    Good coffee or not! This gentrified cafe with their privileged customers think they can block the pavement where people pass everyday so they enjoy their over priced coffee!! And then they leave their trash everywhere!! 🗑

    Heute war ich das erste Mal dort und das obwohl ich die Straße seit über 13 Jahren fast tagtäglich entlanglaufe. Obwohl das Café immer gut besucht ist, was auf zufriedene Kunden hindeutet, hatte ich nie das Bedürfnis dort selbst Kunde zu werden. Heute dann habe ich mich mal überwunden und beschlossen dort etwas zu essen und zu trinken. Ich bestellte den Croissant Teller für 3,00€ und dazu eine kleine Tasse Cappucciono, die 3,30€ gekostet hat. Bezahlen kann man mit Bargeld oder Karte, wobei hier bei Kartenzahlung das neumodische amerikanische Trinkgeldsystem zum Einsatz kommt. Bedeutet: Man zahlt mit Karte und auf dem Display, hat man die Option die prozentuale Höhe des Trinkgelds zu wählen. Alternativ kann man auch eine individuelle Summe bestimmen oder auf Trinkgeld verzichten. Ehrlich ich bin kein Freund von dieser Entwicklung. Es gibt Sitzplätze drinnen und draußen. Ich saß drinnen und merkte gleich, dass sich das Café weniger an die 08/15 "Ich trink mal eben einen Kaffee" Gäste richtet, sondern mehr an Leute, die den Genuss einer oder mehrerer Tassen Kaffee damit verbinden möchten etwas zu arbeiten (habe ich auch gemacht 😁). Das nötige WLAN kann man kostenlos nutzen. Außerdem gibt es Steckdosen für notwendige Stromversorgung. Das Croissant, der Haselnuss Aufstrich und der Cappuccino haben gut geschmeckt. Die Mitarbeiter waren freundlich und die Atmosphäre empfand ich als angenehm.

    This hipster coffee place is a very good example of the sad imbalance of customer service, quality and price in Berlin's "coffee scene" these days. I paid over 9€ for an average grilled cheese sandwich, adding a tip (for the self-service concept haha) and did not receive a thank you, but grumpy looks. In the priciest city that I call my home, namely Tel Aviv, the sandwich might not have been cheaper, but the taste had been better and the service friendlier.

    Coffee didn't taste good it was way too intense in the taste. Cafe shop was ok basic chairs some sofas, more like a "left scene" cafe also the people/customers there. You can work on your laptop durring the week. But music is a little too loud. Self service, expensive prices. Its ok but I don't recommend would not go there again.

    I really liked their filter coffee. The one I had was fruity, low in acid and not sour at all. The staff is nice and so it is the ambience.

    Somehow I find myself in this cafe every weekend and I ask myself why? The coffee is good but overpriced, the carrot and hummus sandwich is some kind of abomination, the cups have no handles (??) but if you're lucky you get a free thimble of water too. For some strange reason there's also usually about 8 people working behind the tiny counter, the crammed seating means you're constantly made to feel too big to fit in the place. Also what's up with tiny school chairs outside so you feel gigantic? And yet here I am again, currently writing this review from inside, collecting stamps on my card. I'm three away from a free coffee - See you next weekend Leuchtstoff!

    I just drink black coffee, americano or cafe crema. To be honest they have the badest black coffee I ever had in this area. It’s not black, it’s brown and full of water.

    This cafe is trendy among local hipsters. Although the location feels alternative, this might be misleading, as the prices are on the high side. Although expensive, pastries are nothing special here. The cafe fares better. In summer, this place gets too hot to sit indoors, whereas outdoors, there is no shadow. A better option is to take away and walk to the nearby parks.

    Croissant is crunchy but not tasty. Lack of taste of butter. Great to be able to work but Super busy.

    Sehr sympathisches Cafe, vor dem bei halbwegs gutem Wetter immer Menschen sitzen, die Kaffee trinken und Kuchen oder eine selbst gemachte Waffel essen... Der Cappuccino schmeckt hier ausgezeichnet und die Leute sind immer sehr freundlich. Die Waffel schmeckt mir persönlich nicht so gut, aber Freunde lieben sie ...

    I love it. The interior ordered is very interesting not something that we got used to see in coffee shops. There are places you can climb like a mini second floor open space with places to sit and tables which is cool. Super friendly stuff that speaks perfect English. Reality coffee and even vegan desert, vegan milk, alternative coffee. I love it! Seems like a very popular place.

    Wow. Excellent. No penalty for choosing non-dairy milk. Excellent choice of roasters. Eccentric indoor seating. Update June 2023: Even their iced drinks are so good. Nowhere else in Berlin does an iced espresso beverage taste so naturally sweet and balanced. €4.80 for a very generous size. I wish other cafés cared so much about what their offering tastes like :/

    Cute shop with woefully low wifi near to none but it comes with seats for maybe around 20 people with a small loft ladder for couches upstairs. Not ideal if you want to work from your laptop there but only for a cup of coffee on your way out.

    Not worth it for price. The croissants aren’t freshly made and they are just as expensive if you were to go to a artisanal store. Save your money at zeit fur Brot where it’s more fresh and cheaper. The cappuccinos sometimes come out lukewarm and not hot at all. For a place so expensive, it needs to be consistent. Too many times I’ve had mediocre coffee there. Find somewhere else or make your own. Only pro I can think of is that they let you pay by card.

    Vibrant place with a good selection of coffees, including packets of coffee to brew at home.

    Super nice bar. Great coffee! Tasty bakery. Sit inside or outside. Bit pricy. Friendly and alternative people. I like the transparency report - more (better all) stores should have this.

    I really enjoyed the vibes of the place. I really recommend to hang there for a long coffee chat. It's worth it. The coffee and the food were nice, although a bit pricey.

  • 5/5 Alper �. 3 months ago on Google • 36 reviews New
    The best coffee for miles in this part of town. I love their cooperative and more scrambled together approach which is less glossy and more fun. Always worth a stop.

  • 5/5 Fabrice B. 5 months ago on Google • 12 reviews
    The food is a little bit expensive but of high quality and creativity 🫶🏻 Don't go for a short pause - come and hang out for a bit

    My favorite neighborhood café. The coffee they serve is perfection. Love the hipster crowd, the vibe, transparency, and unpretentiousness of this place.

👍 The queue can get really long in a very short amount of time. We were lucky and waited for about 5 minutes before placing our order.
