Coffee, Tea, chocolate, chai.. basically anything a caffein addict or chocolate craver could ask for is served. With that, you get some of the best bagels in town (try the "French" on sesame). If your travels should ever take you to this (rather posh) part of Berlin, be sure to stop by here.

Wow wow and WOW! This Café in beautiful Zehlendorf is an absolute insider. It's 1,5 km from my home…read moreand I can't believe I haven't discovered it up to this day. When I first came in I was absolutely stunned by the nice and cozy flair. When I spotted the display of the deliciously looking cakes I immediately started taking pictures. The lady working at the Café seemed a bit confused, rather distanced at first (because of that reserved attitude and her lovely southern accent I was guessing she must be from Baden-Württemberg), almost worried that something was/is wrong. Quite the contrary, I was in love with this place from the first moment on! So I sat down on a very cute little table right next to the window and ordered one of the 2 soups of the day-I took the red lentils with coconut although the red beet soup with orange and ginger sounded just as good! It didn't take very long and the soup was ready to be eaten... well no... I had to take pictures first, of course! Not only the lovely presentation on a wooden board but also the fact that it was served with bread (super fresh and delicious) & butter decorated with parsley screamed for being photographed! And now the taste-very good, even a bit spicy which I love, simply delicious! Besides that I was very much enjoying the atmosphere-the white furniture, the beautiful pictures on the walls, the book shelves and magazines, fresh flowers on each table and not to forget ALL these treats behind the counter! Although the Café was well attended from when I got there, more and more people came and I noticed that a lot of them must be regular guests as the waitress (I'm assuming she's the owner of Milch&Honig, too) was talking to many in a very familiar way, she even knew their preferences offering either special cakes or varieties of lactose, gluten free, vegan. Very impressive! So as I sat there watching and observing, I couldn't get my eyes off the yummy looking cakes and each time I realized a new one that had just been brought out of the kitchen. What a tough decision but I finally decided on the cheesecake and OMG let me tell you-it was fantastic-so creamy, so tender, so fluffy, sooooooo good-I especially loved that it wasn't too sweet! It even had a bit of a lemon taste as well-hence I'm in love even more and know I'll be back here very very soon! Thank you so much for such amazing delights! BTW-the lady is from Baden ;-)

After a stroll along the lake we went down to Goodies for a sunny treat yesterday afternoon. We ordered the raw blueberry cake and vegan wrap as well coffee and a Matcha tea. I was absolutely amazed with the cake so delicious and zesty and matched the Matcha perfectly while enjoying the first sunny spells over Schlachtensee.

I think this may be my first review of a restaurant in Berlin. When we first moved to Zehlendorf,…read moremy first worry was "where can I find good food?" I can't believe it has taken me a year to realize this place existed. That is a year of choosing restaurants that are not to the level of this restaurant, and I am ashamed. I ordered the bibimbap with chicken, and it was the best meal I have had at a restaurant in a looooooong time. The bonus was the affordable prices of all the dishes. Since having that meal, I have not stopped thinking about the flavors. I just might have to have one last meal here before the start of the school year to mourn the end of the summer break.

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.

After a couple hours admiring and enjoying the breathtaking Ethnologisches Museum, the Museum für Asiatische Kunst and etc., this is a great rest point to recharge yourself. Eßkultur is on the ground floor, which offers coffee, juices and some cakes. If you are hungry than better go to the restaurant downstairs. They also seats open air, which allow you sit in the middle of the museums. The price is surprisingly reasonable, service is quite friendly as well, beside English and German, I also heard some of the staff speaking French. The café itself is really close to one of the entrances of Dahlem museums. Which made it easy to find and it also close to the gifts/books shop, very convenient if you want to buy some copies of the collection here exhibited. There are also some flyers about the different programs happening at the moment and some infos about the museums here, really helpful. It's just right in front the café entrance, you won't miss it
