Run by…read morea very attractive young waiter, a middle-aged extremely funny man and a few incredibly sweet young ladies, the athmosphere is always at it's best. Coffee, Tea, chocolate, chai.. basically anything a caffein addict or chocolate craver could ask for is served. With that, you get some of the best bagels in town (try the "French" on sesame). If your travels should ever take you to this (rather posh) part of Berlin, be sure to stop by here.

A lovely bakery in Dahlem…read more * * * Food tip in Germany. (It works for France too.) Pretty much every bakery you see serves some kind of lunch and some kind of breakfast. Germany has many more cooked breakfasts and lunches than France does. In France your only option might be quiches and sandwiches. In Germany, there will be a small to medium size menu of options for both meals. Bakery breakfast and lunches are nearly always good. That makes them a good choice in dubious neighborhoods where you might not be otherwise thrilled about your options. * * * Dahlem is NOT a dubious neighborhood. It is one of the most properous quarters in Berlin. Everything is pleasantly upscale. Dahlem-dorf, where Baci's, is located, has upper-middle-class food establishments. These are not unlike what you might find in Ridgewood, New Jersey or Newton, Massachusetts. You could probably eat anywhere in the village and do well. * * * We ate at Baci's and did well. My lovely wife had a perfectly nice avocado bagel and good coffee. I had an impressive sweet potato soup. The sweet potato soup made me forget what I had on the side and what I had for dessert. But I remember the dessert being good and the sweet potato soup being a real treat. * * * Baci's calls itself an American bakery. The baked goods are not all that different from what is found in other bakeries in Berlin. Globalization has taken over German bakeries the way it has taken over German restaurants and German restaurants. Everyone does French croissants. Everyone does American chocolate chip cookies. Lots of people do M & M cookies. Heavy German rye breads can be found, But they represent a small part of the offerings. What is particularly American about Baci's is the coffee house style decoration. What is for lunch is written on a blackboard. The establishment looks a lot like the Moosewood Cafe in Ithaca, New York. Dahlem-Dorf is pretty. The big windows give you a nice view of Dahlem-Dorf. And the interior decoration is pretty. You can do well here. * * * P.S. This is the last of my Berlin reviews. Next stop: Central Texas !!

One of my favorite cafés in Berlin! The interior is sleek and modern, but inviting. I feel I…read morecould easily pass an entire morning here. Coffee and teas are both very good and service is quick and a German sort of friendly ;) My one, tiny, little grumble is that one of the men who works there did not know what an everything bagel was despite it being both on the menu and in a basket directly in front of him. Not sure what he would have called it. It was an off moment and easily fixed - now I ask for sesame bagels.

LOVE this place! Really cozy interior and the patio is beautiful in the summertime. I felt so…read morecomfortable here. They have a nice selection of cakes to go with your drink. Tastefully decorated and the WiFi signal was reliable. I'll be a regular here!

Leuchtstoff is a casually hip, cozy coffee shop in the Neukolln neighborhood of Berlin featuring…read moredelicious coffees, vegan pastries, and sandwiches. Staff were friendly and helpful and the overall atmosphere of the cafe was very laid back with people reading, studying, or having quiet conversations over coffee. The aesthetic is a bit industrial meets DIY with a lot of exposed concrete, brick, and wood. I thought the plywood sitting lofts were really interesting and fun, although we didn't have a chance to climb up to check them out since they were full. We ordered a cappuccino, iced latte, and croissants with a homemade hazelnut spread. Everything was delicious. If you're in the area, this is a great little spot to grab a nice drink or a snack!

The Flat Whites here are delicious. I finally let my boyfriend try my "secret" cafe that I would…read morevisit when he was out of town. He ordered the chai latte expecting the chai powder with milk but was in for a surprise. The chai latte here is served in a carafe (steamed milk, loose leaf tea, and whole cardamom pods). I could not stop smelling the latte. I plan on alternating ordering flat whites and chai lattes here. On my first visit, I ordered the vegan banana bread, which I would not do again because it tastes more like bread pudding. I tried their carrot cake and enjoyed it a lot. It tasted home made but not "pssh I could have made this myself" homemade. They also serve brunch on Sundays. I haven't tried it yet but hope too! The staff here is always friendly and I feel comfortable sitting here for an hour or so, writing letters or reading a book.

Café eßkultur located right inside Dahlem Museums, it's not really big, but nice decorated and…read morecomfortable. After a couple hours admiring and enjoying the breathtaking Ethnologisches Museum, the Museum für Asiatische Kunst and etc., this is a great rest point to recharge yourself. Eßkultur is on the ground floor, which offers coffee, juices and some cakes. If you are hungry than better go to the restaurant downstairs. They also seats open air, which allow you sit in the middle of the museums. The price is surprisingly reasonable, service is quite friendly as well, beside English and German, I also heard some of the staff speaking French. The café itself is really close to one of the entrances of Dahlem museums. Which made it easy to find and it also close to the gifts/books shop, very convenient if you want to buy some copies of the collection here exhibited. There are also some flyers about the different programs happening at the moment and some infos about the museums here, really helpful. It's just right in front the café entrance, you won't miss it
