Super friendly staff, interesting magazines, healthy snacks, delicious cake and excellent coffee. Definitely the place to hang out in this otherwise rather touristy part of Berlin. Love to go here.
Martin JordanFebruary 22, 2018Best coffee shop in this part of Kreuzberg – quite spacious and lots of books and magazines. In summer, sit in the backyard!
Great coffee bar with coffee from Drop and Five Elephant. They also provide a great selection of international newspapers and magazines. Free WiFi.
Good flat white, nice quiche. Good selection of arty mags. Uses 5 elephants beans. Staff speaks English. Minimal design interior. Nice place to stop and get away from the surrounding tourist traps :)
Jonas KinetAugust 20, 2014I like this place a lot even though the design interior and music aren't really my thing. Coffees are good and the staff makes you feel very welcome. Tasty bites and a nice terrace, too.
Oleg StavitskyDecember 9, 2016Great coffee & sandwiches, communal table with sockets and fast wi-fi (rare thing in Berlin). Really great place to work in this boring and touristy district.
Pleasant reprieve from busy Checkpoint Charlie. Excellent coffee, tasty sandwiches and baked goods, including the infamous Five Elephants cheesecake. Efficient, if somewhat reserved service.
Ugur KanerDecember 23, 2014Kindergarten for creative types. Good place to work w/ free wifi & large table w/ sockets. Design, mags, books, photos; inspiring. Good music, solid filter coffee. Try goat cheese + beetroot sandwich.
MatthiasSeptember 15, 2022The location, the music & the vibe are fantastic! The coffee is good but I prefer the Espressonisten tbh. 😏 They have a healthy snack selection but €4,50 for a fairly small „Stulle“ does hurt. 🙈😅
The goat's cheese salad. Trust me. The coffee is expensive but it's a great, the tastiest toast in Berlin. Great selection of art magazines too.
Marta TapperoOctober 14, 2014Great Great place. Very hipster. Best carrot cake I've tasted ever! If you ask for coffee they put an Americano, ask for a normal one. Good wifi. All newspapers!
Great little back yard sun trap that goes a little round the corner if it looks full!
- Oleg StavitskyFebruary 16, 2018A safe haven in one of the worst areas of Berlin. If you happen to stuck around Checkpoint Charlie - come here for great coffee, reliable wifi, power sockets and proper food.
Andy WilkeMarch 12, 2016Best place to have a great coffee, read nice magazines, chillax or work in this area.
Although it's a busy place, it's quite big, so you can seat easily in 5-10min. The carrot cake is definitely the best thing. the downside is that the service is a bit slow, but justified.
Excellent coffee shop close to Checkpoint Charlie. They carry Five Elephant coffee, have a nice selection of magazines and provide space for working. More Soho than Mission. Great spot.
Josef DunneJuly 27, 2014Fast and reliable wifi internet. Large table with power sockets. Great quiches. One annoyance is that they only accept Mastercard and not Visa... otherwise, one of the best cafes in Berlin.
Robert GreenMay 18, 2015Staff are friendly, coffee delicious and probably the cheapest flat white in the city centre! Ticks all round... Oh and hassle free wifi!
LorenaApril 7, 2015Friendly staff, nice tea and scrumptious cakes. Best spot to work in Berlin - free wifi, lots of plug sockets plus food and drinks just a few meters away :)
marc hillOctober 27, 2013The cheesecake is delicious. A recipe passed down from the grandmother of one of the staff. The German cheese and dairy take it to a new level of delicious, light and tasty. Must try.
D. E.July 18, 2015A hidden pearl in the touristic area. Authentical coffe shop with friendly staff , casual atmosphere, good brews and nice little backyard for a couple of tables.
Canan CmDnzJanuary 9, 2016Nordic flair in the city! A nice place to have a quick snack with a really good flat white and take glance at independent press/magazines.
Alina CiorganApril 9, 2017Third wave coffee allright! Beans from drop coffee in stockholm and from the barn in berlin.
KyzeMarch 25, 2016Cool, modern place with a hipster vibe. Not too expensive. One of my favorites cafes in Berlin.
Bridges and BalloonsApril 6, 2014Great selection of magazines but this place and its staff have a bad attitude. The epitome of 'too cool for school'. Plus the coffee is super bitter. I couldn't finish mine.
Alws MntnJanuary 28, 2015coffee is superb! lots of space and a little garden terrace in the summer. espresso is always good.
Łukasz TyrałaNovember 22, 2016Great coffee and breakfast spot. Love the books and papers that you can read during a stay. Seems like a friendly place for work also.
Mohsen SarakbiNovember 18, 2017just wow, great place, so sorry that it opens late (8.30am) so you can cannot have a early breakfast, but very beautiful place and delicious coffee- The goat's cheese salad. Trust me. The coffee is expensive but it's great, the tastiest roast in Berlin. Great selection of art magazines too.
- Stefan NickApril 22, 2017Relaxing music, good coffee and you have a huge selection of fancy magazines that you can just grab and read for read! Top!
Thomas KnüwerJanuary 30, 2016Cool mixture between coffeeshop and magazine seller with great coffee and good sandwiches.
Emilia IvanovaApril 7, 2015I love it -modern cozy place wherevyou can read a magazine or just enjoy tasty coffee with cakes! :) I love you West Berlin.
- MatthiasJanuary 6, 2015In general, I am not a big fan of anything on Friedrichstr. and this café doesn't make much of a difference but I have to admit that their cakes are class! :) Hipster feeling on Friedrichstr... ;)
Jo LafFebruary 20, 2016Very good coffee, tasty snacks, stylish venue, good for working, a bit too crowded and busy, especially with tourists, and Mitte prices
TreFebruary 27, 2016Nice design cafe stocked with a great selection of magazines. There's even a table for the creative nomads looking to do some work..
Masarra AlameriNovember 14, 2015Beautiful cozy place and friendly staff . Was worth waiting for it to open .... the food is well presented and served and is definetely healthy- BasakFebruary 27, 2016Grab your coffee, sit in the back and enjoy all the art magazines. Btw, you hear more English than German here.
Christo PapadopoulosApril 22, 2019Very good coffee done right from Five Elephant + Drop. Friendly staff. The right kind of atmosphere & space 👌☕☕
Lars GinnerupJuly 29, 2017Good place to sit and work. Nice selection of cakes and hand sandwiches on rye bread ;)
Nadine BiegFebruary 16, 2017The only place around checkpoint Charlie with good coffee. But quite slow and not the comfiest place of all. Lots of hipsters and tourists but also nice magazines. I like their Carrot Cake.
Anneke NijenhuisSeptember 12, 2015Nice place very close to all the touristic highlights. Great cakes! If it's sunny, take a seat in the little garden.
Helen TJanuary 13, 2015Great, strong coffee! And the soup that I had was delicious! A really relaxing place 😀
Lili MissMay 1, 2015Nice place close to #chevkpointcharlie! I tried the #salad which is not crazy buy the cafe is really nice
Maren MartschenkoOctober 31, 2012Perfekte Location für eine Kaffeepause beim Checkpoint Charlie. // Make sure you don't miss this place for a coffee break when you visit Checkpoint Charlie. Great cofffe & cake!
