9 Best Brunch Spots in Berlin | Condé Nast Traveler
"Like plenty of other bars and restaurants in the hip Kreuzkölln neighborhood, Geist im Glass features a raw aesthetic warmed by artful walls, glowing candles, and mismatched vintage furniture. The end result is beautiful in a very Berlin way, but you might well be distracted by what’s on your plate: The famed cocktail bar ventures into brunch territory on the weekends, and they do a fine job of it. With so many creative cocktails, it would be a shame to opt for standard coffee when you can go for the Coffee Crack, a potent hair-of-the-dog with coffee bean– and Madagascan vanilla–infused vodka, or the Tepache Sour, a rum take on the classic whisky sour, complete with pineapple and ginger. As for the food itself, there are only five options but the dulce de leche pancakes are something of a Berlin legend, with fluffy American-style buttermilk pancakes topped with dulce de leche and bourbon maple syrup. If you veer savory, however, the huevos rancheros are also a knockout, particularly when you add (what else?) bacon." - Krystin Arneson
