Five years I lived next door to Die kleine Konditorei. I could have had these great rolls every…read moreday. Every morning and every evening. I could have had But I didn't have them every day. Not even weekly. The rolls are okay, but in my opinion it's not the manifestation of rolls worldwide there. Standing in line can be fun, I don't have to tell you. But standing in line over the street for rolls ? Only if you need buying rolls as your first event on a sunny sunday morning. So, dear English-Qype-Community, toast is all right and breakfast without rolls is all right too, even in Germany. But if you are homesick and you want to stand in queue you are welcome!

I went here for take-away coffee a few times when I was looking for an apartment in the area. I…read moreliked that they have outdoor seating so I could sit outside in the sun between apartment visitings in order to drink coffee and read comic books. Coffee was just okay, though, but service was rather exceptionally cheery. Never got an apartment in the area, but if I would have, I'd hop in here from time to time.

Genau deswegen nehmen wir uns viel Zeit, den 3-Stufen-Sauerteig aus selbst gemahlenem Getreide zu führen und nehmen auch den aufwendigen Backvorgang im Holzofen in Kauf. Und das schmeckt man !

Try the "Maple-Walnut Schnecke" with a bit of luck you will get a warm one from the oven. Unbelievable! Its a sin. Too delightful.

We were looking for a breakfast place, and found it in this cafe. They had the perfect drinks and…read moreperfectly sized sandwiches we were looking for, freshly made as well, as we chose the kind of bread we wanted. Their coffee and espressos and drink offerings were all excellent. If I could fault them for one thing, make that two, is that, one, they don't have any free Wi-Fi. And secondly, the tables are never cleaned, or wiped down. In the 2 hours we hung there drinking oodles of cups and varieties of coffees, not once did they come around to wipe down the tables after customers had left. Nor did they sweep around the floor despite us being the only customers and the place unoccupied. We had heard the manager or owner(?)pass explicit instructions to the servers to wipe down the tables, but he went unheeded. When I went to visit the toilet, it was the same. Un-wiped and I cleaned, like nobody had bothered to wipe down the place or take a broom to it for the last 3 days or so. Such a pity, as I said, it was a great place to hang, we'll decorated and they had everything that was needed to make this a great cafe otherwise! Also very reasonable prices, given we pay close to five dollars for our lattes in the US.

You can also get warm drinks like cappuccino, latte, chai, and so on. Staff is nice and there is a spacious area to sit at (it's more like a cafe). It has a nice environment especially on those rainy and cold days. They have a small area with toys so kids can play. I like bringing my 16 month old daughter so she can play even though it's raining.
