Category: Brunch

The brunch scene in Neukölln is diverse and dynamic – just like the district itself. There is something for every palate here. Whether you fancy a classic breakfast, international flavors, or innovative dishes, these brunch venues will satisfy your cravings. 

Neukölln is not just a foodie paradise but also rich in history and culture. The area boasts beautiful green spaces like the Tempelhofer Feld, a former airport turned public park, and the Britzer Garten, perfect for strolls and picnics. One of Neukölln’s main streets, Sonnenallee, is often called “Arab Street” due to its numerous Middle Eastern shops and restaurants. Here, you can try delicious Arab and Turkish breakfasts.

Historically a working-class neighborhood, Neukölln has undergone significant gentrification over the past few decades, transforming into a hotspot for artists, creatives, and young professionals. The district is a melting pot of cultures, reflected in its wide variety of international restaurants, trendy cafés, and street markets.

Explore these top brunch picks on your next visit to Berlin’s Neukölln district!

Venue

Venue is one of our favorite brunch spots in Berlin Neukölln. Our author has spent countless hours here, enjoying cozy brunches with friends, working on her laptop, or having a quick cake between tasks. Located in the heart of Weserstraße, Venue is perfectly situated amidst the fabulous vintage stores, cafés, restaurants, and bars that define the area. If you’re new to Neukölln, we recommend starting at Weserstraße and walking towards the canal to soak in the local vibe.

Why do we love Venue so much? Firstly, the interior. The minimalist design, complemented by beautiful dried flowers and vases (which are also for sale), creates a welcoming and stylish atmosphere. Secondly, the brunch experience here is customizable; everything is served in small bowls, allowing you to mix and match your favorites. Highlights include scrambled eggs, waffles, apricot croissants, and homemade cakes. Thirdly, the coffee is exceptional, with beans sourced from Fjord Coffee.

Next time you’re in Berlin Neukölln, stop by Venue and see why it’s a beloved spot for locals and visitors alike.

dots

Just a few blocks away from Venue, also on Neukölln’s Weserstraße, you will find dots. This small, hip Australian café is renowned for its excellent coffee and delicious breakfast offerings. We highly recommend trying the well-seasoned shakshuka, crispy paninis, homemade granola bowl, and egg florentine with poached egg. The pancakes are also a standout, featuring toppings like bacon among other delicious options. For those with dietary preferences, dots offers a variety of vegan choices.

Breakfast is served until 3 p.m., making it an ideal spot for a leisurely brunch or a late breakfast, especially if you’re recovering from a weekend hangover. Enjoy!

21gramm

The 21gramm is a beautiful oasis of calm in the middle of gloomy Neukölln. It is one of the most aesthetically pleasing cafés in Berlin, with a large terrace and an architecturally unique building. The café is located in a historic chapel, which adds a special touch to your dining experience. High ceilings, stained glass windows, and a modern and vintage décor blend create a peaceful environment.

The hall alone, with its high domed ceiling supported by stone pillars, is a sight to behold. The outdoor area offers a charming setting with historic clinker brick walls adorned with wild vines. At 21gramm, you can indulge in a diverse range of high-quality food, from healthy options to those perfect for curing a hangover. Imagine savoring a hearty shakshuka (also available in a vegan version), or indulging in toasted banana bread with vanilla mascarpone, and various delectable cakes. The café also serves an incredible array of drinks. We recommend the “Birnini” with pureed pear and the “Bellini” with pureed peach. 

We recommend making a reservation. The 21gramm can also be booked as an event location. 

Address: Hermannstr. 179, 12049 Berlin

Sorrel

The Sorrel is another pearl in the Neukölln brunch landscape. The restaurant is super stylish and has plenty of outdoor seating. You can enjoy various unusual breakfast specialties here seven days a week. How about French toast with burnt apple puree and sherry caramel? Or are you more in the mood for Fried Eggs & Labneh with Confit Garlic? The chefs at Sorrel know what they’re doing. 

Sorrel offers a breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu (by the way, they also serve fantastic natural wine) that focuses on seasonality and the quality of the produce. The menu changes frequently based on seasonality and the availability of the best products. The coffee from local roasters, such as Fjord Coffee Roasters, also tastes excellent.

