Cute cafe with French accoutrements. Popped in for a coffee, but wish I had brought an appetite!…read moreThe beautiful French tarts looked mouthwatering, as did the extensive baguette sandwich menu. Note: the place gets packed tight at brunch on weekends. Better for a group of 2, not a big group.

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.

Met a friend to grab coffee and some brunch and it was the cutest place! Service was a little slow…read morebut there were only two women working and it was pretty busy when we got there. The food was picturesque and the OJ was on point. I got the "Englishman in New York" which was an egg in a hole, some beans, a little fruit spread and two pieces of bacon. It was super tasty and came with toast and a scone on the side. The scone was even warm when it got to the table which was a pleasant surprise. I am excited to go back and try something else. I really recommend it for meeting a friend but not for a group larger than 3 or max 4.

Shitty service- LITERALLY. A giant parrot took a shit on my back and no one even apologized!!…read more I've walked past this place a bunch of times and always wanted to go inside. A beautiful florist on one side, a sweet cafe filled with plants on the other- it seemed a cool idea. Today I wandered in with a friend to look at cactus, planning to grab a coffee and some cake after our plant shopping. Walking into the back we were a bit startled but also delighted to see two very large parrots, walking ropes suspended above us, eating crackers and cackling loudly. Thinking it just added to the interesting atmosphere we continued to shop. A few mins later my friend said "oh no, we need to go to the bathroom!" The giant parrot had shat on my jacket and my scarf. I took off my coat and my scarf to find that there was large amounts of shit in multiple places. I went to the shop owner and she scolded the bird lightly, "oh Charlie" she said, and that was it. Taking a light sponge to my coat she rubbed some water on it, still leaving white streaks. I asked her for the sponge and spent about 5 mins trying to get everything off. Once I finally finished cleaning my coat (it was wet now and we were about to go outside) we turned to leave and the woman didn't even say good bye. No apology. No offer of flowers or coffee or anything to make me feel comfortable or invited to return. As soon as I got onto the street, I realized that my purse was also covered in parrot shit so I went back inside. Still no apology, I scrubbed some more and was only offered a towel to dry my now wet bag, jacket and scarf. I'll need to dry clean everything and I won't feel comfortable going back to this store because zero responsibility was taken for what happened. Birds will be birds, but not EVEN apologizing for literal shit all over a customer was some of the worst customer service I've EVER had in Berlin (and that's really saying something!)

The coffee was great and if we had not just come from lunch we would have tried the food. What annoyed the crapola out of me were the two massive parrots that would not stop screaming every 30 seconds. My wife had to go to the bathroom and almost had one of them land on her head. She is not much of a bird lover and it almost gave her a heart attack! The coffee was great and I am sure the food is also, but man, those parrots just rubbed us the wrong way unfortunately.

I adored this cozy cafe for breakfast and was tempted to return for another meal on the same day…read more Even though there were other glorious items on the menu, I ordered a fruit salad. An enormous platter of cut fruit arrived. It was drizzled with some honey. I also tried a croissant. My dining companion ordered some sort of open-faced egg sandwich drizzled with balsamic vinegar. It was divine.

My friends and I were blown away by this cafe. The menu is small menu, but what this place served…read morewas fresh, tasty and value for money. The waiter was humorous, multi-lingual and attentive. The service was fast and spot on. We were there on a winter afternoon and because it was cold, sat inside. There are 6-7 tables inside, and not much room to move around. It has an intimate feel, with colourful decor. To start, I had a delicious green-bean and pork soup - clean fresh flavours. The main was a salad, with caramelised goats cheese. It was incredible! Mixed leaves, nuts, blueberries, strawberries and grapes covered in a sweet vinaigrette dressing - and the most delicious cheese. I also tried my friend's chicken pasta main. It was scrummy! I couldn't fault the meal, the service or the ambience. 5 stars!
