Do Berliners (Berlinese?) know how to brunch or what?
Yes, yes they do...and Anna Blume is quite possibly the loveliest of places to enjoy a beautifully German brunch, in the shade of old trees, small groups chattering away (in only a way I've found in Germany...quiet, yet understandable), tables set precariously (yet sturdily) among the cobblestone sidewalks. Rays of sun dotting the patio area, birds jumping about from table to table...
It's ideal. It's out of my brunching dreams.
My recommendation: get a group of 4 together, head over and split the Anna Blume brunch tier for 4. It works out to being not only very affordable per person, but you'll get to sample a bit of all the brunch delicacies: spreads, jams, breads, eggs, butter, more spreads, meats, cheeses, fruits...(see I told you, wonderful, wonderful thing we've discovered here!) They also have this brunch tier for 2 (17,5) or...of course you can order your own, which is what I did.
The Amonome (sp?) was a beautiful tiered plate of lox, horseradish spread, breads, fruits, strawberry jam, butter, with scrambled eggs atop pumpernickel toast. My dining companion ordered the same. We also each had two coffees...I favored the small pot of coffee with side of milk (then a cappucino) both served with multiple cookies, of course. He had the latte machiatto.
Our whole bill for a brunch fit for kings plus enough caffeine to spark a horse: under 30 euros.
*there are blankets on the patio in case of a chill.
*gets busy on weekends.
*they have a cake bar!? WHAT, I missed this. Next time.
My favorite breakfast in Berlin (in Germany!) thus far. I'll definitely be back, it's a very happy place, and they even have a flower shop. As if it couldn't be improved upon...then you realized you could bring fresh flowers home to bask in your German brunch coma.