To ensure you don’t miss out on the Sorrel experience, we strongly recommend booking a table in advance. Additionally, it’s best to bring cash with you, as the restaurant operates on a cash-only basis. 

Address: Pannierstr. 40, 12047 Berlin

Mona Lisa Classique

If you prefer something less fancy and more authentic, Café Mona Lisa is the place for you. The interior is rather “shabby chic”, here it’s all about the fresh baked goods and the excellent Turkish breakfast.

You can choose from various breakfast platters and there are also many vegetarian and vegan options. We particularly like the menemen (Turkish egg dish with tomato and peppers) and the delicious cakes. The prices are fair and the service is super friendly. If you want to enjoy a relaxed brunch (either outside or inside) in Berlin Neukölln, this is the right place for you.

Address: Wildenbruchstr. 7, 12045 Berlin

Isla Coffee Berlin

Isla Coffee Berlin is committed to sustainability and quality, offering a selection of brunch dishes made from organic ingredients. Their menu includes a range of sweet and savory options, from granola bowls to savory tarts. The café’s modern design and commitment to eco-friendly practices make it a standout choice in Neukölln.

In addition to its delicious food and coffee, Isla Coffee Berlin is also known for its sustainability: not only is unnecessary packaging material saved and waste minimized, but attention is also paid to a sensible supply chain. So what are you waiting for?

Geschwister Nothaft Café

If you stumble out of the Ringbahn at Sonnenallee S-Bahn station, you are almost inside this relaxed brunch café called Geschwister Nothaft. You can hardly miss this spot – just follow the pink window frames.

The cozy café has both a spacious terrace on Siegfried-Aufhäuser-Platz and a large indoor area, making it ideal for brunching with friends or coworking in a relaxed atmosphere. In addition to excellent organic coffee, the café serves delicious muffins, cakes, and hearty snacks such as sandwiches and bagels.

Address: Schwarzastr. 9, 12055 Berlin

Holy Coffee

This cozy breakfast haven is nestled right on Sonnenallee. Holy Coffee stands out with its unique open work area at the entrance. Instead of a counter or bar, there’s a small terminal opposite a large wooden table.

At Holy Coffee, you will find delicious freshly baked pastries and other snacks, such as chia pudding, lemon cake, bagels, Bircher muesli, and croissants. Those with a bigger appetite will also find what they are looking for: options like avocado bread, bread with goat’s cheese, walnuts, plums, and fig jam, or a red smoothie bowl with homemade granola and fruit. Another highlight is the pancakes – thick, fluffy, and light, served with berry compote, powdered sugar, and maple syrup. This is exactly how it should be.

Address: Sonnenallee 132, 12059 Berlin

Café bRICK

Are you in Berlin Neukölln and looking for a hearty breakfast in a cozy atmosphere? Then you should stop by Café Brick near Hermannplatz.

The café offers a variety of expertly brewed coffee options, from classic espressos to creamy cappuccinos, using high-quality beans.

Shakshuka, English breakfast, fantastic pancakes, pancakes with eggs and bacon, spinach omelet, and many vegan options – your brunch fantasies come true at this Barcelona brunch spot.

Gringa All Day

Make American breakfast great again… Gringa is the Californian diner we didn’t know we needed. With amazing chicken waffles (!), fish tacos, pancakes, blueberry waffles, milkshakes and other American specialities they stole our heart at the first visit. Gringa clearly differentiates itself from other brunch spots in Barcelona and that’s what we love about it. Not only from a culinary perspective, Gringa has its own handwriting and makes every visit a special brunch experience. On the weekends you can expect a queue as they don’t take reservations.

Good news for everyone who is in Raval: Gringa has a sister in Raval too (where you actually can make reservations).

Address: Carrer de Trafalgar, 39, Eixample, 08010 Barcelona

District: Eixample

@gringaallday

Cremat11

If you’re looking for delicious pancakes, Cremat11 is the place to go. The American brunch restaurant is one of our favorites – here, you can enjoy a variety of four-tier (!) pancake creations with passion fruit, chocolate with wild berries, and caramelized bananas. But if you’re more in the mood for something savory, this is also the place for you. Every day from 10 am to 4 pm, you can get delicious Eggs Benedict, scrambled eggs, breakfast burgers, pancakes with bacon, and much more. We also like that Cremat11 has a lovely terrace on a quiet square for the often crowded El Born.

