Anyone who walks into the space on Grosse Hamburger Straße in Mitte finds himself in a sizable coloring book from his or her formative years. The inside of Berlin’s first 2D café is entirely rendered in one color. The interior walls are white. Stucco, drapes, and windows that provide a glimpse of lovely landscapes are drawn with black lines on the light background. White tables and chairs with black lines delineating their borders contrast the two-dimensional background.

Nearly two weeks ago, Xiao Xue Z. and her partner Andy N. opened the “Always Together” café near Hackescher Markt. Southeast Asia served as the source of inspiration for the distinctive interior design. “While visiting South Korea, we went to the Greem Café in Seoul. The capital has never had a 2D eatery before, claims the 26-year-old. The black and white decor of the room contrasts with the vibrant, sweet Bingsu that the two serve their clients here.
The Korean delicacy known as bingsu is created with milk, condensed milk, ice shavings, and sweet toppings. At “Always Together,” vegan options are also offered. According to Xiao Xue Z, the Choco-Oreo Bingsu, which includes vanilla ice cream, brownies, and chunks of Oreo, is currently very well-liked. The menu offers hot beverages in addition to ice cream and tiramisù. These include crazier concoctions like the latte with ube, a purple yam, or a beverage with biscoff, a spread with speculoos flavor.
