8 Best Coffee Shops in Berlin | Condé Nast Traveler
"At first glance, Refugio looks like so many other achingly hip Berlin coffee joints: comfy golden couches, dangling plants, and local art for sale. But what makes it so unique is the fact that it’s staffed entirely by newly arrived migrants and asylum seekers. In fact, what you see is just one of five floors where 40 refugees from Syria, Somalia, Afghanistan, and Eritrea live and work as a large family. Weekly language courses, free exhibitions, great craft coffee, and a delicious Syrian brunch make this a local favorite." - Eliot Stein
