Good view, and here all advantages end. Poor and tasteless interior, strange stuff, primitive dishes. I ordered the French Breakfast, they ran out of croissants (on Sunday, at noon, huh? Isn’t the time to eat croissants?). Instead they served a Brötchen (which costs 10 cents) and charged me the same price as for the original breakfast 😖

The place is really pretty on the lake with ducks and swans.. my only issue is the high prices from the cafe

Great view with nice coffee and other beverages and you could grab a bite there as well, It's also nice place to walk around too especially on sunny days but you might find some homeless around.

Good place to enjoy the pond view on a nice day. View/location is perfect, food is alright but not too special. They offer a breakfast menu in the morning (around 10€) and Asian dishes from noon onwards. There is also a selection of cakes (around 4€). In spring you can see swans in their nest right next to the seating area. When the sun is out there are also turtles sunbathing on small platforms in the pond.

Visited the place for an afternoon coffee and ordered a latte with a sandwich/ toast. I would say it felt a little bit pricey. The view of the lake is great everywhere and it definitely helps the whole experience a lot (except if you seat inside of course). The staff was kind and helpful even when I only spoke English. Cash and cards where accepted.

Schön an einem Teich gelegen. Die Ausstattung des Cafés ist relativ ideenlos. Wir bestellten Eiscafé und bekamen erst die Frage, ob wir uns das überlegt hätten, denn der sollte 7,50 kosten. Auflösung: wir bekamen keinen, sie hatten dann doch wohl kein Eis. Der Pott Kaffee kostete weniger, war aber extrem fade! Vielleicht sind die Tees besser, habe davon aber nichts bestellt. Die haben da eine Barista Maschine und machen solchen schrecklichen Kaffee, mit offensichtlich zu wenig Kaffeemehl. Grauslich! Die Bedienung war ungelernt und erfüllte nicht mal das Mindestmaß. Schade! Für uns ist eine Wiederholung ausgeschlossen! Was die angebliche Ausländerfeindlichkeit der anderen Bewertungen angeht, halte ich für absurd. Die meisten Gäste hatten heute einen Migrationshintergrund ebenso wie die meisten Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter dort.

Sehr idyllischer Ort um einen guten Cafe zu genießen. Es wird günstiges Frühstück angeboten.

Wir sind begeistert. Wir haben sehr gut auf der Terrasse direkt am Engelsbecken gespeist. Das Curry war 1a und die Portion reichlich, die Cocktails exzellent und das Personal sehr freundlich! Wir kommen bei unserem nächsten Berlin Besuch definitiv wieder. :-)

Waren hier zu zweit zum Frühstücken und sind rund um begeistert! Sehr netter Service gute Getränke und ein mehr als großzügiges Frühstück. Es war sehr sehr lecker und wir werden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen!

This small cafe at Engelbecken has some great views. It has indoor as well as outdoor sitting facing the water front and park thereafter. A very good place to relax particularly on a sunny day while enjoying coffee or beer. Some of their food dishes are very good. Reasonably priced.

Great place to sit outside or inside. Amazing if you want to work on your laptop (the wifi is strong!). Vegan options are available (the coconut rice is so delicious:)). Staff is friendly and perfect for a sunny day ☀️

Ich war das erste Mal in diesem Café. Habe mich mit meiner Cousine so wohl gefühlt. Wir kommen wieder. Danke an das supernette Personal für die schöne Zeit dort.

Lovely little spot. Just got round to reviewing this as part of our Berlin trip away last year. Really remote location, but beautiful. The lake had frozen over and there were great views. The sharing platter (in the picture) was absolutely wonderful and a good portion for two people. Only critique is that, because it’s a more local cafe perhaps, it was very quiet and the atmosphere could’ve done with some more up beat music. However, if you’re a tourist that enjoys finding the more local places, I’d definitely recommend coming here.

