    Really good coffee and hot chocolate. The staff is v friendly and helpful, and goes to extreme lengths to answer questions about their different types of coffee and the brewing process. Super authentic. Very calm and quiet atmosphere. There are not that many seating available.

    An unique coffee experience not only in the taste, but also the way some types of coffee are presented. Definitely a hipsterish café with many interesting people around. The choice of coffee is good and the taste delicious. Not too bitter and perfectly smooth. Staff was friendly and polite. All was served quickly. The atmosphere is cool! Prices are on avarage, depending on what you take. What I like is that water was offered. Try it out, it's worth it.

    My favorite coffee in this area visited 20+ times. I usually take a flat white which is just perfect. A proper strength (contrary to many other places in Germany which are basically milk with a bit of coffee). Also, great sandwiches in a croissant bread. Decor: a minimalist but cute. A few seats outside in a quiet street. A few books and papers - try a pink one with Japanese funky innovations. The only negative comment is that service could be more welcoming, smiling and warm.

    Where is your GF option….? Nice coffee and friendly enough though not exactly talkative staff, but the line is often long. I prefer Coffee Circle up the road, which does an amazing GF tahini bar (and great coffee). For a very try-hard aka hipster vibe, it’s weird to still be in the 20th century in terms of food options, when every other person is gluten intolerant.

    Small cozy coffee shop in a district of Kreuzberg. Located close to market. Baristas are using crazy coffee machine to make all you can taste there. Also you can get some sweets. While drinking coffee you will have time to read daily magazines. Pay by card or by cash ) and enjoy

    Nice little American-ish cafe right off of Bergmannstraße. There's only a couple of seats inside so not super cozy but the service is very friendly and the coffee was good. If you get a cold brew, it's a Berlin cold brew -- not an American one! But still well prepared and enjoyable. Overall a good stop, but if you want to hang out for a while, check out some of the other more lounge-y cafes around the area.

  • 5/5 Anthony W. 3 months ago on Google • 345 reviews New
    Really well made coffee with interesting beans and methods (siphon, V60 and Espresso). They seem to really know their stuff about coffee. Inside is a bit small and the seating is a little weird, but it well worth a visit! The pastries were not that special, but the coffee certainly was!

  • 5/5 Stella A. 1 month ago on Google • 54 reviews New
    Amazing coffee especially the handbrew and even better personnel ❤️

  • 5/5 Agnieszka F. 10 months ago on Google • 51 reviews
    Great vibe, normal prices, friendly barista and quite enjoyable iced latte. As filter option you have a choice of batchbrew (more common) and hand pour over - which is these days definitely an indication of a good specialty coffee shop for me. Hand brew in cafes is not so easy to find these day so appreciate the effort and craft.

  • 5/5 Tom R. 4 months ago on Google • 16 reviews
    Brilliant coffee place, lucky to be so close to me. Frendly and knowledgeable Barista. We had two different beans of syphon coffee, both amazing. We ate cookies and these were good. Definitely going to go back and try out their lattes etc. Happy!

  • 4/5 Alexander G. 6 months ago on Google • 9 reviews
    The coffee at this café is simply divine, boasting a rich and robust flavor that satisfies any caffeine craving. Paired with a delectable croissant, it's a match made in heaven. The menu only offers a some delightful drinks too.

  • 5/5 Alina S. 8 months ago on Google • 7 reviews
    Nice and cozy place. Friendly staff. Great filter-batchbrew and banana bread.

  • 5/5 Maria L. 4 months ago on Google • 3 reviews
    It was the best espresso I had in Berlin. The girl who served us was a latte art expertise so id you are into cappuccino it deserves a try! She was very friendly and kind!

  • 5/5 Sa S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very friendly staff. Nice location, great chocolate and cookies! (Original) Sehr freundliches Personal. Schöne Location, tolle Schokolade und Cookies!

  • 4/5 Fatih E. 4 years ago on Google
    When la marzocco leva 90 meets with coffee beans you get the best taste of espresso. Atmosphere is amazing. Well experienced baristas, One of the best coffee and machine, Affordable price, Possible to sit outside, The main reason for 4 star is structure and interior of place. If you are coffee lover, you should visit this place.

