, chocolate rolls, chocolate rolls! This is a must stop if you are in Berlin. Thankfully it was close to our flat and we grabbed some on the go. The rolls can be a little sticky, so make sure you have a fork and knife to eat it! Will definitely be back for breakfast next time we're in Berlin. read more

Stopped by to take a look at their baked goods, but ended up buying a chai latte to go! The cinnamon rolls and other pastries and bread looked delicious as well though, so I would love to go again. Food: - Chai Latte--€3.30 Hot, milky, frothy, and warming. It would satisfy anyone's craving for a warm drink on a cold day! Tips: - Lots of seating so drop by for some food and spend time relaxing. Otherwise, if it's crowded, get a drink and pastries to go and head to the nearby park where there are benches. read more

everyone comes here for the cinnamon rolls, but I didn't think they were that good. I ordered the chocolate cinnamon roll, and it wasn't warm or particularly special. they have a variety of flavors which might be why people love them so much. they are also pretty pricey for $2.70 per cinnamon roll. however, the next day, i decided to give this bakery another try. this time, i slipped the cinnamon roll, and i got a pretzel croissant. this was delicious. it was warm and buttery, and I thought it was way better than the cinnamon roll. i would definitely recommend the pretzel croissant over the cinnamon roll. read more

Poor unpleasant service, require maintenance, small portions, there are better alternatives around the corner

I dig this place. While the cinnamon buns aren't earth shattering in flavor, they have a great variety, and they're neither too sweet or too buttery; they also mercifully lack the chemical flavor of a Cinnabon. I got the cherry white chocolate, and while I wished for a deeper flavor, next time I'll try the cherry marzipan. They have pretzel croissants too, and I can't wait to try them. read more

OKAY YES. 10/10 I don't think I've ever eaten this many cinnamon rolls in one sitting but...not complaining. When you first step into the store, you're greeted warmly with the wonderful aroma of S U G A R & cinnamon. These cinnamon rolls are so fresh and fluffy!! We got the original and then two other ones (choc raspberry & raspberry). The original was so yummy and we also loved the chocolate raspberry one! The one with raspberry and almonds on top was a little dry so wouldn't recommend getting that one. They literally have over 6 different flavors and I feel like you can't go wrong with most of them. Seating is limited but it's a cute place!! read more

This bakery is worth a visit if you're in Berlin. They have a wide range of pastries and other baked goods available. Had the pretzel croissant and the white chocolate/raspberry bun. The croissant was a perfect hybrid, never tasted anything like it... the bun was sweet, would have loved to try the other flavours. The coffee is excellent too. I waited in line for a bit but it was worth it. read more

Affordable delicious desserts!! I got the apple strudel (2.70 euro) and half of a cinnamon roll with chocolate (which they sold to me for 1 euro). I suggest taking it home, warming it up in the microwave, and eating it with a glass of cold milk. read more

Came for the sandwiches. Stayed for the cinnamon buns. My first day in Berlin, I was looking for a lunch spot and this came up in my wandering. It looked like they only had vegetarian sandwiches, so I left seeking alternative options. Days later a friend mentioned wanting to go for the cinnamon buns - truly this is where their culinary expertise shines! The buns were incredible - we tried the apple cinnamon and plum buns. Two buns split 4 ways was certainly enough for us paired with a round of coffees. The place was packed but we managed to squeeze around a small table and enjoy the buns. I'd love to overtime try them all if I find myself in Berlin often enough! Definitely don't miss these buns, I've not seen anything like them before! Note some locations are busier than others so check google maps and find the lease busy one when you want to go otherwise there is a long line out the door. We were able to just walk in! read more

While the food is decent, the service leaves much to be desired. The employees are not proactive or helpful. read more

Truly fantastic bread!! Don't be discouraged by the trendy neighborhood and the long line of young lunching women - this place is not just getting by on hype. Lovely place to stop for a cappuccino after wandering around Mitte all day. The coffee is ok -good, but there are some fantastic coffee shops in the area, so unfortunately this cup pales in comparison... and please be kind to yourself and get a cinnamon roll! They are perfect. Yes, you heard me - not just good, not even great - PERFECT! The tables are usually quite full, but this is Berlin, so people are nice and don't mind sharing. Before you leave, get a loaf of bread, any bread, it's all fresh and terrific! read more

Overrated and overpriced for what you get- try a hole in the wall bakery for the real German experience. Their Schnecken (rolls of all kinds) used to be awesome but are now consistently smaller than they used to be and with much less (in the case of the Mandel Marzipan Schnecke I am finishing right now, none) of the generously distributed fillings that made their high prices worth it in the past. Sorry Zeit für Brot- you used to be a favorite for me with friends visiting the city but you're officially off my list and I'm going to find a bakery with better quality control. read more

I was staying at a hostel about a block away and saw this coffee shop while walking to the U-Bahn station. It seemed very popular with locals so I decided to check it out. I ordered a salami sandwich and a cappuccino. The staff was super friendly and both the food and coffee were amazing. It might be a bit difficult to find a seat but you can sit near the windows or outside as well. read more