Really nice cafe, mainly the terrace and outside are is super pleasant . I can recommend to go on a sunny day, it’s relaxing with the water and green. After some drinks and food you can have a little stroll on the park. Staff was friendly and because of the reviews we order food quickly and it came also pretty fast (Most people where having drinks so I guess that was good for us). We ordered Bami Gori it was OK. I had a mint lemonade and my partner a radler. As many review mention there are many wasp and it can get annoying.

Die Kaffee und Kuchen Auswahl ist ausreichend, aber nichts besonderes. Das Stück Rhabarber Baiser ist in Ordnung (zu den Anderen kann ich nichts sagen. Die Bedienung ist relativ freundlich und die Preise sind etwas zu hoch gegriffen (9,20€ für Caprese ist schon eine Ansage). Das Einzige was das Café sehr aufwertet ist die Lage, direkt am See, die wirklich toll ist.

Amazing location near the pond with swans, ducks, turtles and other lovely creatures. Food is very simple, but you definitely won't stay hungry. Service is a bit slow, but you don't mind waiting a bit more when location is that nice. It is hard to get the table right by the water, but If you do, you will enjoy it a lot. Having a glass of smth cold by the water at the end of the hot day is just perfect.

Beautiful view and friendly staff! However, the food is quite expensive and not as special as the place and what one would expect..

Really nice location, not too far from Alexanderplatz and a nice walk from there. Coffee and Peach Ice Tea was good, would definitely come back here! Good atmosphere for chilling out, talking or working (I don't know if they have outlets though :D). Super cute gem, glad I found it :)

pretty boring place, the waiter lacks enthusiasm and despite me speaking good german she made me repeat my order 3 times. The sandwich i ordered was a fraud: 6.8 for half a slice of ham in the middle of the sandwich, same for cheese, the salad was on the side... Took also a gintonic, the gin was so little i couldn't taste it. Never again don't waste money just cause the location is on a "lake"

(Translated by Google) It is a very nice cafe by the lake. (Original) Es ist ein sehr schönes Cafe am See.

(Translated by Google) It is so beautiful here !! You feel a bit away from the hustle and bustle of Berlin with a view of the Engels basin, in which swans and turtles are floating in front of you. In summer you eat on the large terrace. The food is okay, there is the "standard" breakfast - rolls with cold cuts and cakes. Vegans / gluten intolerants have more problems to find something here. But it is simply worth sitting here for a coffee in summer! (Original) Es ist hier so schön!! Man sitzt gefühlt etwas abseits vom Berlin-Trubel mit Blick auf das Engels-Becken, in dem Schwäne und auch Schildkröten vor sich hertreiben. Im Sommer isst man auf der großen Terasse. Das Essensangebot ist okay, es gibt die "Standard" Frühstücks - also Brötchen mit Aufschnitt und Kuchen. Veganer / Glutenunverträgliche haben hier eher Probleme etwas zu finden. Es ist es aber einfach Wert auf einen Kaffee im Sommer hier zu sitzen!

(Translated by Google) The Engelbecken is one of my secret favorite places in Berlin. It is a small spot of nature in the middle of an impulsive big city. At the pond you can see various animals especially in spring / summer. In addition to swans, there are also many turtles and a crane. In summer it is a well-attended place. Many sat in groups to the pond to relax. Some of them want to enjoy the beauty of the pond, but unfortunately do not want to put away their garbage afterwards. Still a really beautiful place. Right there is the Engelbecken Cafe. Nice service, priced a bit higher than normal. The food and drinks are always fresh and lovingly prepared. Definitely worth a recommendation, if only for the beautiful idyll. (Original) Das Engelbecken ist einer meiner heimlichen Lieblingsorte Berlins. Es ist ein kleiner Fleck Natur mitten in einer impulsiven Großstadt. An dem Teich sieht man gerade im Frühling/Sommer diverse Tiere. Neben Schwänen, gibt es auch ganz viele Wasserschildkröten und einen Kranich. Im Sommer ist es ein gut besuchten Platz. Viele setzten sich in Gruppen an den Teich zum relaxen. Einige von ihnen wollen zwar die Schönheit des Teiches genießen, hinterher aber leider nicht ihren Müll wegräumen. Dennoch ein wirklich wunderschöner Ort. Direkt dort befindet sich das Engelbecken Cafe. Nett Bedienung, preislich etwas höher als normal. Wobei die Speisen und Getränke immer frisch und liebevoll angerichtet sind. Definitiv eine Epfehlung wert, schon allein für die schöne Idylle.

