In a word - slow service, good cakes in generous portions. Longer version (for the brave) - we arrived on a busy sunny Monday and were craving for something sweet. When we walked in all the tables were "reserved" but apparently they're not if you don't order anything from the kitchen because they couldn't handle the pressure, when we said we wanted cake we were "allowed" to sit on one of the tables. We've ordered three cakes - Apple strudel which is a huge slice of it in warm vanilla sauce. Black magic - a super concentrated chocolate cake Hazelnut caramel pie - which was buttery and had a generous layer of chocolate on top, sweet just in the right amount. Unfortunately, I sat by the bar and I saw that drinks are standing on the counter for several minutes (coffee should be served as quick as possible, everything else can wait for a while) Also, our cakes were on the counter for a while, I wanted them so bad that I almost got up and took them myself! The strudel was served in two minutes and for everything else we waited for like 15. Weird. But it was noticeable they couldn't handle the pressure and the amount of orders. Too bad, I'm sure it's nicer when it's a bit more laid back. read more

Kuchenrausch - Haselnuss Karamell - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Berlin, BE

Had a large mixed breakfast...it was horrible. The cheapest cheese and meat. No decoration on the plate except absolutely undress fruit. The service forgot to bring bread with it..i guess that can happen but after asking for it service was not friendly. The coffee was ok. Would not recommend to go there and definitely won't go there again myself read more

Fantastic breakfast, fantastic cakes / torte, nice terrace, good coffee, cosy atmosphere, nice lunchmenu, internet and perfect for a hearty dinner at night. That pretty much sums up Kuchenraush. Almost everything is organic so it can be a bit more expensive then other places.... but it's definitely worth it. The egg dishes are very good and the cakes are too die for. One of the best places in F-hain for a nice breakfast, especially when the weather is good and you can sit outside in the sun. read more

I have been here 3 times, always for coffee and cake and during weekends. The place has a classic flair: dark wood chairs and tables, crystal chandelliers, an old ofen in one corner -curious to see if they turn it on in cold days- and tromp l'oei in the walls. It reminds me of a viennese coffee house, with lots of really big newspapers nailed to these long wooden holders to read at your table. So much for atmospherepeople really come here forCAKE!!! A rare ocurrence in Berlin, where industrial bakeries have taken over, leading home made cakes and bakery products almost to the brink of extinction. KUCHENRAUSCH means something like addicted to cake in German, and you could become addicted really. When I went there my friends and I tried cakes such as choco-choco, cheese raspberry cake and a fabulous missisippi mud pie with three types of chocolate. Everything was delicious! Other types include cheese pistaccio, cheese caramel, white chocolate, apple cake, cheese meringue, carrot cake. They don't have a menu for cakes, you have to go and have a look and face the torture of having to choose. They cost betwene 2.40 and 2.80 a piece if you eat it there. The waiters were attentive -one of them introduced himself with his name, and offered water to our dog. He explained how the cakes were prepared and what kind of ingredients they contained. I almost fainted -unaccustomed to this kind of attentive service in service desert Berlin. One waiter brought the coffe, another brought the cakes. The whole thing took 15 /20 minutes, and I am still wondering why it takes so long to bring two pieces of cake to a tablebut maybe they wanted to bring the coffe together with itand all the tables were full. The coffee is also tasty, it doesn't taste bitter or too roasted, or too strong. I always take it without sugar, and there you can really perceive the difference. Our milchkaffee was also great. Not too much milk foam, and the right balance with coffee. I like the fact that all cups and plates are different, they hand made and painted ceramic cups. It has a certain feeling of having coffee in your own home. The place also has Wi-Fi, which I didn't use but it's always nice to know. Kuchenrausch is a place you can definitely become addicted to, and a great addition to the otherwise unspectacular offers for cake and coffe in Friedrichshain. read more

Went to Kuchenrausch because I woke up craving eggs benedict. But these were a little disappointing! Bland at best and pretty slimy. If you're coming here for the benny, I would look elsewhere. What this restaurant did have was a huge selection of delicious looking cakes, although I didn't try any.. read more

