On warmer days, the chance to sit outside on the terrace overlooking the serene river is a particular joy. The gentle breeze, the tranquil water, and even the charming company of curious sparrows create an inviting atmosphere that blends restful calm with vibrant city life.

One visitor describes the terrace as a "perfect little break," where the beauty of the surroundings enhances the pleasure of your coffee and cake.

This is a super tiny café, but they have a wide choice of cakes, which is great if you're craving something sweet. It's a nice spot for a quick stop, and when the weather is warm, I highly recommend sitting outside to enjoy the lovely view of the river. A perfect little break!

Our favorite place to grab a coffee and some food during our Berlin holiday. Coffee is good and prices are acceptable compared to some other places. Also visiting the Dom is very interesting

This place is somewhat hidden on the backside of the cathedral and down some stairs. We visited on an afternoon in April 2025 to have coffee drinks and cake. They were good. The terrace by the river was a little cool that day, so we chose to be inside.

A very handy spot for a quick lunch or coffee on Museum Island, particularly if it’s dry and you can sit outside by the river. We especially enjoyed the chocolate brownie

Just lovely to sit by the river and take in all the lives and culture! Very good coffee, just sad that they don't offer sustainable mugs. The staff was friendly and they also offer oat milk (yay!)