Address: Carrer de Cremat Gran i Xic 11, 08003 Barcelona

District: El Born

@cremat11

T 44

If you attach great importance to aesthetics at brunch, T 44 or Taulat 44 in the quiet Poblenou is the place for you. The café and brunch restaurant opened in 2023 and is a real feast for the eyes. The minimalist and stylish design extends from the silver metallic plates to the presentation of the delicious cakes and brunch specialties. It’s best to see for yourself. The T 44 has already experienced a big hype in Barcelona after a short time – this may be due not only to the great design but also to the unusual brunch creations such as green hummus and “fosforitos” and the excellent coffee. When you enter the brunch restaurant in Poblenou, the smell of frog-baked carrot cake and croissants wafts into your nose.

Address: Carrer del Taulat, 44, 08005 Barcelona

District: Poblenou

@taulat44

Caravelle

Caravelle is a true classic in Raval. You sit here in a cozy atmosphere and have a great selection of homemade breakfast dishes, specialty coffee, cocktails, and artisan craft beer. With roots in Australia and London, this Melbourne-style café arrived on the scene back in 2012, ushering in a new era of brunch and specialty coffee in Barcelona. Caravelle takes its coffee seriously, offering expertly brewed drinks using beans from local roasters.

We recommend trying the French toast, the croissant waffle, and the homemade (and not too sweet) made-by-hand soda cans in bright colors. Salads and healthy bowls are suitable for those who prefer a more nutritious breakfast.

By the way, if you are too lazy to go to the brunch restaurant in Barcelona, you can also order a delicious breakfast delivered to your home.

Picnic

Are you ready for a deluxe picnic? Welcome to Picnic – one of our favorite brunch spots in Barcelona.

Picnic Restaurant is a family-run restaurant that has been running for ten years near the Park de la Ciutadella. The dishes are creative with Latin American influences. The menu is full of flavorful surprises, from classic dishes like fluffy pancakes and eggs Benedict to more adventurous options like Pulled Pork Eggs Benedict and Chilaquiles. Each dish has fresh, high-quality ingredients and is beautifully presented. Our menu highlights are the Eggs Benedict with salmon, the Huevos Rancheros, the French toast, and the fried green tomatoes. We prefer to sit on the large terrace (it’s worth booking). Enjoy your meal!

Address: Carrer del Comerç, 1, 08003 Barcelona

District: El Born

@picnicrestaurant

Lato

Latin vibes in the heart of Barcelona: Lato stands for unique flavors that combine the best traditional Andean cuisine from Ecuador with a Mediterranean touch. Lato is unique, exciting, and incredibly delicious. Each dish is a work of art—fusion brunch at its best.

Be sure to try their special creation “Bikini Manaba” (poached eggs on sourdough bikini filled with Latin cheese, ham, and roasted banana) and the ceviche. You can also enjoy delicious cocoa and coffee here. Lato is a beautiful part of Barcelona’s brunch scene that we don’t want to miss.

Address: Carrer del Bruc, 118, 08009 Barcelona & Carrer de Davant del Portal Nou, 3, 08003 Barcelona

The Egg Lab

As we all know, you eat with your eyes: The Egg Lab is one of Barcelona’s most aesthetically pleasing brunch restaurants. However, the brunch spot with three different locations in Barcelona impresses not only with its futuristic design with colorful walls and organic shapes but also with its menu. Here, you will find – as the name suggests – egg dishes in their highest form. With a lot of creativity, you will find the perfect Eggs Benedict (an excellent recommendation is the Korean Chicken Benedict variation), Mexican Eggs Rancheros, and sourdough bread with kale and sautéed mushrooms. The Egg Lab’s motto is “feel good, be good” – we could hardly imagine a better place to feel good.

Address: Carrer de Bruc, 33, 08010 Barcelona & Carrer de Sepúlveda, 80, 08015 Barcelona & Carrer Lluís el Piadós, 2, 08003 Barcelona

Raw Studio

Raw Studio in the northern district of Sarrià is a dream come true for anyone who loves Scandinavian-style minimalist design and places great value on local products. The service is excellent, and healthy treats compose a good menú for breakfast and brunch. In addition to avocado toast with a 6-minute egg, the menu includes cardamom brioche, overnight oats, and cinnamon rolls. In the evening, the Raw Studio becomes a great natural wine bar (find out more about natural wine in Barcelona here). Perfect for breakfast with friends or a healthy snack between meals.

