'Queer-Owned' | C+ Bakery

We hear from Caris, the entrepreneur behind Queer-owned C+ Bakery in Berlin.

LGBTQIA+ entrepreneurs aren’t just running businesses—they’re creating spaces that drive change and build community. Our 'Queer-Owned' series goes beyond the storefront to explore the purpose, impact, and stories behind queer-owned businesses.

C+ Bakery is more than a vegan bakery - it’s a joyful, intentional space rooted in queerness and care. In this interview, we meet Caris, the founder of C+ Bakery in Berlin, who shares how identity, creativity, and purpose shape everything from the name to the pastries. We explore what it means to build a queer-led business with values at the core - and how even a small bakery can carve out space for community, joy, and connection.

Whether you’re dreaming up your own project or just looking for a little inspiration, Caris’ story is a sweet reminder of the power of doing things differently.
