When it comes to coffee shops in Berlin, there’s no shortage of chic and trendy spots. These Berlin coffee roasters know what they’re doing and are offering some incredible spaces alongside. From cozy coffee shops to cafes that also serve food, this was one of my favorite parts of Berlin to discover.
What is better paired with specialty coffee than a brilliant space? The design of these third-wave coffee shops is here matches Berlin’s architectural beauty. Each spot unique in their own design, there is always something new to find. After a few days in the city, here is my curated list of the best coffee shops in Berlin.
A Guide to the Best Coffee Shops in Berlin
Distrikt Coffee
One of my favorites when we visited, I loved the atmosphere of their cafe. You can even enjoy a really delicious breakfast or brunch here as well. The weekends can be pretty busy so keep in mind you may need to wait for a table when visiting the café.
Address: Bergstraße 68, 10115 Berlin, Germany
Father Carpenter
Both a cafe and a coffee shop, Father Carpenter’s chic interior is everything you’d expect from Berlin. Carpenter coffee brewers is a win for a strong cup of coffee.
Address: Münzstraße 21, 10178 Berlin, Germany
Five Elephant Kreuzberg
Known not only for coffee but their cakes, this is one of those classic third-wave coffee shops in Berlin. *Note no WiFi.
Address: Reichenberger Str. 101, 10999 Berlin, Germany
Bonanza Coffee Roasters
This for me was the most similar to Australian coffee. Both a well-designed space and a stunning coffee bar, I’d head here to hang for the afternoon. Their coffee is incredible and their roastery is a place you can’t miss. I’d even recommend grabbing a bag of roasted beans to pour your own espresso at home. *Another location in Prenzlauer Berg as well.
Address: Adalbertstraße 70, 10999 Berlin, Germany
Silo Coffee
This gem is further out of town but well known for its strong flat white.
Address: Gabriel-Max-Straße 4, 10245 Berlin, Germany
THE BARN Cafe
It won “Best Independent European Coffee Shop in 2018” and ever since has been a gamechanger for Berlin’s coffee scene. With a few locations, I’d star them all as it’s uber convenient to find one when you’re out!
Address: Auguststraße 58, 10119 Berlin, Germany
The Greens Coffee and Plants
What pairs better than coffee and plants? Equally beautiful and good, this coffee shop is a gem for those looking for a green oasis.
Address: Am Krögel 2, 10179 Berlin, Germany

PS — Are You Booking a Trip Soon? Use My Booking Checklist!
These are the sites I use most to book my own trips. Using the links below is a great way to support Bon Traveler’s travel journalism at no extra cost to you. If you need help organizing your itinerary, get my free travel itinerary template here.
1. Book Your Accommodations
I use Booking.com for hotels and Airbnb for vacation rentals. They have the biggest inventory and consistently offer the best rates.
2. Book Your Rental Car
Self-driving is the best way to explore most destinations. I use Discover Cars for our rental cars, select full coverage insurance, and opt for a reputable company like Alamo, Hertz, or Sixt.
3. Book Your Tours & Experiences
I use Viator, Airbnb, and Get Your Guide to find the best tours and experiences. They are my favorite tour search engines. I always check all three as their inventory varies depending on the destination.
4. Book Your Private Transfers
For easy, reliable private transfers, I use Welcome Pickups. It’s my go-to for arranging a driver in advance — whether it’s an airport pickup, a hotel-to-hotel transfer, or a day trip. The experience is seamless, with English-speaking drivers and upfront pricing, so you can travel stress-free at every stage of your trip.
5. Get Cell Data for Your Trip
I use Holafly for international cell data. Their unlimited data eSIMs are easy to install, activate instantly on arrival, and let you skip local SIM cards and expensive roaming fees.
6. Don’t Forget Travel Insurance
I never leave the country without travel insurance. It provides comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong (ie. illness, injury, theft, or cancellations).
My favorite companies that offer the best coverage and rates are:
- World Nomads (best for all-around)
- Safety Wing (best for frequent travelers)