Address: Carrer de l’Avenir, 66, 08021 Barcelona

Trópico

If you’re looking to take your taste buds on a culinary journey, Trópico Barcelona is the place to be. With two locations in the city, this popular brunch spot offers a unique experience where you can explore flavors from around the world without leaving your table. Trópico is perfect for those who crave variety and love trying new breakfast creations. This colorful café allows diners to sample global flavors, from Latin American delicacies to Caribbean-inspired treats.

The popular brunch spot also offers a large selection of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free dishes. We recommend the cachaca (a Venezuelan specialty), the bombing pancakes, and the arepas.

Did you enjoy our list of our favorite brunch spots in Barcelona? If you love a good and extended brunch as much as we do, you also should check out our other brunch recommendations!

Brunch is more than just a meal for us, it’s a cherished part of our day. We’re always on the lookout for new and exciting brunch spots in Berlin, and we can’t wait to share our discoveries with you.

We don’t have to mention that Berlin has thousands of brunch restaurants. That’s why we’re showing you our favorite brunch spots in various Berlin districts. This time, it’s all about the chic district of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf. 

Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf is a beautiful microcosm in Berlin. Key attractions include the opulent Charlottenburg Palace and the iconic Ku’damm, as well as many museums, theaters, and galleries. Charlottenburg is a feast for the eyes and a paradise for food lovers, especially those who enjoy a leisurely brunch. From cozy cafes serving traditional German breakfast platters (usually with many different cheeses, sausages, eggs, marmalade, and fresh German bread) to chic restaurants offering gourmet brunch buffets, there’s something for everyone. All you want is a classic Eggs Benedict? We’ve got you covered. Let’s go!

Check out these brunch restaurants in Berlin Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf!

Seven Heaven Breakfast

The first thing you see when you enter Seven Heaven Breakfast on Savignyplatz in Berlin Charlottenburg is blue, blue, and blue. The walls and furnishings are all painted in a vibrant royal blue. We felt at home there. You can assemble your own breakfast (rolls, bread, vegetables, fruit, cheese, salmon, egg and more). They also serve different bagels, Austrian “Kaiserschmarrn,” and delicious French toast loaded with berries (definitely a must!). And if you’re starving, you can try the Croque burger with cheese, egg, caramelized onions, and ham. 

If you fancy a boozy brunch (which is very popular among Berliners), you can order Mimosa and Espresso Martini with your breakfast. We recommend reserving a table.

Address: Savignyplatz 11, 10623 Berlin

@sevenheavenbreakfast

Schwarzes Café

Visiting the Schwarzes Café on Savignyplatz in Berlin Charlottenburg is a must whenever we are in Berlin. The Schwarze Café is much more than just a café – it is one of the few restaurants and brunch venues in Berlin that is open (almost) around the clock. The Schwarze Café in Berlin, founded in 1978, is perfect for enjoying a delicious brunch with friends and great for lunch, cake in between, or drinks in the evening. 

On two floors, the black walls, many works of art, and the charm of this old Berlin apartment with its high ceilings make you feel right at home. The prices are also fair. We recommend the creamy scrambled eggs, the “Kaiserschmarrn”, and the breakfast platters. But you can order anything here – you won’t be disappointed. Here (as in many breakfast stores in Berlin), only cash payment is possible.

Address: Kantstraße 148, 10623 Berlin

@schwarzescafe

Benedict Berlin

The Benedict breakfast restaurant in Berlin Wilmersdorf is no longer an insider tip. Unfortunately, there are sometimes long queues in the morning, and reservations are only possible from 4 pm. For all those who love the New York breakfast classic Eggs Benedict, a visit to this Berlin brunch restaurant is worthwhile: Eggs Benedict are available here in five different variations – with bacon, mushrooms, avocado, shrimp, or paired with salmon in a buttery croissant. The French toast, pancakes, homemade cakes, and eggplant carpaccio are just as delicious. Whichever dish you choose, Benedict’s brunch heart will beat faster. There are also lemonades and cocktails.

By the way, Benedict Berlin also offers various picnic and breakfast boxes. These are perfect for your next date idea in Berlin with your loved one. Enjoy! 