  • 5/5 Pepper B. 2 years ago on Google
    My favorite coffee place in Berlin.It’s very little and you can’t sit inside due corona limitations but they have tiny benches outside.Since it got hype in recommendations for tourists it got its queues.But it’s all worth it!Hand-brew is marvelous.All workers are lovely and really keen in what they do,can share coffee knowledge long and passionately which was great to choose some coffee gear(they have drippers and also choice of beans for your own experimenting).Also they got some real interesting coffee machine from 60s I have never seen before which is always a treat to see working) Thank you Chapter one !

  • 5/5 Álvaro Sendra G. 2 years ago on Google
    Believe the hype! Here is the best coffee in Berlin.

  • 2/5 Volkan �. 2 years ago on Google
    I’ve tried Americano and I can definitely say that it was the worst Americano that I’ve ever tested. Maybe good for to wake up but not for enjoying. The one another disadvantage was there were no place to stay inside, had our coffee outside in the cold weather 🥶

  • 5/5 Martin F. 4 years ago on Google
    Great location. Great coffee. What else do you need?

  • 4/5 Maximilian v. K. 1 year ago on Google
    Pour over from Columbia was extra ordinarily well balanced and such a nice sweetness. It was a very well brewed coffee. I would rate five stars if chapter one would deliver consistent results but when I was one week later full of anticipation of getting served this amazing filter coffee again It just didn't taste as good as the week before. It's an overall really nice coffee place. I can fully recommend it also the pastries.

  • 5/5 Chris M. 2 years ago on Google
    Cool crew of coffee guys with a cosy place and warm vibe.

  • 4/5 Naser S. 2 years ago on Google
    For coffee I will say perfect but for sitting it's not so comfortable

  • 5/5 Yvonne G. 3 years ago on Google
    Was recommended by a friend, took us two transfers to get here. Flat white was amazing! Will definately come here again~

  • 5/5 Andrés N. 2 years ago on Google
    Generally perfect place for good quality coffee… and I really appreciate that they use high-quality, regional organic milk.

  • 5/5 Wooyong 3 years ago on Google
    My favorite cafe in Berlin! Barista is professional and gentle. He always keeps smile and brings customers good mood!Latte and filter are really nice! Taste:💛💛💛💛💛(5 stars) Service:💛💛💛💛💛(5stars)

  • 5/5 Vedat D. 2 years ago on Google
    Hipster coffee place, cool minimalist decor and espresso with distinctive flavour. Less intense and fruity versus a stronger and more bitter espresso in Italy a contrast

  • 5/5 Andrew S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great little cute cafe serving coffee and pastries. Brilliant lattes and they serve flat whites too. They have oat milk also

  • 5/5 davide c. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) More than good coffee, one of the best in the city. Brioche and extra-fine dilci. High and friendly staff. What more do you want? (Original) Caffè più che buono, uno dei migliori della città. Brioche e dilci sopraffini. Personale all’altezza e amichevole. Che volere di più ?

  • 5/5 Ahmed F. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the best coffees you can drink..try the cafe latte.

  • 5/5 Lou L. 1 year ago on Google
    Very delicious cappuccino and a nice vibe. What's not to love?

  • 5/5 Austin T. 1 year ago on Google
    We have free coffee in the office, but we go here because the flavour is so good. I wish they did a frequent customer card, but then again it's so tasty I don't mind paying :)

  • 5/5 Nic L. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing coffee, one of the best we’ve found in Germany - also great pastries and sandwiches 😊

  • 5/5 Julie 6 years ago on Google
    Well trained and friendly staff. A bit pricy than other coffee shops around (one filter coffee plus one pastry 5,60€). But the great atmosphere compensates it. Kind of a hipster coffee shop hiding in a quite alley.

  • 5/5 Anat Lev H. 1 year ago on Google
    This place will make you irresistible to high-end coffee! Fantastic taste, lovely service. I cannot recommend this place enough.

  • 4/5 Sonia R. 1 year ago on Google
    I wish they had more seating. It got a bit hectic on the weekend. Nice coffee, I had a flat white with oat milk.

