An Australian-run specialty coffee bar just off Boxhagener Platz that helped set the template for Berlin's flat-white-and-brunch culture. Expect properly pulled coffee, a tight brunch menu heavy on smashed avocado and good eggs, and a queue on weekend mornings spilling onto Gabriel-Max-Straße.
It sits at the heart of the Boxhagener Kiez, the prettiest corner of Friedrichshain — leafy streets of restored tenements, a Saturday food market and Sunday flea market on the square, and cafés on every block. Come early or be prepared to wait.
