Shitty service- LITERALLY. A giant parrot took a shit on my back and no one even apologized!!…read more I've walked past this place a bunch of times and always wanted to go inside. A beautiful florist on one side, a sweet cafe filled with plants on the other- it seemed a cool idea. Today I wandered in with a friend to look at cactus, planning to grab a coffee and some cake after our plant shopping. Walking into the back we were a bit startled but also delighted to see two very large parrots, walking ropes suspended above us, eating crackers and cackling loudly. Thinking it just added to the interesting atmosphere we continued to shop. A few mins later my friend said "oh no, we need to go to the bathroom!" The giant parrot had shat on my jacket and my scarf. I took off my coat and my scarf to find that there was large amounts of shit in multiple places. I went to the shop owner and she scolded the bird lightly, "oh Charlie" she said, and that was it. Taking a light sponge to my coat she rubbed some water on it, still leaving white streaks. I asked her for the sponge and spent about 5 mins trying to get everything off. Once I finally finished cleaning my coat (it was wet now and we were about to go outside) we turned to leave and the woman didn't even say good bye. No apology. No offer of flowers or coffee or anything to make me feel comfortable or invited to return. As soon as I got onto the street, I realized that my purse was also covered in parrot shit so I went back inside. Still no apology, I scrubbed some more and was only offered a towel to dry my now wet bag, jacket and scarf. I'll need to dry clean everything and I won't feel comfortable going back to this store because zero responsibility was taken for what happened. Birds will be birds, but not EVEN apologizing for literal shit all over a customer was some of the worst customer service I've EVER had in Berlin (and that's really saying something!)

The coffee was great and if we had not just come from lunch we would have tried the food. What annoyed the crapola out of me were the two massive parrots that would not stop screaming every 30 seconds. My wife had to go to the bathroom and almost had one of them land on her head. She is not much of a bird lover and it almost gave her a heart attack! The coffee was great and I am sure the food is also, but man, those parrots just rubbed us the wrong way unfortunately.

My dining companion and I both ordered vegetarian breakfast samplers (nice that there were multiple options) and everything was terrific. The food was fresh and light but very flavorful.

This place has a chill vibe and good food. I ordered their "birria," which was not like traditional…read moreMexican-style birria, but it was very tasty.For example, it wasn't served in a tortilla, but on an open-faced sandwich, and topped with crispy onions, which added a nice texture. It did come with a dipping sauce, but didn't taste like the traditional consommé.... it was more of a marinated flavor. Since it was served as an open-faced sandwich, I couldn't dip it in the sauce, but drizzled it over the top. If you're not a birria "purist," you can enjoy this sandwich for what it is: it's flavorful pulled meat, served creatively. While I was eating, the cafe filled up completely, so it's obviously a popular hangout. Some of the other menu items looked good, too. A nice place on a quiet side street in Prenzlauer Berg.

Brunch hangs with my bro in Berlin :)…read more It just so happened that my globe trotting brother and his gf were passing through Berlin when we were there. If that's not fate, then I don't know what is. Cafe Butter was highly recommended by my local friends. It's got quite a large space with classic wood interiors and a big door that spills open into their very spacious outdoor seating. Brunching here in the summer is the best with a mimosa in hand and big umbrellas over your head. Sit inside if you want faster service. Their brunch offerings vary from big portions of classic German baskets + bread baskets to just a croissant and coffee. On Sundays, they have a brunch buffet for €10. The coffee is pricey, about €3 for a large cup. I opted for a large chai latte (same price) and loved the foamy top! It took about 25 minutes before our brunch came out. Considering the place was only semi-full and we sat inside where the servers have a direct view of us, this is typical Berlin service. I've learned to slow down and really enjoy my food instead of constantly wanting to be in and out of a place in under an hour like a typical American. The food is worth the wait! My brother had a typical German breakfast of sliced meats and cheeses along with a big bread basket, his gf had a mushroom omelette and I tried the Scandinavian breakfast. The shrimp in my omelette reminded me of frozen shrimp but all the other side dishes like herring paste, anchovy, etc were so delicious! If you're squeamish about anchovy, do not get this breakfast entree. The portions are large and a bit pricey for Berlin overall, but you are in Prenzlau and that's to be expected. Take the U bahn to Eberwalderstrasse/Pappelallee and walk two blocks to get to Cafe Butter. Make sure to allot at least 1.5 hours to enjoy your brunch, it's mandatory mental health restoration time.

Beautiful, trendy location with indoor/outdoor seating. Staff is friendly and multilingual. Coffee is very good quality but on the smaller side. Fresh bread made on premises. Definitely recommend it!

I did have the feeling that if we hadn't been a large group, impeccably dressed (had just come from a formal affair) that our experience might have been different. Service was professional and only lightly obsequious (sat us at a table that had a reserved sign on it) but could see that if we'd come in a bit grubbier they might have been a bit less attentive.

With Oxford, Andorra and Spanish breakfasts among others on the menu you have a fair choice and all are nice, well cooked and well presented. I have eaten there on many occasions and I have not been disappointed with the food or the coffee. If you drink tea, as I do, you will be shocked at the way they serve tea here, they obviously have no idea. On two occasions I have been served a glass of water with hot milk in it with a tea-bag on a plate, when I explained how to serve the tea properly the waitress seemed unhappy that I mentioned it and did not offer a replacement. I have had at least 3 waitresses serving me there. One was very nice indeed, helpful and friendly, one was very unfriendly and the other only smiled when she got a tip. I like friendly and helpful service and always give a tip (even when they don't write a large hint on the receipt) I would have given 4 points if it wasn't for the sour service on the last two occasions.

There is usually a line right when it starts at 11am, you grab a plate and bowl and then you're free to go up to the vegan/vegetarian buffet as many times as you'd like from 11am to 3pm. It is crowded and finding a table is difficult, which is why it is recommended to go right at 11 or maybe once the initial crowd heads out around 1 or 2. Lots of dips and bean pastes, marinated tofu, tofu scramble, vegan chocolate mousses, breads and (non vegan) cheeses, fruits, yogurts, etc. Really cute area as well!
