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.
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 :)
Der mit Abstand hipsterigste Coffeeshop, den ich in Berlin kenne. Sehr guter Third-Wave-Kaffee (Espresso/Aero), kleiner Zeitungsmagazin-Laden und Laptop-Arbeitsplätze. Die Stullen sind prima.
Pleasant reprieve from busy Checkpoint Charlie. Excellent coffee, tasty sandwiches and baked goods, including the infamous Five Elephants cheesecake. Efficient, if somewhat reserved service.
I 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.
Great 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.
Great 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.
Great 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!
A 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.
Kindergarten 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.
The 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. 🙈😅
Fast 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.
The 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.
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.
Amazing coffee shop. Excellent coffee, friendly staff, nice sandwiches, and latte art top marks. Just a few steps away from Checkpoint Charlie is this coffee paradise. Full review... En savoir plus
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.
Friendly 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 :)
A 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.
In 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... ;)
The 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.
Super Café, leckere Rosinenbrötchen, state of the art Kaffee, eher wenige oder jedenfalls nur angenehme Touristen. Eine große Bereicherung für das Kreuzberger Ende der Friedrichstraße.
2,50 Euro for a cup of coffee from a thermos is not cool, even if the beans are roasted by Five Elephant. And the Aeropress brew was more than a bit grassy. Slightly disappointed.
Perfekte 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!