Jazz and beer

Nice lake view

(Translated by Google) Good place for coffee and cake. On Sunday afternoon after 4 p.m. it is even the only café in this neighborhood where cakes are served. Specifically, there are different types of brittle cake according to the type of house. On nice sunny days it is quite crowded outside, but in addition to the more comfortable places there are also beer table-style ones. The prices are slightly higher for Berlin standards, but in view of the first-class location right on the water with a swan view, it is quite reasonable. (Original) Guter Platz für Kaffee und Kuchen. Am Sonntagnachmittag nach 16 Uhr ist es sogar das einzige Café in diesem Kietz, an dem es Torte gibt. Konkret sind es verschiedene Sorten Krokant-Torte nach Art des Hauses. An schönen sonnigen Tagen ist es draußen recht voll, es gibt aber neben den komfortableren Plätzen noch zusätzliche im Biertisch-Stil. Die Preise sind für Berliner Verhältnisse leicht gehoben, aber angesichts der erstklassigen Location direkt am Wasser mit Schwanen-Sicht durchaus angemessen.

Beautiful view with good coffee. They also have a selection of cakes that were nice. A definitely must-go if you want a relaxed time over coffee.

Location is good, service is the worst. I ordered a drink and the waitress came but it was about raining and i told her can I go inside because it is raining. I have laptop, book and backpack and she told yeah sure take it with you because I don’t know where you wanna stay. I didn’t have a free hand, she didn’t even offer any kind of help! I never had such rude behavior like this in Berlin!

We were there for a little stop during exploring Berlin. Café am Engelbecken is a very pretty place with a nice view. The service was super friendly and seemed to have fun working there. We didn't eat there, but enjoyed our refreshing beverages!

Very friendly staff, hospitable and good service. The location is beautiful right next to a pond and the ambience is great very spacious indoors.

Delicious food and large servings. Friendly staff and beautiful setting.

Nice, modern café with a view to the water, delicious cakes and good coffee. The food menu looks good too, but we didn't have any. In the Spring, the roses are out and the turtles come out of hibernation, making the gardens opposite a small Eden.

A bit pricey for a coffee. Especially a double espresso! In the summer it is a nice place to sit though. Maybe better for a tea. Overall probably just sit around the lake

Great view! Average cakes. Service is not the best, sometimes i waited for long to order but its okay.

Great view to a small lake filled with swans and ducks good food and good prices

Super ! Very tasty and fast! I mean really REALLY tasty!

A truly wonderful café, with a spectacular outdoor patio seating area that overlooks a pond, park, and green space ?⛲️✨. Not to mention the pastries & cakes are homemade and quite delicious. On a pleasant day the Café am Engelbecken is a fantastic place to hang out and relax.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful view of the nice lake. Very good food. Friendly service. (Original) Wunderschöne Aussicht auf den nett angelegten See. Sehr gutes Essen. Freundliche Bedienung.

Good drink options but a lack of good desserts which seemed off for a cafe.

The place is well located by the lake, nice view but the service is not that good. I asked the barman about the menu didn't answer properly, was rude.

Lovely ambiance, get the cheese breakfast platter.. it was huge and had a curry cream on it that was devine. The service from a young lady was friendly, efficient and professional. Good spot to go to even when the summer season is over!

