    Great coffee (even the beans to go for Italian coffee maker get a lot of compliments at home) and cakes (and not only the cheese cake.. carrot cake, other fruits cakes). Not cheap but a nice treat

    Yes the coffee is amazing, but cakes and tarts are simply out of this world. Both the taste of the cheesecake and the texture was perfect, and i haven't eaten anything close to it anywhere else.

    Fantastic coffee, and their beans are consistently among the Berlin's best, but wouldn't recommend visiting on weekends since it's way too busy and the service isn't particularly friendly either.

    Try the banana bread 🍞 Just love the whole concept: the vibe, cakes, beans, ethics, sluggish service, no WiFi. The real deal

    One of my fav coffee shops in the city. Great flat white, cappuccino, and cakes. Do NOT skip the coconut or carrot cake.

    Best cheesecake I've ever had. Light, not too sweet, and pairs perfectly with any of their coffees (I chose a cortado). Sit outside and don't feel bad about eating the entire slice - everyone does.

    Heard a lot about their cheesecake and I discovered that the stories say nothing but the truth! Coffee was excelent and the cake pure heaven. Only hope this will bring smile to the faces of the staff.

    First morning in Berlin, so I needed some good coffee. As we entered we received a smile. Even though I'm not so much into desserts I had an amazing pie, highly recommended.

    Great coffee! I also like their pastries a lot. It's mainly for meetups & reading a book though, cause they don't like people to use laptops in the main room.

    Probably the best cheesecake you will eat in your life! (In Kreuzberg, because at Mitte it’s small, same price, and it’s not good). Very good coffee.

    There is no need to discuss the amazing coffee... I finally tried the cheesecake and it really is heaven on earth, not too sweet and dreamy creamy ❤️

    Super cute spot, outside seating is great - but no wifi if you're looking for a place to work. If you don't need wifi there is specified tables in the back for laptops.

    Wonderful coffee, wonderful cafe. Super friendly baristas who are more than happy to chat and help you make your decision. Sitting outside on a summer afternoon is the perfect afternoon activity.

    Excellent coffee and sublime cheesecake (and other cakes). Gets very busy, because everyone loves them. Don't go here to sit with a laptop. Go with friends and share cheesecake, talk to people

    They are so friendly here, but more importantly their coffee is awesome (as are their cakes) both of which are spreading throughout Berlin. This is the source.

    Around 18h the famous cheesecake was gone so I tried the blueberry tart. Really delicious! Good to share with a friend as it is too sweet for my taste! cappuccino was also great! Not milky at all!

    Excellent service. Variety of beans. My favorite is always a South American. The branch I have been to a bit away from the central but worth the visit. Nice vibes.

    A perfect holiday consists of a good cup of coffee, a slice of five elephant cheesecake and a nice chat with your favorite person on one of the benches in front of the cafe.

    Best coffee in Neukölln by far. Katie's Blue Cat comes in second, as they have more baked goods. But if you are looking for quality coffee and nice environment, this is the place. Avoid wooden stools.

    to go there, consider glogauer str. rather than reichenberger str. Cause it is end of reichenberger :) So good coffee that they roasted themselves ! Cheesecakes are as far the best ones !

    There's no wifi and if you have a laptop, you're stuck in the back room so just bring a book and enjoy the friendly staff and delicious coffee. Beautiful little shop!

    Coffee beans roasted in house, wonderful banana cake. There's wifi but during rush hours only at the counter. They have just a couple of tables, plus extra outside seating when weather allows.

    First time ever I had a cappuccino without sugar, simply because the coffee is so good and mild it doesn't need any addition. Bought the Ethiopia beans because they seem to be best for French Press.

    As a New Yorker I'm scared to say this but their cheesecake is absolutely divine. Unlike anything you've ever had. The other cakes are worth trying too.

    The cheesecake is a legend also in the sense that you will never experience it in real life. I don't believe it actually exists because is never there :( Had an amazing coffee though!

    Awesome coffee specialties and they roast their own in the back of the shop! Two slices of banana bread per portion and cute baristas on the side;-).
