About this restaurant

  • Great for brunch
  • Vegetarian-friendly
  • Charming
Opened in the summer of 2010 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn by Motoko Watanabe and Shaul Margulies, House of Small Wonder (HOSW) soon became a popular place for breakfast, lunch and all day brunch and pastries. The new location in Berlin reopened in July 2021 and is located on the quiet Auguststraße. It has a very similar warm atmosphere, lots of wood, lots of plants. The culinary concept follows the footsteps of its Brooklyn café and has numerous Japanese influences: comfort food with organic, local ingredients, freshly prepared with Japanese flavours whenever possible. Homemade bread, croissants and pastries are all freshly baked throughout the day.

    Das Essen war gut, aber angesichts des hohen Preises war die Portion ziemlich klein. Außerdem muss man extra bezahlen, wenn man eine Suppe nimmt und dazu noch einen kleinen Salat zu den Eggs Benedict möchte. Der Service war nicht sehr aufmerksam. Sobald wir aufgegessen hatten, wurden wir etwa 10 Minuten lang ignoriert und mussten beim Verlassen im Stehen bezahlen. Wir empfehlen es nicht.

    Ein etwas versteckt gelegenes, feines Restaurant. Auf jeden Fall lohnen die Suche & das Finden. Es empfiehlt sich, vorab zu reservieren. Das Essen ist hervorragend, für unsere Gaumen originell und extrem schmackhaft.

    Wir waren zum ersten Mal hier. Das Essen und die Drinks waren klasse und sein Geld wert. Ich empfand das Restaurant von der Akustik recht laut. Service wirkte für mich etwas sleepy, aber war stets freundlich und alles kam wie bestellt. Wir werden wieder hingehen:-) Alles in allem war es ein tolles Mittagessen.

    Das Essen ist ok, geschmacklich aber nichts besonderes und dafür m.E. zu teuer. Schöne Atmosphäre und freundlicher service.

    Das Essen war lecker, aber das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis völlig aus dem Ruder. Der Service wirkte überfordert.

    Das Ambiente ist wunderbar. Wir waren im hinteren großen Raum/Saal. Der Service ist super, es sind alle sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Das Essen (Brunch) war megalecker und die Portionen sind reichlich. Immer wieder gern gehen wir dahin

    Gutes Essen, freundliche Bedienung. Allerdings wurden wir schon während des Hauptgangs mehrmals genötigt, uns für ein Dessert zu entscheiden, da die Küche ca. 9:30 schon schliessen werde. Hingegen wird man über die Website informiert, dass die letzte Bestellung bis 22:00 möglich ist.

    Schöne Location in einem historischen Gebäude, kreative Frühstücksauswahl, freundlicher Service (wenn auch nur auf Englisch). Absolute Empfehlung!
