Cozy cafe that's great for breakfast! I ordered a cappuccino and shakshuka brioche. The cappuccino…read morehad a weaker espresso flavor than I preferred (maybe a lighter roast?). The sandwich was definitely the highlight. I love shakshuka but it's a bit heavy for breakfast. Having it in a smaller, sandwich form solves that problem! I felt like I still got the "shakshuka essence", plus the bread was amazing--so buttery and soft.

Coffee: milk is perfect, temperature very good, sizes correct, roast dark and malty, brewing temperature good. Round taste, dark, but in depth not very very complex. Nice waiters, serve pastry and snacks. Self roasted coffee as far as I understand. Prices reasonable 3€ / cappuccino. Well done!

Summary: If you want a breakfast in berlin thats gonna make you say WOW... this is the place!…read more I can say I have probably had the best bagel of my whole life!! And thats saying a lot considering I grew up on New York Bagels. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, the presentation is just gorgeous, and it was absolutely delicious. The cream cheese has a hint of lemon oil in it that just brings the entire dish together. The space itself is super cozy and cute, i sat on a high top chair by the window and enjoyed watching passersby's eyes open wide at the amazing food The menu is very limited but it all looked amazing, other peoples dishes at tables beside me looked large and beautiful as well so I have no doubt everything here is a hit! This is one of my last meals in berlin but I wish I could come here every morning!!! Service was fast and friendly as well :-) 10/10 homerun cafe

Since moving to Berlin from San Francisco, I've noticed a clear distinction in the brunch culture…read moreof both cities. Would you like a crowded café with an Instagram aesthetic (ranging from the food to the decor) and a fast-paced meal or something more Berlin -- a lowkey living room-esque vibe with meat and cheese galore? Thankfully, bRICK manages to bridge these two identities for a peaceful weekend brunch that'll make you feel like you're right at home. I stopped by on a recent Saturday morning to find it half empty, more or less. The customer service was a little brusque (not surprising) though not overtly so as its hipster decor might allude to. I had the "Brickfast" -- the most Californian option on the menu (with Berlin prices). It included two fried eggs, grilled cheese (as in, thin blocks), avocado, hummus, homemade tomato cream cheese (!), olives, bread, and a small salad. The tomato cream cheese was definitely a nice touch, though I was a little disappointed that the tomato taste was just a bit too subtle for me to actually discern. And the eggs left me wanting more... more water, actually, because they were way too salty! But points for effort because there was so much food, I guess?

This after we were ignored at another restaurant as well.

Also the name has changed to the "Coffee Lab Kaiserhöfe". They offer small selection of pies, but of high quality.

There were boards nailed to…read morethe walls in ways that weren't all flush, the furniture while vintage cool were a little unstable, and the art could be a little bare and creepy. 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!
