About this restaurant

  • Great for brunch
  • Hot spot
  • Great for outdoor dining
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.

    Reservations are highly recommended. Better safe than sorry because this place could get very busy specially when the weather is nice (spring, summer, autumn). Their bacon biscuits is delicious!!

    Die Örtlichkeit ist angenehm, der Service anständig. Das Essen versprach bei den entsprechenden Gerichten in der Karte mehr asiatisches Flair, als es ästhetisch, geschweige denn geschmacklich halten konnte.

    Cod had a few large bones which really put me off, the potato mochi were amazing but we waited a long time on my daughter’s order and when it came it wasn’t great. Overall the venue was lovely, friendly staff but food was underwhelming. Pretty disappointed

    Food is really good and garden is nice, as you sit in the sun. Service is very friendly, the person doing the entrance way less though.

    Interesting place with cool decor close to Samurai museum. Food creative brunch though I found a little bit on the heavy side and slightly over complicated flavours through the ingredients. Definitely a good shout for brunch in the area.
