A busy cafe across the way from the Berlin Marriott. This is a great option if on the move because…read moreeven though there's a lot of hustle and bustle here, the line moves quickly and they serve quite fast. There's an array of meat/cheese sandwiches, pastries and refrigerated items. And of course, a complete coffee menu. Turkey sandwich Crunchy and flaky thick bread, the Turkey blends well with a variety of veggies and cream cheese. A very well balanced sandwich. Prosciutto bagel sandwich Fresh everything bagel, tasty prosciutto but only one slice - could have used more. Chia pudding with fruit jam and almond slivers and coconut sprinkle - only slightly sweet so for you American palates, make sure you douse it with honey at the counter before you leave. Apricot croissant - Lemon filling in the inside with real fruit decorating the ends. Overall this deli gets you what you need and is quick and good. Can't wait to try their coffees too. That's all.

My friend and I were exhausted after having walked from the ZOB station that morning, so we looked…read morefor the closest cafe we could find. PROS: Steinecke looked pleasant from the outside and indeed was. We got the comfortable table at the back with an outlet to recharge our phones. We were also thankful that it was open early, unlike MANY nearby businesses. The coffee and pastries we ordered were good overall as well, even though it would have been nicer warmed up. CONS: The biggest bummer is that this establishment is cash only, and on top of that, there is no clearly visible sign which informs customers of that. Fortunately I had some cash, but I don't care for bad surprises like that. Secondly, they didn't have proper change! How can you expect customers to pay cash and then NOT have change? I was shorted 6 euro cents as a result because that was apparently all they had. It's also a bummer they have no wifi... every proper cafe has free wifi, especially so close to main train stations. Please fix the cons, and I'll fix my review! Thank you.

This is a decent bakery nearby our hotel. We just needed somewhere to go for breakfast. The coffee…read moreis pretty decent, but the pastries are nothing to write home about. Stop by if you need caffeine, but the pastries won't impress

GREAT bakery and coffee shop…read more Here are my reasons for the statements above. 1. Huge coffee drinks selection and by huge - I mean huge! But also kids will find their jam here - freshly squeezed orange juice for example, which is always a good call for adults too. They also have yummy hot chocolate drinks and plenty of teas to choose from. 2. Their pastry selection is huge as well and I have tried like six different types of pastries so far and all of them were super tasty. Cannot wait to come back again today to try some more. 3. The place is very spacious and provides a great ambiance for meeting up with a friend for breakfast or snack and it's a fantastic little spot to catch up on some work/school stuff. 4. The food menu is not limited only to bakery products, there are also warm and salty dishes to choose from such as pasta and salads. Vegetarians friendly! Lactose free folks friendly! The only thing I would say could improve a bit is he customer service but that's perhaps because my German is very weak (close to none) and I know that Berliners sometimes get irritated by all the English speakers around... but what can one do? I don't think I would get further with my native language - Czech. In any case, I would recommend this place, because even if you don't speak German, you can just point at things like me. After all, it's mainly about the great food and drink selection, isn't it?!

I can't honestly say that I searched for variety - when I know that I like something, why stray? Cinnamon rolls - not the cloying type that you get covered in a sugar glaze - these had a fair bit of sugar, but it was neatly tucked into the rolls of the cinnamon. There was a focaccia type bread served with juicy mini tomatoes, rosemary and ethereal goodness (no extra charge). Most people knew what they wanted on the efficiently run lines, but those who did not received painstaking explanations. I liked it and still think about each of the items I tried (and those I missed)

Part of an upscale neighborhood, table hockey on the outdoor patio allowing guests an opportunity to pass the time, standing space inside Die Brodstatte is limited to a few square meters while the space's bulk consists mainly of kitchen, racks and shelves. Fair priced for items made of local Organic Grains, Weizen-Korner Stuck adding Cornmeal to aromatic Wheat for a more sophisticated crumb, Viennoiseries come in a wide range with expert lamination filled with melted Chocolate versus topped with Cheese or Sage. Taking an alternative approach to Scandinavia's famous Cardamom Knot, layered bits glued together with Sugar and Butter like Monkey Bread, The Bread Station's Cinnamon Roll also earns high marks for its crisp coil that softens towards the center with subtle notes of Yeast tickling the palate in each bite.

Too bad that they don't have a few more tables. It's a few blocks from Gendarmenmarkt, so you could get stuff to go. It's a nice change of pace for lunch or picnic supplies in Berlin.
