"When Common first appeared on my radar, I couldn't quite figure out what exactly this project was going to be. Located on Karl-Marx-Straße in Neukölln across the street from Shaam, their social media teased pastries, coffee, and then suddenly also pizza. It wasn't until after the opening when I understood the concept: Bakery by day, pizza joint by night. A shape-shifting, dual-personality food project, united in an expertise and love for baking, with serious ambition hiding behind its stripped-back, neighborhood feel."
"The pastry offering is a small but mighty confident lineup, offering items like a dreamy and slightly acidic lemon poppy seed bun, a cinnamon swirl rolled in spiced sugar and a cardamom bun that deserves special attention: Rich, doughy and spiced just right, 100% most definitely the best of its kind in Berlin and dangerously close to the legendary Juno bun in Copenhagen (and trust me, that's no faint praise)."
Common opened quietly in summer 2025 on Karl-Marx-Straße in Neukölln, blending a Copenhagen-esque café/bakery design with neighborhood intimacy. Daytime menu focuses on a concise, confident pastry lineup: lemon poppy seed bun, spiced cinnamon swirl, and a cardamom bun praised as Berlin's best, alongside a sourdough egg-and-bacon bun and strong rye bread. At 17:00 the bakery closes and reopens at 18:00 as a backyard, improvised pizza parlor with pizzas handed through a window and tiny outdoor seating. The project emphasizes baking expertise, ambitious execution, and a stripped-back local atmosphere.
