    the infamous cheesecake
    Patricia Z.

    Five Elephant's cheesecake is a dream come true. I typically dislike the idea of cheese and cake together, but wow this cake proved me wrong. It is creamy, buttery, and crumbles-in-your-mouth delicious. The topmost layer is a tart, yogurtlike cream, while the middle is creamy and sweet... and the best part is the crust - a perfect balance of graham cracker and cinnamon. I would come back for the cheesecake in a heartbeat. It is dangerous to stay too long, because like me, you will end up ordering more than one slice.

    Walking on the water. This is living example how to stay focus and deliver very best in every cup!

    Another thing I heard about Berlin is the third wave coffee movement. Brooklyn has plenty of third wave coffee shops so I thought I'd check out a few places in Berlin to compare. This place was just a short walk from Restaurant Bastard and since I wanted slightly better coffee my brother brought me here. I did like their coffee a lot but not enough to warrant 5 stars. I enjoyed my cortado but I didn't quite get the impression that this would be one of my favorite spots if I lived here.

    Lovely coffee shop with delectable cakes. We had the philly cheesecake which I would highly recommend (and split with a friend/loved one as its incredibly rich).

    If the coffee and the cakes weren't that good, I'd give this place less than 3 Stars! Staff does not offer the most welcoming service and the atmosphere is nothing special as well. Their products are pretty good though!

    Unbeatable cheesecake and decent apple pie

    This is a super cute cafe that you should definitely check out if you're near Görlitzer Park! If you're a big cheesecake fan, I'd even say it's worth the hike over from the East Side Gallery. A friend referred me to this place with the claim that they serve the world's best cheesecake, and she certainly wasn't exaggerating! In addition to their killer speciality, this place is also lovely due to its laid-back European feel and interior, extensive outdoor seating arrangement, and quality coffee and (non-cheesecake) treats.

    A Huge piece of the infamous creamy cheesecake...base was very cinnamony and filling not zingy enough for my liking though!

    I stayed a week in Kaffee Kirsche's kiez between apartments and came in for coffee at least four…read moretimes. The lattes were great. The one time I got a flat white to go, it was just okay. I don't think the microfoam held up well in the paper cup. I didn't get a chance to do a pour over but they seemed to be popular. They sell coffee roasted in-house. Depending on which roast you purchased, you could get some really fresh coffee. Some bags were marked as being roasted just a few days earlier but some were two weeks old. I was drawn in the first time with their pastries display. They each looked so pretty. I ordered the strawberry tart. To be honest, I thought it was going to be strawberry cheesecake. I should have asked first! Instead, it was a strawberry gelatinous cream filling. The chocolate cake base was not rich enough to stand out next to the strawberry filling. I enjoyed the look of it much more than the taste of it. I've heard that the vegan chocolate cake is really the cafe's star dessert, so I'll have to try that the next time that I'm in the neighborhood. I've never struggled to find seating, since it's ~2 blocks north of Kotti on Adalbertstr. The service can be unfriendly, which doesn't really match the look and feel of the cafe. It really depends on who is working, whether they're busy doing something else, and what language you order in. The first time that I visited, I ordered in German and the employee (possibly owner) looked really annoyed. Afterwards, I only ordered in English. The prices are typical of an upscale cafe.

    Wunderschönes Café! I also live just around the corner and love this place. In fact, I'm sitting…read morethere already the second time today. Berlin has many great cafés, with just a handful serving truly great coffee, but Kaffekirsche really has the best-tasting brews I've had so far. The espresso is excellent, but what really got me are the roasts that they HAND-FILTER for you. The flavors are fantastic--especially the Brazil. On the food--decent belegte brötchen, amazingly delicious Rhabarber Tarte. Seriously. Try it while it's in season. The staff--some of the friendliest people in the Kiez. Very knowledgable too! The atmosphere--fresh, simple, relaxed. They don't provide WiFi, which I actually like. (If you really need to work, Mundvoll is next door. Same owners, same quality of great food.) It's a place where you can really enjoy the flavors of your coffee and the company around you.
