Cafés & Coffee in Berlin

Coffee in Berlin comes more often from a bakery counter than from a café proper: 36 of these 53 places are also bakeries. The dedicated coffee shops include Smaragd Specialty Coffee on Berliner Allee in Weißensee, The Coffee Club on Wielandstraße in Charlottenburg and vej coffee at Am Lokdepot in Schöneberg, which opens only from Wednesday to Saturday. For an early start, Cafe Milchgesicht on Frankfurter Allee opens at 6 AM daily, while Café Schroeder on Schröderstraße in Mitte is a brunch café whose reviews keep returning to pancakes. Pastry leads elsewhere: Paska.L Choux on Kollwitzstraße, with two more branches in Mitte, centres on choux pastry, and the Portuguese Bakery on Dänenstraße sells pastéis de nata. Out in Spandau, Konak Cafe on Klosterstraße serves waffles and baklava until midnight. Most places that list a price give €1–10 per person.
