Type and Hype is a coffee shop and typography appreciation shop. You can grab a coffee and pastry whilst at the same time looking through a selection of notebooks, posters and crockery branded with different typographical lettering. The store includes an old letterpress but unfortunately is not in use and used more for decoration. Type and Hype source all their stationery items from within Berlin and Germany itself, which is quite a nice selling point. This shop is quite cool but it is limited to notebooks and a few pencils. I desperately wanted something more from the letterpress theme such as classes or an old workshop hidden in the back of the shop, but sadly this is not the case. I was not tempted into buying anything from Type and Hype and what's more the coffee was just ok by Berlin standards. I like the concept of this store but there is definitely something lacking there for me.

Luiban

This stationery store was an absolute gem and the only unplanned store I found during my visit. Luiban can be found on the same road as Type and Hype and holds a wide range of fantastic stationery.
