There's an array of meat/cheese sandwiches, pastries and refrigerated items. And of course, a complete coffee menu. Turkey sandwich Crunchy and flaky thick bread, the Turkey blends well with a variety of veggies and cream cheese. A very well balanced sandwich. Prosciutto bagel sandwich Fresh everything bagel, tasty prosciutto but only one slice - could have used more. Chia pudding with fruit jam and almond slivers and coconut sprinkle - only slightly sweet so for you American palates, make sure you douse it with honey at the counter before you leave. Apricot croissant - Lemon filling in the inside with real fruit decorating the ends. Overall this deli gets you what you need and is quick and good. Can't wait to try their coffees too. That's all.

Espresso House is a popular Swedish coffee chain serving up a wide range of drinks, pastries, and…read morelight lunch bites. From the outside, its large windows and inviting signage make it feel like a welcoming urban café: perfect for people-watching in one of the city's main squares (our tour guide compared it to the "Times Square" of Berlin). Once inside, the space feels modern, bright, and relaxed, with plenty of seating (two floors, actually) that ranges from cozy window nooks to communal tables ideal for chatting with friends or getting some work done. After a 4-hour walking tour of the city, we were hungry for a snack to tide us over until dinner, as well as a hot drink to warm us up from the bitter cold! At around 4pm on a Saturday, the cafe was almost completely full, yet retained a buzzy, not overwhelming, atmosphere. The line was long but moved fast, and before I knew it, I was at the front of the line, still debating which of their delectable pastries to choose. I opted for their Cardamom Bun (€3.80), which was a pillowy-soft sourdough wheat bun, with swirls of cardamom sugar throughout. It was perfectly yeasty and not-too-sweet, and I appreciated the slight crunch of the ground cardamom strewn atop the pastry. It was a great size for an afternoon pick-me-up snack, and they were more than happy to heat it up for me, despite the long line. It's a refreshing departure from the pre-packaged Starbucks pastries that I've come to get used to in the States. Yes, Espresso House costs slightly more than your average bakery-corner coffee shop, but it's still reasonable for high-quality espresso drinks and snacks in a prime location like Potsdamer Platz. For a central café with reliable beverages, tasty pastries, and cozy seating it feels like a fair trade.

I bought my tickets in September and the hours had changed by November and we showed up with no service for the lift. Although we came back the next day I wasn't totally impressed. There is a portion of the berlin wall up there that is beautiful. the maps outline the city nicely however the DB building is in the way of the best view of the city. There are iron bars that go all the way around and don't really give you a good view of the city. I thought there would be a viewing deck with glass or plexiglass wall to see the city but there was not. We stopped in for a coffee and snack before we left but after standing at the bar for a few minutes we were not served and we left. I liked that it was self guided (no limits on time or space). If you have the money it's worth the few pictures. We went back the next morning after we were turned away and there was a thick fog over the city. The coolest things to view are brandenburg gates, jewish memorial and the new jewish synagogue
