Cafés

The streets of Berlin are choc-a-bloc full of cafés. They've got everything that you need for a good start to the day, from lactose-free latte macchiato to a hearty buffet. You can grab a quick coffee to go and take a walk through one of the many parks in Berlin. Join the hoards of digital nomads tapping away at their laptops while sipping flat whites. Meet friends and family over brunch with crunchy sourdough bread and a generous spread of cold cuts and jams. In some cases, the distinction between cafés and bars in Berlin is not that obvious. Many places will serve you delicious meals all day, pour you a hot cup of coffee to keep you awake and will mix you a cocktail later in the night. Versatility is what Berlin is all about!
