glo™ recently invited us on a scavenger hunt to experience the Berlin summer at its best. We were curious, and so together we set out into the streets of Berlin in search of an adventure.
Our first stop was in the heart of Neukölln, placing us at a Späti just across the street from the Rathaus. Here, we were given our first scavenger hunt clue — and about as much swag as we could carry. Dressed in our new glo™ ponchos with matching fanny packs across our shoulders, we journeyed down to the U Bahn in search of, in their description, “quirky and cheesy furniture” alongside “delicious Vietnamese food.” At first we were puzzled, but after getting the SLEEK community involved, together we had a light bulb moment. This was one of many surprising moments we shared courtesy of glo™.

Of course, that quick tip took us to Mitte-favorite District Mot. Ever since its opening in 2013, this spot has never failed to impress — neon lights, spicy eats and a whole bunch of character make this joint a spot we’re always content to revisit. Here, we’re hooked up with custom cocktails and the opportunity to get a free henna tattoo, to which we obviously said yes. Our bellies full of drinks and our hands newly mandala-d, we get our next clue. Where to next?

After a bit of scouring through Mitte, we arrive at the third stop — Princess Cheesecake. There are two of these in Berlin, each with their own charm. The Mitte location definitely serves up some class; we’re offered an introductory coffee before being given a refreshing summer salad, all followed by a stunning example of the location’s namesake — cheesecake. With limited restraint, we plunge in, enjoying a selection of Berlin’s finest treats before picking up our next and final clue.
As the sun began to set, we finally set off on our last stop. Admittedly, here’s where we hit a bit of a snag. The clue seemed to hint we were on our way to a Späti, but lets be honest that’s where most of our night start, not end. We wanted more — so how was a Späti going to give us that?
Only when we arrived at the Spätkauf did we realise just how wrong we could be. What was once a Späti was now fully decked out in glo™ goodies – with music, rainbow lights and an energetic atmosphere to match. Step inside the world of glo™ where the shelves are stocked with treats, including everything you could ask for from sandwiches to ice pops, candy and more, and the music blasting. Exhausted, we cracked open some drinks and enjoyed the fresh air, making for an ideal end to an endlessly fun day. The biggest takeaway of the day? Berlin is a city of many surprises, but make no sacrifices and there is always more to discover.
