Berlin’s first coffeehouse, the Café Royal, opened on 10 August 1722 in the Lustgarten on the orders of Friedrich Wilhelm I, and its customers were mostly garrison officers.1 In 1825 Johann Georg Kranzler, a journeyman confectioner from Vienna, opened a Konditorei (pastry café) at the corner of Unter den Linden and Friedrichstraße.1 The habit those rooms served lives on as Kaffee und Kuchen, coffee and cake in the afternoon between lunch and dinner; with Sunday coffee, Germans often serve cake or Torte.2
Bonanza opened in Prenzlauer Berg in 2006, as one of the few shops in the area then serving light-roast specialty coffee.3 By then Barcomi’s had been selling its own roasted blend with homemade cakes on Bergmannstraße in Kreuzberg since 1994.4 Five Elephant, on Reichenberger Straße, is run by an Austro-American couple: she bakes the cakes, he roasts the beans.5
Turkish families who came to West Berlin from the 1960s settled mostly in Kreuzberg, Neukölln and Wedding and opened groceries and restaurants there.6 On Sonnenallee in Neukölln, known as Arab Street, Lebanese and Syrian shops sell baklava.7 In the east, Café Sibylle on Karl-Marx-Allee opened as a milk bar in 1953 and took its name in the 1960s from an East German women’s magazine.8

Before you sit down
How coffee works in Berlin
Ask for Leitungswasser if you want tap water; plain “water” brings bottled mineral water. Cafés shouldn’t charge for tap water, but they expect you to order something else as well.9 Weekend brunch is a fixture, usually an all-you-can-eat buffet with coffee, tea or juice included.9
Carry cash. Signs reading “Nur Barzahlung” (cash only) or “Keine EC-Zahlung” (no debit cards) are still part of the cityscape, and in April 2026 the governing coalition’s plan to make card payment compulsory had not been passed.10 Where cards are taken, Visa and Mastercard are the safest bets, and debit cards from other European countries don’t always work.9
Tipping is voluntary. In a café, round up to the next euro or leave the change; card terminals often suggest 5, 10, 15 or 20 percent, and you can skip the buttons.11 Say the total you want to pay as you hand over the money instead of leaving coins on the table.9
St. Oberholz on Rosenthaler Platz, open since 2005, is Berlin’s oldest coworking space, with the café downstairs and desks and conference rooms upstairs.12 Elsewhere laptops are less welcome: in 2023 the Tagesspiegel reported that more and more Berlin cafés ban them, so look for a sign before you unpack.13

FAQ
Cafés in Berlin: common questions
How much does a coffee cost in Berlin?
In 2026, an espresso cost €2.00 at Engels in Neukölln and €3.50 at Berliner Kaffeerösterei on Uhlandstraße, and a cappuccino €3.70 and €4.90 at the same two cafés. Deutsche Bank’s 2025 survey put the average Berlin cappuccino at €3.80. A slice of cheesecake at Berliner Kaffeerösterei was €6.40, and a simit on Kottbusser Damm cost about €1.50–2 in June 2026.
Which neighborhood of Berlin has the most cafés?
Kreuzberg and Mitte have the most cafés, followed by Prenzlauer Berg. In Kreuzberg they cluster along Bergmannstraße and Oranienstraße, in Mitte on Brunnenstraße and Rosenthaler Straße, and in Prenzlauer Berg on Schönhauser Allee and Kollwitzstraße.
Do cafés in Berlin accept card payments?
Many do, but plenty of Berlin cafés and restaurants still take cash only, with signs reading “Nur Barzahlung” or “Keine EC-Zahlung”. In April 2026 the city’s coalition wanted to make card payment compulsory, but nothing had been passed. Visa and Mastercard are accepted most often, and debit cards from other European countries sometimes fail, so carry some cash.
How much should you tip in a Berlin café?
Tipping is voluntary. In a Berlin café, round up to the next euro or leave the change. Card terminals often offer buttons for 5, 10, 15 or 20 percent, which you can skip. Tell the server the total you want to pay as you hand over the money, rather than leaving coins on the table.
What is Kaffee und Kuchen in Berlin?
Kaffee und Kuchen is coffee and cake taken in the afternoon, between lunch and dinner, and with Sunday coffee it usually means cake or Torte. In Berlin the tradition goes back to Konditoreien such as Johann Georg Kranzler’s, opened in 1825 at the corner of Unter den Linden and Friedrichstraße. The city’s first coffeehouse, the Café Royal, opened in 1722.