This was just down the block from my hotel and has a very large and inviting patio out front. I came here for breakfast and sat outside. I ordered a Milchkaffe and a small plate of cheese, coldcuts, fruit and bread. The Milchkaffe was very good as was the food! Both were a very good deal. My only issue (and why this is 4 instead of 5 stars) were the WASPS! They didn't bother me until my food arrived. One became two, became three, became TEN. They didn't sting me or really acknowledge me at all but it became really unpleasant having to constantly swat them away. I eventually ran inside and asked if I could change tables, and a server helped me move my things. It was a little bit better further from the tree/bushes, but I still ended up cramming my breakfast into my face as fast as possible just to be rid of the buzzy jerks (one almost flew in my mouth with a forkful of cheese). At least I wasn't their only target as three different tables near where I had first sat ended up moving inside or just further away (and at least I didn't shriek like one of them hahaha). I've heard most cafes have this issue and no one ever gets stung... But it still was very unpleasant. The service was excellent and the prices were right, I just could have done without the wasps. If you're just having drinks you'll be fine, but maybe sit inside of you want to eat wasp-bait. read more

I stopped in here for a beer and a snack today while walking back from a florist in Friedrichschain with a bouquet in hand. Without me even asking, the waitstaff brought me a vase of water for my flowers so they'd stay fresh. How thoughtful! I had a large beer and the Kleines Kaesefruehstuck, or small cheese breakfast. It was just what I needed to perk me up. Three different kids of cheeses, some fruit, and some hearty bread. This is a great spot, perfect for people-watching on a nice summer day. I'd definitely come back for something more substantial. read more

Went here for brunch (craving a full english fry up). The weather was a bit crap, and began raining as i arrived to the cafe (so everyone moved inside, making the cafe fill to capacity). The waitress who served me was nice enough and took my order. I asked her if I could substitute the fried eggs for an extra piece of bacon. She told me that she wasn't sure if they would do this (even after I said I was happy to pay extra for it). She said she'd ask the Chef. The English Breakfast came out about 15 minutes later, and it was what you'd expect to get anywhere else. I'm unsure if this is a German thing (To put sliced up fruit on the plate next to Baked Beans, meaning the watermelon juice seeped into the sauce of my beans)! The Coffee was nice and the beans weren't burnt. All in all, it was a good meal and have no real complaints. Would probably go back again. read more

I went here one day because they've got WiFi (W-LAN) for free (in the morning the waitress was super nice and didn't pressure me to buy anything but that changed in the afternoon when the waiter stopped at my table frequently to ask what I wanted). I ordered lunch which was a fantastic pork chop with Sauerkraut and dumplings, absolutely lovely! It's quite smokey for non-smokers here although they've got a separate area. read more

Rude staff. When we had been waiting for a long time for a waiter to come to our table, we tried to order at the bar and were met with rudeness and told to s it down again. We also waited a long time to pay. read more

Yummy Frühstück today! Excellent eggs, Müsli mit good service. Busy, so choose going time wisely.

i wouldn't recommend going to Kuchenrausch for dinner - food is average, slightly bland, and therefore overpriced - breakfast selection is just ok. but it is a good choice for coffee and cake - but beware! on weekends it is jam-packed!!! the reason it's so busy is the wide selection of delectable looking cakes. sometimes they look better than they taste - they're either too sweet/rich or too bland, but sometimes they're just right! if i could have, i would have given Kuchenrausch 3.5 stars read more

i live in the neighborhood and know how hard it is to find a good local restaurant... i really enjoy a nice cozy lunch at the Kuchenrausch. Some delicious things to try are: the english breakfast, eggs benedict, the soups, schnitzel and my personal fav, the club sandwich. i've only had dessert there once, and i know good cake when i eat it! i had a tasty and rich chocolate layer cake with white chocolate frosting and shaved white chocolate... yum!! definitely a place to check out if you want something close to "comfort food". read more

