Cute cafe, GREAT COFFEE…read more Seriously, I've had some roughy attempts getting coffee since moving to Europe and this place has been one of the best I've found. The prices were reasonable and the staff was friendly. I didn't get a chance to try the breakfast, but it all looked perfect. Also important to note that they don't take credit cards :)

I came a bit before opening, but the baristas were kind enough to get my drink going while they were still stocking the case. They were gracious and helpful. Lastly, their latte art was A++. I sampled their cappuccino, some of their black coffee, and a lemon poppyseed cake, and everything was delicious. The portions were sizable and reasonably priced. I'll definitely be making this a regular stop when I'm in the area. Logistical notes: the free WiFi didn't work for me, but there were other public networks nearby that fit my needs. They have clean restrooms. They *do* take cards, but there is a purchase minimum of €4.

Great coffee shop in Berlin with excellent food options open early on Sunday mornings! My running…read moreteammates and I were looking for something to eat before going to cheer at the marathon and this is the only spot we could find open in the immediate area at 9 am - thank goodness because it was excellent! I ordered a black coffee, vegan apple crumble to go and the avocado toast with smoked salmon. The toast took a bit longer than I anticipated to come out but when it did the portion was huge - two thick slices of bread and a side salad! It was so delicious I wish I could have finished it all. I took the apple crumble to go as a course side snack for later and it did not disappoint - hours later it was still incredibly tasty! I definitely have this place saved for next time I'm in town regardless of what time it is or what other options are open!

This place has a chill vibe and good food. I ordered their "birria," which was not like traditional…read moreMexican-style birria, but it was very tasty.For example, it wasn't served in a tortilla, but on an open-faced sandwich, and topped with crispy onions, which added a nice texture. It did come with a dipping sauce, but didn't taste like the traditional consommé.... it was more of a marinated flavor. Since it was served as an open-faced sandwich, I couldn't dip it in the sauce, but drizzled it over the top. If you're not a birria "purist," you can enjoy this sandwich for what it is: it's flavorful pulled meat, served creatively. While I was eating, the cafe filled up completely, so it's obviously a popular hangout. Some of the other menu items looked good, too. A nice place on a quiet side street in Prenzlauer Berg.

Brunch hangs with my bro in Berlin :)…read more It just so happened that my globe trotting brother and his gf were passing through Berlin when we were there. If that's not fate, then I don't know what is. Cafe Butter was highly recommended by my local friends. It's got quite a large space with classic wood interiors and a big door that spills open into their very spacious outdoor seating. Brunching here in the summer is the best with a mimosa in hand and big umbrellas over your head. Sit inside if you want faster service. Their brunch offerings vary from big portions of classic German baskets + bread baskets to just a croissant and coffee. On Sundays, they have a brunch buffet for €10. The coffee is pricey, about €3 for a large cup. I opted for a large chai latte (same price) and loved the foamy top! It took about 25 minutes before our brunch came out. Considering the place was only semi-full and we sat inside where the servers have a direct view of us, this is typical Berlin service. I've learned to slow down and really enjoy my food instead of constantly wanting to be in and out of a place in under an hour like a typical American. The food is worth the wait! My brother had a typical German breakfast of sliced meats and cheeses along with a big bread basket, his gf had a mushroom omelette and I tried the Scandinavian breakfast. The shrimp in my omelette reminded me of frozen shrimp but all the other side dishes like herring paste, anchovy, etc were so delicious! If you're squeamish about anchovy, do not get this breakfast entree. The portions are large and a bit pricey for Berlin overall, but you are in Prenzlau and that's to be expected. Take the U bahn to Eberwalderstrasse/Pappelallee and walk two blocks to get to Cafe Butter. Make sure to allot at least 1.5 hours to enjoy your brunch, it's mandatory mental health restoration time.

The food is very nice, and the Miso Ramen is really good. They offer even vegetarian and vegan versions of it, although you might have to ask for the vegan one - I think it wasn't on the menu.
