I love you, Coffee Cross. I finished my entire dissertation writing here while remaining properly…read morecaffeinated and fed. Best coffee and best carrot cake in Dahlem. When sick, or in the afternoon on a cold day, get a fantastic hot ginger tea (order the special "Coffee Cross" Ingwertee) that comes with a spruce of mint and a squeeze of orange juice in the bottom. At lunch, there's a hot homemade oven-baked meal: vegetarian and non-veg options, just 4,50 euros and always tasty, like eating my mom's home-cooked food. The atmosphere is ideal. It's quiet and warm inside, feels like someone's living room. Outside, there's a great sunny terrace. And finally, all the staff are polite and provide great service. The main manager who greeted me many days when I was writing or working is a lovely, caring, and friendly person. We always exchange pleasantries and she always asks about my daughter.

After touring the nearby museum, come here for lunch or a snack. That is what I did! I had a very…read morenice salami sandwich on pretzel bread, a apple tart, and a cappuccino all for a very reasonable price in a cute little cafe. Much nicer, and less expensive, than what was being served in the museum cafe/resturant. The also have a nice selection of breads that I hungered for but didn't try. The cutest baby mini croissants as well! Just a bite of heaven.

Typical coffee shop with comfortable chairs in & outdoor. It's a rainy-weather day, so cooping inside with warm coffee & out-looking the (big glass) window is an lovely option. While the background music plays soft acoustic version of some well-known music (classy!)...it's my favorite spot for now :) It also service small & healthy kind of sandwiches. Not open on Sundays.

A lovely bakery in Dahlem…read more * * * Food tip in Germany. (It works for France too.) Pretty much every bakery you see serves some kind of lunch and some kind of breakfast. Germany has many more cooked breakfasts and lunches than France does. In France your only option might be quiches and sandwiches. In Germany, there will be a small to medium size menu of options for both meals. Bakery breakfast and lunches are nearly always good. That makes them a good choice in dubious neighborhoods where you might not be otherwise thrilled about your options. * * * Dahlem is NOT a dubious neighborhood. It is one of the most properous quarters in Berlin. Everything is pleasantly upscale. Dahlem-dorf, where Baci's, is located, has upper-middle-class food establishments. These are not unlike what you might find in Ridgewood, New Jersey or Newton, Massachusetts. You could probably eat anywhere in the village and do well. * * * We ate at Baci's and did well. My lovely wife had a perfectly nice avocado bagel and good coffee. I had an impressive sweet potato soup. The sweet potato soup made me forget what I had on the side and what I had for dessert. But I remember the dessert being good and the sweet potato soup being a real treat. * * * Baci's calls itself an American bakery. The baked goods are not all that different from what is found in other bakeries in Berlin. Globalization has taken over German bakeries the way it has taken over German restaurants and German restaurants. Everyone does French croissants. Everyone does American chocolate chip cookies. Lots of people do M & M cookies. Heavy German rye breads can be found, But they represent a small part of the offerings. What is particularly American about Baci's is the coffee house style decoration. What is for lunch is written on a blackboard. The establishment looks a lot like the Moosewood Cafe in Ithaca, New York. Dahlem-Dorf is pretty. The big windows give you a nice view of Dahlem-Dorf. And the interior decoration is pretty. You can do well here. * * * P.S. This is the last of my Berlin reviews. Next stop: Central Texas !!

Coffee and teas are both very good and service is quick and a German sort of friendly ;) My one, tiny, little grumble is that one of the men who works there did not know what an everything bagel was despite it being both on the menu and in a basket directly in front of him. Not sure what he would have called it. It was an off moment and easily fixed - now I ask for sesame bagels.

It had that taste like you get when you brush your teeth or have a mint, then have orange juice. We wife got a pesto spaghetti dish. She said it was good but too much sauce. I got the rindgoulasch. The sauce was overly tomato-ey, didn't have the nice spices and flavors that goulasch normally does here. Spätzle is spätzle, but the beef in the dish was perfect. All-in-all we spent like €25-€30, and while the setting was great, the food really wasn't worth walking back down there for.
