Nice, up-scalish bar (not sure they serve food) on Gubener Strasse in Friedrichshain. Free…read morewireless, a few tables outside, across from a park/playground. Still close to the buzz of Simon-Dach Strasse, but more relaxed, and with less traffic noise. Ask the staff for the wireless password.

I was surprised to discover this place, something that happened when a friend suggested we meet…read morehere for our regular study date. I showed up not expecting much, to be honest. However inside it was cozy, although perhaps not all the seating is the most comfortable. There is a menu with drinks, desserts, and meals as well. Surprisingly, many of the dishes were vegetarian and even vegan, and all of them were labeled appropriately on the menu. Unfortunately the cakes themselves didn't seem to be vegan, so I settled for a hot drink instead. What makes this cafe a step above any other cafe, however, is the bookstore. In a room upstairs and a few downstairs, as well as on the patio area, are thousands of used books. Each one costs only €1. So you can browse while you sip your drink, or pick up a little something to enjoy while sitting in the cafe. Or you can just get a few books to go. Any way you slice it, the idea is pretty great. I ended up buying 7 books... My only real complaint is that they have WiFi but it's not set up properly to work with Macs... at least I am assuming that is the case, as my friend got it to work on her computer, and others with PCs also were using it, but it was not compatible with my computer (which, by the way, worked fine an hour later using wireless elsewhere). So needless to say, I didn't get much accomplished in the way of work. Still, I would recommend book lovers check Cafe Tasso out.

I've been living right in front of this place since the past 2.5 years, and never had the chance to…read moretry it for some reason. This week I decided to visit for the first time, since I was really hungry&lazy and was looking for a place nearby. And i'm so happy I did. The food is amazingly good (I went there 3 days in a row and every day ordered a different dish, each one was better than the last one), the prices are fair, and the staff is super friendly. I will definitely come back again.

The works sit on their butts taking up prime tables for customers. They are rude and the place is…read moremostly empty when I come especially on weekends. The food is extremely greasy and makes me sick to my stomach, so I stopped eating it; I just got coffee. Now the service has gotten so bad I don't want to come back. If you are looking for polite friendly service, this is not the place for you. The black girl that works is very nice, everyone else is not. The old lady always gives me very dirty looks every time I come in and they never smile. Berlin is a Servicewürste but this place is worse. Beware, don't come here! There is another place close to S Julius Leberbrucke which is must more friendly owned by Italians.

A super cute place run by a couple of Turkish gals who love what they do…read more It's kind of a Euro-Turkish cafe of sorts with very well-baked and creative pastries, cakes, muffins, etc., hot breakfast with a Turkish twist and coffee and tea. It's cozy and eclectic and funky. I had scrambled eggs with sucuk (Turkish sausage), which came with tomatoes, olives, feta cheese and bread. A friend had an amazing fruit plate, with bread, butter, jelly, tomatoes, feta cheese and a hard boiled egg. They also have incredible fresh made juices. But... They were slower than molasses!! Jesus! I think it took 20 minutes for the coffee and another 15 minutes for the breakfast. So if you have all the time in the world, it's a very cute cafe!

Let's start with the coffee because that's the most important thing of all. The coffee was the…read morefirst I tasted in berlin that was not burnt. It was so smooth and delicious and the portion was quite large. we ordered 2 breakfasts, cheese plate and another one with piece of quiche, egg, and some others. It was very nice, very French. It met the needs. We had a "mini" with chocolate and it was delicious. The pastries and desserts look amazing but too bad we can't have them all . And finally the decor is adorable! Different types of tables and chairs, with a mini gazebo in the back room, also dressers as counter tables. So cozy!

Great spot in Friedrichshain for breakfast, with quirky decor and a distinctly French vibe…read more There are just a few breakfast "plate" options, and I opted for one featuring ham, lentil salad, a hard boiled egg and a small slice of quiche (€6). Everything was delicious in terms of flavour but fell short on serving temperature: everything on the plate had clearly been taken straight out of the fridge and so was pretty cold (even the hard boiled egg). This made me wonder if the entire plate is pre-prepared and then just stuck in the fridge. This didn't stop me devouring everything though! A friend had the cheese platter which consisted of 3 hunks of good cheese - hard to get wrong! Final verdict? Good coffee, decent food, cakes and pastries looked great but a few tweaks to fix things like slow service and icy food and this would be 5*
