A new bakery-restaurant called Gaumenkitzel, featuring the cuisine of Northern Germany and helmed by a couple from Hamburg, is opening later this month at 2121 San Pablo Avenue in Berkeley. As SFoodie reports, the name means “tickle the taste buds,” and husband-and-wife team Kai Flache and Anja Voth are planning to serve breakfast starting at 7 a.m., including brötchen, German open-face sandwiches with sweet and savory fillings. Service will extend through the day to include an “early dinner” that ends around 6 p.m. After getting fully staffed, they plan to do later dinner service too. [SFoodie]
