'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.
