Go back in time.

Wednesday, August 31st, 2011

Don’t think I ever posted these photos from 1900 Café Bistro. Went there ages ago. Some time last fall. But I’m pretty sure nothing has changed since then.

Worth a visit if you want to escape the Prenzlauerberg/Mitte crowd, enjoy solid food, great coffee, a variety of teas, and get the feeling of an “out of town breakfast”.

One for sunshine. One for rain.

Vanilla. A recently opened cupcake place in Prenzlauerberg that also serves frozen yoghurt. Pretty clever. And looks yummy! How about a snickers cupcake? – brilliant!

It’s so easy to satisfy

Sunday, March 6th, 2011

One piece €2,90 or four half pieces €6,90. More cakeries should adobt that concept. Perfect to share! – for two with an appetite. An absolutely mouthwatering selection at Barcomi’s in Sophie-Gips-Höfen.

Unfortunately the bistro style decor doesn’t reach the same level but then there’s take away – or tables outside in Summer.

Not just potato potato

But super delicious and very filling finest baked potatos. Eat in, take away, cater.

Bixel’s in Mulackstraße. Went there on Thursday. Thanks for the tip Constantin!

Breakfast from the Alps

Thursday, December 9th, 2010

This is the breakfast department. Right across from the Restaurant. Alpenstück in AckerstraßePlain, honest and on top of proper bread a fine selection of süßgebäck.

Fashion meets food

Saturday, November 27th, 2010

A combination which seems non-existing when you read fashion magazines or watch run way shows. Well, good thing Berlin is different!

Another vegan concept. They seem really into that in Neukölln. None the less, Sing Blackbird is worth a visit! For example tomorrow for the Sonntag Flohmarkt.

A Sunday sin the vegan way

Tuesday, September 28th, 2010

My apologies in case I have any vegan readers but I never really understood veganism. I’m probably just being ignorant and condemnatory but for example; vegans who wear leather shoes? Do it right or don’t do it at all.

Anyway! Vegan or not, the little wonders from Vux have totally won me over! The decadent cake place is celebrating their 1 year birthday on Sunday, October 3rd and you’re invited! (Not sure I am after my anti-vegan statement?).

So fancy some alcohol-free champagne? Richardstraße 38 after 12 pm. If you wan’t to dance it off afterwards there’s quite a nice line-up at Panorama….

In the right spot

Saturday, September 25th, 2010

I “discovered” The Barn on Sunday when trödling through Mitte with MM. Tested it on Monday: Excellent coffee + yummy croissant + non-Berliner service (which I see as a plus) = a place to return to.

Sandwiches looked mouthwatering as well. Good thing I’m lucky enough to have my office in their lunch box delivery zone (within Oranienstraße, Torstraße and Rosenthalerstraße).

Btw since the sun has decided to shine somewhere else than in Berlin (for good?) check out the Shades of Love project!

Russian delight – imbiss style

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

Had lunch with Evan at this Russian place just around the corner from his office the other day.

Very unpretentious decor but great food for the price. Where else can you get a proper lunch for two including tips for €11? Salads, pierogis, curd cheese pancakes…choose yourself, imbiss style.

Inselstraße, Mitte around nr 8.

Ein Nusskamm und ein Cappuccino. Bitte.

- and a pomegranate juice. My standard order for those mornings where I don’t rush to the office but decide to treat myself at my regular place in Sredzkistraße.

Btw, I’m still searching for the perfect brunch place. There’s always something wrong: Boring bread, sad-looking fruit, neutral-tasting eggs…

Maybe the Scandinavian definition of “a solid, high quality brunch” differs from the German? Or I’m too picky. The search goes on. Tips are most welcome!

Espresso yourself!

Coffee and 35 degrees don’t go well together. Ice coffee and 35 degrees are a way better match!

I mentioned Bonanza Coffee Heroes and Pro Macchina as my favorite coffee places but Impala is an adequate alternative. They recently opened a third place at Senefelder Platz.

Trying the cream cheese brownie is a must!

“Tall Latte, laktosefrei”

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

My morning order when I stop by Caras, the coffee place just across the street from my office. I’m not lactose intolerant, I just learned from Mo and Nina, that their lactose free latte tastes better.

Caras don’t make the best coffee in Berlin (you get that here) but it is pretty good and their banana-walnut muffin is super delicious!

- and the place is ideal for people watching or just reading your paper outside in the morning sun (morning in Berlin being 11 am).
