P.S., I have never left a Yelp review and am a total foodie. This place warrants my review.

It was really tasty, nice balance of ingredients and just the right amount of burnt edge. Liked the bread basket, but the filter coffee was super strong. Would come again if in the neighborhood.

A friend of mine referred me to this place for their desserts and overall atmosphere, though I…read moredecided to go there for breakfast instead. I'm sure their desserts are great, but I was rather disappointed by the breakfast. I had the big omelette (last egg dish on the menu). To be fully honest, the plating and overall result of the omelette was closer to something that would have been slapped together at home. I've had many omelette before at restaurants, but found this not only lacking in taste, but also in presentation. All of the different food items on the plate were "bleeding" into one another because of the water running through the eggs. Pickles in an omelette don't really mix well. Though I had no idea I would be getting pickles. This wasn't stated on the English menu. If you love pickles, then no worries, but I'm not a fan -- especially in eggs. Aside from that, a service charge of 19% was added to my bill without prior knowledge. This was not stated anywhere on the menu that I saw, nor did the waitress make that known. The service was friendly and hospitable though. The only redeeming factors were the delicious chai tea, which I really loved, and the atmosphere of the place was was pleasant and jovial. They also have great WiFi download speeds but know that upload speeds are slow. Be warned, if you're allergic to the sounds of babies crying, you also might want to look elsewhere!

Not the Germknödeln of old, though a Dessert Bun named "Netti" puts Spiced Plum and Austrian Poppyseeds front and center in Brown Butter, häppies offerings are all Vegetarian and served with Salad with one enough for a snack and two plenty for most as a meal. Prone to weekend sell-outs of top items, though pre-orders and take-out are available, it is amidst clean white surroundings that diners huddle over Coffee or Housemade Lemonade while digging into flavors like "Mathias" Soy, Figs and Chilies or the Lentil-loaded "Krische" served with Chutney, Yogurt and Papadam. €7,00 to €8,50 apiece, not "cheap" but quite affordable considering portions and products involved, youngsters are invited to indulge in Pizza-riffing Julia that can be upgraded by Pesto while everyone would be wise to order one of owner Uli Marschner's "Dani" that dazzles like Strawberry Shortcake infused with Peppercorns and a hint of acidity from aged Balsamic.

Probably one of the best places to eat in all Berlin. Not only is the food outstanding with very…read morecreative recipes --- but the service/staff is by far one of the warmest/sincere I have experienced. Just as the name states --- you leave being truly happy! While enjoying our dumpling, the owner came out and visited with us. It was so interesting to learn how she came up with her creative inspiration. In fact, one of the dessert recipes (Emil) was created while on a recent trip to Los Angeles. With peanut sauce on top, cherry filled inside and a sprinkle of coconut--- it was a perfect ending to our meal. Tip; go with a group, order several dumplings and share.

In the middle of a shady street right off the main shopping street here. We both had scrambled eggs with bacon set on a delicious potato pancake. So, with one bite you get the whole dish! So good! Bread on the side with a wonderful dark German coffee. Service was great and friendly. So easy to see why it's busy here. Now, I'm counting the hours until it's time for a cold Rosè in the garden!!! Loved it!

Viel zu gut bewertetes Cafe aber in sehr schöner lage, direkt am Gendarmenmarkt. Hatte dort…read moreFrühstücken wollen, was sich zu meiner Überraschung sehr schwierig gestaltete, da alles, aber auch wirklich alles, was ich bestellen wollte aus war, und die Bedienung sich alles einzeln aus der Nase ziehen ließ... Ich wollte das eine "oh das ist aus", ich wollte das andere "oh das ist auch aus", dann das dritte "ich frage mal in der Küche....nein das ist auch aus". Entschied mich dann für gebeizten lachs auf Schwarzbrot, was garnicht so schlecht war, bis auf das viel zu stark geröstete Brot, das bei jedem schnitt über den kompletten Tisch explodierte... Als ich dann beim verlassen des Cafés den Lieferanten mit "frischem" Nachschub für die Küche sah, war ich ja fast schon froh das ich nur den Lachs auf Brot bekam, da ich denke dass zumindest das Anrichten des Ganzen noch irgendwie etwas mit kochen zu tun hat. Die Lieferung beinhaltete mehrere Kisten mit transparenten Kunststoffschachteln wie bei Lidl, mit gefüllten Teigtaschen, fertig panierten Cordon Bleu oder Schnitzel oder ähnlichem, bereits fertig gebundenem Grünzeug für Salat oder zur Teller dekoration... Ganz großes Kino bei solchen Preisen!

It was busy and the place was short staffed, so after seating me the owner kind of forgot about me. Was super apologetic, but I couldn't blame him it was bustling and I think he only had two other people there, one being the cook. The food was tasty. I had the bacon eggs Benedict and a crepe with Nutella and a mocha. All were good. The food came out promptly, and the service was good given the circumstances. I also liked the ambiance of the place. Feeling of a cozy coffee shop but set up for meals.

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.
