A lovely little gem just down the road from the beautiful Spreebrücke Bellevue. It's a quiet, mostly residential area so you might not expect to find this lovely resting spot. It's mostly geared for lunch so not a pure cafe, but the drinks menu offers all of the lattes and teas you'd expect from a cafe, with the welcome inclusion of a home-made ice tea selection that is sitting invitingly in jugs behind the counter with bits of fruit, mint and other bits and bobs floating inside. The interior is warm and bright with the music lending an upbeat vibe.
The first striking detail is the table layout where there are a handful of large high tables rather than several smaller tables. So when the place is busy you could end up sitting shoulder to shoulder with a stranger, but it's an arrangement that's very flexible and makes a lot of sense in making use of the relatively small interior. When it's quiet you can really spread out on the large tables, and when it's busy you have just enough room to eat and go. The outdoor patio is also quite lovely, nestled between two tall trees and surrounded by pot plants, it would make for a fantastic social spot in the Summer. In other months though the amount of shade given by the trees makes the space quite chilly.
Another outstanding feature is the value for money on offer. At the time of writing, dishes don't exceed 9€ and drinks such as the ice tea can be had for a little over 2€. Being able to have a filling meal with a drink for 11€ in Berlin is absolutely something worth shouting about. Couple this with the inviting decorations and convenient location, there's really not much to complain about here.
