We enjoyed the scrambled eggs, the salads and also the delicious and rich pancakes. Highly recommend checking this place out when you're in Berlin.

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.

I love you, Coffee Cross. I finished my entire dissertation writing here while remaining properly…read morecaffeinated and fed. Best coffee and best carrot cake in Dahlem. When sick, or in the afternoon on a cold day, get a fantastic hot ginger tea (order the special "Coffee Cross" Ingwertee) that comes with a spruce of mint and a squeeze of orange juice in the bottom. At lunch, there's a hot homemade oven-baked meal: vegetarian and non-veg options, just 4,50 euros and always tasty, like eating my mom's home-cooked food. The atmosphere is ideal. It's quiet and warm inside, feels like someone's living room. Outside, there's a great sunny terrace. And finally, all the staff are polite and provide great service. The main manager who greeted me many days when I was writing or working is a lovely, caring, and friendly person. We always exchange pleasantries and she always asks about my daughter.

This café is one of the best cafés I've been to. Their menu is in German but google translate…read moredefinitely helps when trying to decide what to order and the staff is friendly and kind. Even though my friend and I didn't know any German the staff helped explain the different menu items and even gave great suggestions on deserts. I had a delicious variety of fresh fruits, sliced meats, cheeses, bread, and the pairing of mozzarella, tomato, and basil. I've never eaten a more satisfying breakfast in my life! My friend got the vegan platter which was also super yummy (even though I'm not a vegan I enjoyed the platter as well). Both dishes were fresh and flavorful and the desert was to die for! I got a lemon cake that was just the right amount of tart and sweet. My friend got the chocolate cake and she says that's the best cake she's ever eaten and she's super critical of her chocolate cakes so I trust her. The atmosphere was so homey and cozy we literally talked for 3 hours and had no idea that much time had passed. The prices are great for the quantity and quality of food you buy. I highly recommend to anyone in the area and we will be stopping by here again!

Not the most obvious coffee shop a bit hidden in a side street but totally worth a visit. I came…read moreacross the coffee shop while walking pass by it to meet a friend. I decided to check it out and the cheesecake already said hello to me from far away. I got one piece to go and it was the best decision I made that day. The cake was moist, creamy and on point full of flavor. The cheesecake is a must try!! So I thought if the cheesecake was so delicious maybe the other stuff will be good as well. I decided to go back another time and check out their food menu. I chose the pho soup. It was super delicious and the beef was just a dream. Really happy to found a place with good pho. The coffee was awesome as well. Overall I had a pleasant experience there and the waitresses are super kind, patient and funny! Will be back for sure for some more pho and cheesecake :)

THE brunch place.

We sat outside but inside looked really nice as well. I can highly recommend the loislane special with bacon, it was delicious, I only wish I got a second egg with it! I'll definitely be returning and can only recommend you to go and try it out! It's off the weird Main Street of neuköln, and thought at first, where the hell is a cool brunch place off of that street? No way! But it's just down a small side street tucked away where I've driven passed it for months and had no idea it was there until today. Glad I checked Yelp or I probably would have never gone! Enjoy your brunch!!

The place is cozy and comfy, and the regulars hanging out there were very friendly and offered us some suggestions for things to do in the area - the Templehof nearby would be a great place to take your coffee to go, if that's what you're looking for! The barista was very kind and helpful and spoke excellent English. I would absolutely go again if I were ever in the area.
