‘Coffee, Food, Booze’, what more could we ask for? Berliners
love their bikes, and Silo pays homage to their two-wheeled
companions with a mounted vintage bicycle on the back wall. You’ll
find all the customary hanging light bulbs, woody finishings and
brick walls in this Australian café, but the outstanding coffee and
delicious brunches set it apart from other spots. Try their baked
eggs, which come with chewy sourdough bread baked locally in
Kreuzberg, or their stack of fried brioche with orange blossom
poached apples. Their coffee selection changes with the harvest
seasons, and each cup is brewed with loving devotion. Get here
early on weekends, because we’re not the only fans of this
place.

This is a bakery, micro-roastery and café, with some of the best
cheesecake we’ve ever tasted. At Five Elephant, they are serious
about their coffee, with beans sourced from all over the globe and
public tasting sessions held every Friday from 12 to 2PM. But we
just couldn’t get past that light, creamy cheesecake. Grab a table
out front for perfect people watching, or head inside where world
maps plaster the walls of the bright, airy interior.

Beards, beer and (shuffle) boards make Kaschk our idea of the
perfect early evening hangout. Located in Mitte, this wood-clad,
pseudo-Scandi bar is a local favourite, with some of the city’s
best craft beers on tap. During the day, Kaschk serves a delicious
medley of bakes and coffee, and is perfect for a drizzly afternoon
indoors reading while slowly becoming over-caffeinated.
