Keit’s Kreuzberg shop is a bakery with gallery calm.

Tucked on Graefestraße 7 in Berlin Germany, it feels pared back on purpose, a room built for slowness and the small ceremony of bread. But it’s not just bread. The loaves are displayed in a beautifully artful manner.

Studio Michael Burman keeps the space quiet but never plain. A reclaimed millstone, cut into three smooth, wave-like pieces, becomes the counter, part relic, part altar.

Douglas fir warms the benches and shelving, while brushed stainless ledges hold loaves like still lifes. Handmade washi paper wraps the walls in a soft grid, and paper pendants float overhead, turning daylight into something gentler.

And yes, the pendant is reminiscent of a loaf of bread itself.

Keit is led by Thanos Petalotis and Kolja Orzeszko, former Adidas creatives who traded brand strategy for sourdough and a more literal kind of craft.

In this place, bread is not hidden behind glass. It sits out in the open, all crust and texture, made to be looked at before it is broken and shared.
