ABOUT HOUSE OF SMALL WONDER
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, all-day brunch and pastries.
The Berlin location opened in December 2014 on quiet Johannisstrasse, just off the bustling Friedrichstrasse. 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 thoughtfully sourced, local ingredients freshly prepared with Japanese flavors whenever possible. Homemade bread, croissants and pastries are all freshly baked throughout the day.

In February 2019, the Berlin café opened its doors for dinner unveiling original cocktails and a savory evening menu.
As of July 2021, HOSW Berlin has been temporarily (re)located to the historial Jewish Girls School on Auguststrasse not far from its original home-- and still celebrating the small things just the same!
