Don't worry, this isn't Mitte. This is Neukölln, so you'll definitely find a seat where you can type away in peace. And much like Berlin, Prachtwerk is whatever you want it to be. I've stopped by whenever I wanted a relaxing place to work with friends--the fact that you can buy food and alcohol makes the work go by even quicker! +1 for the city's freewheeling, entrepreneurial spirit because if my experiences are anything to go by, no one at Prachtwerk will raise an eye if you 1. order a cocktail in the early afternoon or 2. hunker down for a few hours. I found the drink prices to be relatively standard for Berlin as a whole, but they might be a little expensive for Neukölln: €7 for the Adult Lemonade (lavender lemonade with either gin or vodka) and €6.50 for a gin and tonic. Chase it down with a slice of one of their delicious cheesecakes. (I'm partial to the Oreo one.) Hint: grab a seat on one of the elevated couches that overlook the stage at the end of the venue. There are regular events that take place in the evenings so you can wrap up your daytime work and ease your way into nighttime festivities without having to find a new seat!

A good place to work and chat with friends. However the espresso we ordered was sour. A sour espresso is a classic sign that the beans are either too coarse or over-extracted. It was almost undrinkable. The beans really should have been thrown out.

Enjoy the hustle as staff prepare waffles in the front or retreat to the back rooms where somewhat comfortable furniture and attractive lighting make for a more cozy ambiance. Tried the apple strudel waffle which was good but lacking in apple. The vanilla ice cream went well with the waffle but wasn't great in itself. I enjoyed the Mmaah whole fruit tea (with lemon slices), which stems from a collaboration with the nearby Mmaah restaurants. The owner/architect is friendly and welcoming. Would definitely return to try other waffles creations.

The cappuccino was perfect, and you could tell the barista knew what he was doing. The carrot cake was well-textured and easy to chew like a soft sponge.

Here in Alt-Treptow, we've got Passenger Coffee, which is, yes, related to Passenger Espresso, but also somehow its own thing. This location is where the magic happens (aka where they roast the beans), but you can also get coffee and baked goods here. Because the shop is a bit off the beaten path, it doesn't get as much foot traffic as the other one, which is nice for when you want a quieter coffee date or some time to get some work done in a peaceful setting. But if you're a fan of the Wrangelkiez shop, you'll find this spot feels very familiar.

So much so that they chose the venue for a privately catered family function. The dining room is very cozy, with all wood floors and walls, and the cuisine is rustic Berlin home cooking. During our brunch, we enjoyed a buffet table of roast pork with pineapple sauerkraut, steamed potatoes, potato dumplings and a chopped salad with fresh dill. As cold appetizers, we had smoked salmon, local smoked river fish, fruit, cheeses, caviar deviled eggs and the most amazing, steaming whole grain bread rolls. Desserts were good but not great. The crowd favorites were an apple cake with a solid crust on top and chocolate mousse. The lemon mousse and cheese cake were good but had a slightly artificial lemon flavor. Coffee is strong and hot. P.S. Mom says they make the best French fries in town.

The setting is decidedly Instagrammable with neon signs, reclaimed wood furniture, and wildflower centerpieces. Service is always quick and very kind. Best of all, though, is the free and unlimited Wifi that makes this cafe a great place to sit and get some work done, especially with other like-minded students from HTW just up the river. If you're not trying to concentrate on your laptop, the Kranhaus is also a great spot to relax with a snack and their chilled out/classy-feeling Jazz playlist. Best of all, it's located in the base of a crane that used to unload cargo for the factories along Wilhelminenhofstraße, so you get an interesting mix of history in the space. The downsides are that the furniture is a bit eclectic and can sometimes be uncomfortable, especially to sit at with a laptop, and sometimes it is difficult to locate a outlet to charge up. That being said, it's often easy to find a place to sit and let the afternoon go by. Thank you Kranhaus for helping me maintain my sanity.