Amazing location right next to the water. It's a nice place if you just want to have a drink, although the drinks are pretty pricey compared to other places in the city. Eating is definitely not adviced here. With a traditional german "look" and feeling, this place serves ONLY mediocre asian food and a few overpriced salads, as well as some breakfasts (which I didn't try). The quality of canned and frozen food is the least you would expect in such place. Weird decoration, mix of "biergarten", modern plasticky and at night red neons reminding of a road gas station, or worse, a road bar. Service was ok but not very motivated. With a bit of enthusiasm, new decoration and new menu (and new cook), the place could be amazing.

Clean, delicous & frish food.they Server breakfast and asin food, Salat, soups. Nice, frindely waitres. Nice view on the lake wich is relaxing and Calming weather, but unfortunately kind of comfartable seats. In the photo Dish N. 6 with 0.4l mango Saft which was alot. So any one with big appetite will be satisfied and will leave with a full stomch?. I recommend it It was a nice experience.

Beautiful location, lovely staff. A nice place for summer night drinks.

The view is magnificent! The food is terrible though.. they just heat up frozen asian food from Aldi (cheap supermarket) and sell it for 8x the money. The staff is young, friendly and don't really know what they're doing.

A beautiful setting looking across the pool. It's very tranquil for somewhere so near Mitte. My breakfast was delicious and not tpo expensive. It tated really fresh and was served in good time. Can't fault the service in any way. Stsff eere great. Inside, there is plenty of room and spotlessly clean toilets. A great find that I came upon by chance.

(Translated by Google) You can't always order tasty breakfast and you don't always feel like Asian. But there are sandwiches too. (Original) Lecker leider frühstück kann man nicht immer bestelen und auf asiatisch hat man nicht immer Lust. Aber es gibt Sandwiches auch.hat geschmäkt.

Needs renovation. Nice sitting though.

(Translated by Google) The customers are king? Not here. Sit in the sun? No! There are 6 (empty) tables in the shade. That's why it's locked in the sun. And there is no discussion, reports the frightened waitress who is not allowed to bring blankets to the wet tables in the shade. The toast is burned instead of salmon comes chicken ... if you have rented one of the most beautiful places in Berlind, you can afford it. The lousy radio from the radio is also annoying. (Original) Die Kunden sind König? Nicht hier. In der Sonne sitzen? Nein! Im Schatten sind 6 ( leere) Tische mehr. Deswegen ist in der Sonne gesperrt. Und wird auch nicht diskutiert berichtet die erschreckte serviererin die keine Decken zu den nassen Tischen im Schatten bringen darf . Das Toast ist angebrannt statt Lachs kommt Huhn...wer einen der schönsten Plätze Berlind gepachtet hat kann sich so etwas eben erlauben. Die miese Mukke aus dem Radio stört auch.

(Translated by Google) Not particularly friendly. Chairs filthy on the outside with bird droppings, but insist that the chairs must not be moved. We "dared" to get a third from the next table at a table with two chairs. The waitress came immediately shot. Of course not to bring us the card. We probably would have had to wait longer for them, but to fold up because of the chair sale. Everything is so "removed", so nothing can be changed. All right ... ? (Original) Nicht besonders freundlich. Stühle außen mit Vogelkot verdreckt, aber darauf bestehen, dass die Stühle nicht verschoben werden dürfen. Wir hatten es "gewagt", an einen Tisch mit zwei Stühlen noch einen Dritten vom Nachbartisch zu holen. Sofort kam die Bedienung angeschossen. Natürlich nicht, um uns die Karte zu bringen. Auf die hätten wir vermutlich länger warten müssen, sondern um uns zu wegen der Stuhlaktion zusammenzufalten. Es sei alles so "abgenommen", daher darf nichts verändert werden. Alles klar...?

(Translated by Google) ... a perfect place where everything is right. Gladly again and again. (Original) ... ein perfektes Plätzchen wo alles stimmt. Gern immer wieder.