  • 5/5 Bjorn H. 1 year ago on Google
    The best coffee in Berlin! Recommend their two portions of filter, Colombia origin.

  • 5/5 N P. 1 year ago on Google
    Possibly the best flat white I’ve ever had anywhere in the world. I felt sad when it was over. I live in Kenya and grow coffee, didn’t expect the best espresso drink of the year to be in Berlin! I need to up my game. These people are true experts 🙇🏼‍♂️

  • 5/5 Laiba A. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious and smooth. Very kind service as well. The coffee shop itself is very aesthetically-pleasing.

  • 5/5 Christopher S. 1 year ago on Google
    They have Pistachio Croissants. Nice! Cappuccino was great too.

  • 5/5 Xenia J. 1 year ago on Google
    Really really good coffee. My kind of taste! Tasty pastries a plus. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 vrinda b. 9 months ago on Google
    My absolute favourite coffee place in Berlin. I lived not too far from here, and would walk in the mornings to get my coffee. The lady at the counter was very friendly and nice to talk to. Also helpful as I would try to order in German but it’s not my native language. The coffee was always excellent. She took the time to make it well every single time. It never felt rushed. This place also has the best croissants and pain-au-chocolats that I’ve had in Berlin.

  • 5/5 Shanaz M. 10 months ago on Google
    smooth matcha latte, delicious pastries, and love that they sell their cold brew concentrate in little bottles

  • 5/5 Mike D. 7 months ago on Google
    Fabulous coffee; V60 AND siphon options for filter, and really excellent espresso. The pastries and sandwiches are very tasty (best pastry I had in Berlin), the staff are friendly, and it's also very doggie friendly.

  • 5/5 Leitha M. 3 years ago on Google
    Always-perfect espresso drinks, friendly staff, great music and cool magazines. They were even able to give me detailed information about the Rotdorn trees on the street out front. A neighborhood treasure.

  • 1/5 Stratos I. 3 years ago on Google
    The oat milk coffee is not drinkable, if you want to sell specialty coffee you need to taste every variety, not serve it blindly.

  • 1/5 sofia k. 3 years ago on Google
    the oat milk coffee was really bad.

  • 4/5 Katarzyna O. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice little place not far from Gneisenaustraße Ubahn Station. Coffee was really good, but there were a lot of wasps. Those were flying everywhere: on the sandwiches and cookies the coffeehouse use to sell.

  • 4/5 Tamara B. 4 years ago on Google
    Best place for coffee in the area! Love the different filter options and variety of coffee from different regions. They have the mentality asking you to try the filter coffee sans milk first, which you definitely should do, because it’s super delicious and doesn’t need any milk! Vegan milk options are offered. Not too fond of the food there though (cakes, biscuits, sandwiches and croissants).

  • 5/5 Thorsten W. 4 years ago on Google
    Fantastic coffee in a very stylish place. Tucked away just around the corner from busy Bergmannstraße, it feels a bit like a location for a David Lynch movie. A very good alternative to roasters like The Barn and Bonanza. Go there, check it out. The double Latte will keep your creative juices flowing the whole day long.

  • 5/5 Tobias S. 4 years ago on Google
    I've been coming here for years because the place makes just about the best coffee in town. The roasts change all the time. On a good day the cold drip is simply exceptional

  • 5/5 Michela U. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A coffee shop for those who love real coffee Refined coffee, obtained with single-origin and quality raw material, which is best expressed through La Mazzocco coffee machines. The environment is small and intimate, if you go out of peak times you can be alone and talk to the owners, who are passionate about coffee. I went twice and tried both filter coffee and espresso. Both very good, I could perceive different nuances of acidity and aromas. I'll be back for sure. (Original) Una caffetteria per chi ama il vero caffè Caffè ricercato, ottenuto con materia prima monorigine e di qualità, che si esprime al meglio attraverso macchine da caffé La Mazzocco. L'ambiente è piccolo e intimo, se si va fuori dall'orario di punta è possibile essere da soli e parlare con i proprietari, che sono appassionati conoscitori del caffè. Sono andata due volte e ho provato sia il caffé in filtro che l'espresso. Molto buoni entrambi, potevo percepire diverse sfumature di acidità e di aromi. Torno di sicuro.
