Vanille & Marille

The strongest 'everyday, not special' case in the Berlin set: a naturally-made, additive-free product held to independent lab-tested hygiene standards, sold across nine ordinary neighbourhood shops rather than one destination store, at prices closer to a snack than a treat.

What to order
Madagascar vanilla, walnut-fig or prosecco-mint (tip Berlin)