Never again! Just went there this afternoon and I regret it! Deeply! The waiters: Cafe was half empty when we ordered. They could have served our drinks first but instead let us wait for 25 minutes after which our drinks were brought together with the food. That was my mistake. I should have just walked out because that's a major red flag, but I was there with a date, goddammit, and she wanted some goddamn cake. The food: At first I was surprised that they had eggs benedict, but my surprise turned into horror at what the arrogant waiter put in front of me. This isn't eggs benedict, but maybe what some fucking farmboy in Brandenburg thought was eggs benedict! Separate pieces of normal square toast spread out on the plate with one poached egg, spinach and a giant pud of mayonnaise right on top of them! For approx. 10 Euros! The cake: The only reason I went to this piece of shit cafe was because my date wanted cake, and I googled "beste Kuchen Berlin" (best cake in Berlin) and this piece of shit cafe came up in an article. My Date ordered a piece of cake. The fucking waiter brought a different one. Only AFTER she told him it was the wrong one, he simply apologized and said he brought another because the cake we ordered 25 fucking minutes ago was already gone! Imagine the audacity on that scumbag! He could have just asked! Anyway, my date ordered another one and of course, couldn't even finish it because it tasted like GARBAGE! Why this piece of shit cafe has so many positive reviews? Because of shitty tourists like you and probably friends of the establishment or the waiters. It's located in an "in" location where a lot of "party people" and tourists hang out, so clearly neither the waiters care about how shitty their service is, nor does the cook care about how shitty the food is, because there will always be bus-loads of dumb tourists coming in each summer to pretend it was so amazing and lure poor bastards like you and me into this shitty place! Have some standards you dumb tourists! The food is shit. The service is shit. If nothing else happens, I hope my review will save others from having their afternoon almost ruined. Luckily for us the "Biermeile" (annual beer festival in Berlin) happened to be nearby and we had a good time. Please avoid "Kuchenrausch" like the plague and stop giving your hard-earned money to snobs. read more

This is a favorite of my good friend. However, it's just okay for me. Maybe I had a brunch that wasn't memorable, but I wouldn't say it was impressive either. There is no brunch, so forget the typical simon-dach / f'shainer ways here. However, the restaurant is beautiful and nicely located at the corner of Boxhangenerstr and Simon-Dach. You can take the M10, U5 or tram 21. The breakfast option is pretty vast. My husband and company took the English breakfast, although it was in essence simliar, but not quite hitting the spot. I took some other one, so it wasn't so memorable. My friend got an egg/cheesy thing that was good. The desserts were fantastic and they were on display for your imagination to run wild! I think we expected something a bit more but we just got mediocre service. I have to give them credit, they may have been a bit busy . .. Make a reservation . .. I would say it's worth a try, but check out the menu before hand to make sure it suits your fancy. read more

Interesting place for cake. Unfortunately, that's about it. Just like every other cafe, so so service, basic outdoor seating. The location is a good corner to sit outside yet this place does very little to differentiate itself from the many other cafes in the area. If you're up for cake, stop in. The selection is good. Otherwise, nothing of note here. read more

Since my first visit and my good impression an I went there another two times with different friends. Unfortunately it was nothing like my first visit. the service was once not listening to our orders and we had to repeat them twice and the other time we asked for service too pay the bill and were ignored/ forgotten twice. Besides the fact that most of the staff ran past us without noticing us the whole time and that my cake was forgotten on the counter. The cake and coffee was good just like the first time. Nothing changed there. my cheesecake piece was huge cause it was the last piece and they didn't cut it down. So there was enough for two people. read more

The apfel struedel is amazing and is a huge portion. Enjoy every bite! Eggs and coffee also delicious. I tried scrambled eggs with honey and goat cheese. Very good. read more

had a great carrot cake here with raisins. i also took a guest to breakfast and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of food for the price. never ate lunch/dinner here though i've been seated on more than one occasion and given a menu, only to be told that the kitchen wasn't serving anymore 10 minutes later. read more
