Off the beaten track around Kastanienallee. This little bistro proves to be the ideal breakfast nook.

There’s an ample breakfast menu with a vegetarian selection as well an Italian meat and cheese variety. A French Croissant whilst perusing a complimentary morning newspaper is perfect in this chill out zone, as is hanging with friends for an afternoon beer while the Lass uns Freunde tunes soundtrack your stay.

The staff really knows how to pour a hot drink; all their teabags are packed with natural leaves and the cappuccinos are crowned with a luscious froth that echoes Milan’s coffee culture. For those who like a cigarette with their coffee or tea, single cigs are available for 30 cent and can be enjoyed in the designated area. Non smokers will be grateful for the partitioned wall but the large window still keeps things communal.

Post watershed things get more lively, thanks mainly to their perfectionist cocktail mixers and the punching power of the generous vodka shots. All bases covered then from dawn till dusk.
