Best cafes in Berlin in my opinion!
Hey guys! It’s me again :)
In this post I will talk about cafes ;) In the last post I told you a bit about the city I come from, Belgrade, and I mentioned how it’s in my culture to sit in cafes and restaurants and just have the love towards them. Also, I talked to my mom the other day, and she said: “You loved restaurants since you were a little child!”
So, since I have lived in Berlin for almost 4 years now, I can say that I have mastered cafes and good brunch places. There are plenty of places worth visiting, and I could write on this several pages but I will pick my 10 favourite places for this post.
1. For the start, forever favourite, FECHTNER! Fechtner is a small gem, located in one of the busiest places in Berlin, Rosetnhaler Platz. The food is so good and what I love the most is the healthy feeling that I get after every meal. Apart from the food, I would definitely recommend caffe latte with oat milk (matcha latte is also super nice) and the fresh juices!
2. Staying in the area, just behind the corner, there are two more places that I often visit. First I am going to mention is, SUPERFOODS & ORGANIC LIQUIDS. Whenever I have matcha cravings, this is the place I go to. Matcha latte with coconut milk, muesli with matcha yogurt (coconut yogurt), and a matcha cookie are definitely made in matcha heaven. (Another location in Charlottenburg)

3. Just across the street, DALUMA is one of the busiest and most visited cafes in Berlin, I would say. Again they never run out of the healthy options when it comes both to food and drinks. What also makes all of these places unique, but mostly Daluma, is the interior. The feeling of entering the jungle, and especially in cold days, it just makes everything better. (They also have a new location in Charlottenburg that I still have to visit)
4. FATHER CARPENTER, has probably one of the best coffees I have ever had in my life! It is hidden in Mitte, close to Weinmeisterstraße metro station, and the second you enter their back yard you can hear voices of many visitors who cheerfully enjoy their coffee and food.

5. You probably figured it out, that my favourite spots are located in Mitte haha. A bit down the road, a place I have been passing next to for years, and only recently decided to try out - FUNK YOU. The best out of the best avocado toast for sure! I had a deal with some friends to try out every avo toast in Berlin and find the best one, we did not try them all but from the ones we did this is the best!
6. When I think of TINMAN the first thing that pops in my eyes is the baby-pink colour. Such a cute cafe with amazing brunch and coffee and very friendly staff! It’s again, in Mitte, on Rosa-Luxemburg Platz, just a few steps from Torstraße.
7. To make a break from the brunch places, I present to you BRAMMIBAL’S vegan donuts! I wouldn’t consider myself as a person with a sweet tooth, but these donuts are simply the best! I really recommend everyone to visit this place, but especially to non-vegans, just so they could experience how this kind of food can have such strong amazing flavours! (A few locations in the city)

8. Now, a bit further away, in Kreuzberg, HALLESCHES HAUS is most definitely one of the nicest cafes I’ve been to when it comes to the interior, but also food and coffee wise. Apart from amazing salads, meals, sandwiches, the variety of cakes they have is really good too! Coffee and matcha beverages are right on point too! If you visit the place in summer, please sit in their garden since is so nice and calming, hidden away from the busy streets. What also makes this place very special, is the store they have right next to the lunchroom, be prepared to spend some money in there. Carefully curated products such as, kitchen stuff (HAY design!), plants, Rains backpacks, and so many other that change from time to time.

9. THE VISIT
, is funnily enough the cafe I visit the most from all of these, just because it’s the perfect combination of amazing food, excellent coffee, friendly staff and the fact that is only 5 minutes walking from where I live right now haha. They have a few locations in the city but all of them are worth visiting.
10. Katjes Café Grün-Ohr is a small cafe in the heart of Mitte (again haha), few minutes away from Hackescher Markt. Yes I know I said that I’m not really a sweets lover, but yes I also know the place with the best vegan cakes in town. And that is exactly this one! The recently renovated interior is so adorable and cozy that you definitely lose the track of time spent there, it’s like the world stops. You probably know about the Katjes candy, vegetarian gummy bears, piggies, bunnies and unicorns are also the part of the cafe (it also says in the name).
I hope this was useful and hopefully you go and check all of these places out. If you do, let me know which one you liked the most :) Also, if you like this post, and want to see more of the Berlin’s hidden gems, feel free to write me and I will write more in the future!
I wish you all a lovely end of the day!
