Searched for vegan breakfast on yelp and discovered goodies, a friendly vegan biological espresso bar. Not only my breakfast was saved but I think I found my second home. Had a great soy cappuccino (why the hell order a cow's milk when the soy tastes just as good!?) and a delightful chocolate cranberry cake (also vegan). Since it was so nice and the wi fi signal was so good, I decided that the Skype job interview I had with London, I will do there. I found myself a cosy cornered sofa, and the interview went great.

Our second visit was a full-on breakfast. My friend got the Paris, which included a croissant and some jam and cheeses and such. He seemed to enjoy it. My Istanbul was enormous and a lot of fun, from the cheese and the 5 kinds of fruit and the bread basket to the sausage pepper onion scramble, salad with balsamic vinaigrette, butter, and jam. My chai tea latte was adequate but not exceptional, as was the meat pastry we shared. The ambience is enjoyable and seems traditional for the area. I certainly look forward to returning, focusing more on the 5-star breakfast platter and 4-star blueberry tart and ambience, while probably trying a different drink or getting one elsewhere and staying away from the brownie.

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*

It wasn't so much music playing in the background as nightmarish white noise consisting of screeches, howling, and static - reminiscent of what played for years at the San Francisco hosted Tape Music Festival. At some point the music switched to hauntingly angelic opera. This place seemed as hipster and perhaps heroin chic as they come, but the uneasy listening sort of threw off my latte sipping.

The ambience included a variety of seating surfaces and several Simon & Garfunkel tracks played at the perfect volume for the rainy Saturday afternoon on which I visited. When I asked for ginger in a cup of tea the barista happily sliced from fresh pieces from a hand of ginger stored neatly beneath the counter. The crowd is busy enough to keep the business humming and lively, but not so busy that it feels crowded or uncomfortable. I can't wait to go back!