Address: Uhlandstraße 49, 10719 Berlin

@benedictberlin

All About Café – West Berlin

If you don’t feel like waiting for a table at Benedict Berlin, you don’t have to miss out on a good breakfast. Just a few meters away, another breakfast place has opened—All About Café West. We particularly liked the friendly service and the egg drop (soft toasted brioche bread with eggs, hollandaise sauce, and various fillings) sandwiches. The coffee here is particularly aromatic; the beans come from Brazil. 

If you are not in Wilmersdorf but in Berlin Friedrichshain, you can visit the second branch of the All About Café. Let us know how you enjoyed this brunch spot in Berlin.

Address: Uhlandstraße 52, 10719 Berlin

@allaboutcafeberlin

SETS Café

SETS is a proper breakfast classic in Berlin Charlottenburg. In the beautiful Schlüterstraße, we have spent several cozy mornings with friends for a boozy brunch or breakfast, no matter the time of day.

Sets offer a range of breakfast options, including pancakes, Belgian waffles, homemade shakshuka, and club sandwiches with sourdough bread. Those who like a healthy morning can order freshly squeezed juices, acai, and detox bowls. Vegan options are also available. The SETS classic, however, is the well-filled and beautifully draped étagère, where you can choose from various options and select from three or five bowls. So you can put together your perfect breakfast.

Address: Schlüterstraße 36, 10629 Berlin

@sets_berlin

Café Friedrichs

Café Friedrichs is a great brunch spot in the north of Berlin-Charlottenburg, close to the University of the Arts and Charlottenburg Palace. Café Friedrichs has quickly made a name in the otherwise quiet Mierendorffplatz neighborhood. And we know why: Besides freshly roasted coffee with latte art, they serve delicious pancakes, healthy bowls (e.g., with falafel or beet), generously filled sourdough sandwiches, tasty scrambled eggs, and shakshuka. The café also offers several vegan options. The cozy atmosphere invites you to read and look out of the window. In summer, however, we prefer to sit on the terrace and enjoy our cappuccino in the sun.

Address: Mierendorffplatz 2-4, 10589 Berlin

@cafefriedrichs

Maikind

The brunch café Maikind Berlin has only recently opened and is already one of our favorites. Maikind has perfected the aesthetic presentation of delicious breakfast specialties. In addition to artistically decorated smoothie bowls (for example, with mango and passion fruit), you will find fresh juices in all colors, a Mediterranean breakfast platter with egg and halloumi, juicy egg drop sandwiches, carrot cake, chicken brioche, and pancakes. Mmmhh! Do not forget the delicious coffee you can enjoy here in a stylish and elegant setting near Berlin’s Ludwigkirchplatz. We are pleased about this beautiful brunch enrichment in Berlin Wilmersdorf! What do you think?

Address: Pariser Straße 15, 10719 Berlin

@maikind.berlin

Die Stulle

“Stulle” is the German term for sandwiches. Originally, back in the days, “Stulle” meant a thick bread without toppings. You will find exactly the opposite in the Charlottenburg café “Die Stulle.” Every piece of bread is a miniature work of art, reinterpreted, creative, and piled high. At €17 per “Stulle,” it’s not cheap, but every bite is a delight.

There is also something for sweet tooths here: strawberry French toast, smoothie bowls, chia pudding, and pancakes. The café near Berlin’s Savignyplatz relies on high-quality ingredients and regional suppliers. By the way, the Brunch Café in Berlin Charlottenburg also offers delicious catering. We recommend making a reservation. 

Address: Carmerstraße 10, 10623 Berlin

@die_stulle

Café 1love4 Ku’damm

You will find the 1love4 Café directly on Berlin’s Kurfürstendamm. As the name suggests, nothing works here without good coffee. In typical Ku’damm style, you can find various superfood smoothies and juices here. In addition to homemade sourdough bread, there are multiple bagels, crepes, pancakes, and different egg dishes (you have to try the scrambled eggs with truffle and parmesan!) 

We particularly like the interior, with different wooden furniture and a beautiful outdoor area, where you can watch the action on the famous shopping street undisturbed. Another plus point is that the café is very laptop-friendly. Check it out!

Address: Kurfürstendamm 104, 10711 Berlin
