    Beautiful patio with an a amazing shade tree on a quiet street with views of the river Spree. Non-smoking area outside and very kid friendly. Always like to see fair trade coffee being served.

    I’ve tried this vegan blueberry porridge, loaded with fruits and coconut flakes. Pretty tasty, however it was barely warm, which was a bit upsetting. They served it with fresh orange juice!

    The Buchkantine is not just a café but also a bookshop m. It has the ideal place to do your professional meetings and drink your coffee.

    Perfect place for a summer coffee along the Spree river, with a nice piece of chocolate cake on the side. Plus, it has a bookstore inside!

    Pasta was delicious. Serene cafe on the banks of spree. I wish they made pancakes as well for breakfast.

    Nice place for breakfast or lunch near the spree with really friendly staff. The goal cheese Flammkuchen is my personal favorite.

    Nice cafe inside and outside. Modern, clean, good to relax. Try the frappe in summertime - good price.

    They serve cakes and kisches. No burgers anymore. But a very nice place

    The burger's meat patty and fries were clearly from bulk frozen supplies, nothing fresh or tasty about them. The pumpkin pasta was ok, but developed a weird flavor the more I ate. I wouldn't go back.

    Very not Berlin-like at all with unremarkable food but a rather nice terrace.

    Schöne Terrasse an der Spree, Bücher zum Schmökern und noch dazu leckeres Essen. Zwei vegane Burgeralternativen - ich hatte den mit Kimchi und Seitan, den ich sehr empfehlen kann. Dazu Beilagensalat.

    Burger einfach nur schlecht. Obwohl das Rezept toll klingt war der Burger ein fail. Pettie totgebraten und Brot so hart als ob es zwei Wochen alt ist. Sonst tolle Lage und Gesamtkonzept auch toll.

    Im Sommer draußen frühstücken geht super. Drinnen ist die Atmosphäre tatsächlich ein bisschen wie in einer Kantine...

    Mit heisser Schokolade mit 72% Kakao, frischem Ingwer-Tee und umgeben von Feinkost und Büchern ein wunderbar gemütlicher Ort zum Verweilen.
