Röststätte Berlin

A lovely little spot with great coffee and tasty snacks and sandwiches. The service is friendly, and the atmosphere is welcoming. While the aesthetics aren’t my favorite, the space is still pleasant. Ideal for a quick stop or a takeaway coffee.

The cafe is really nice and the coffee is great, as well as the food options which are delicious. The drawback of this place is some of the staff who are very cold, (no one is smiling), not eager to help us make a choice on ordering. When we went to order a coffee on the go, the guy at the counter literally ignored us and spoke in German to the other costumers to go to the left and make a line, which we obviously didn’t know because we are not from there and spoke in English. Other costumers took our spot while we were just standing in the front, certainly ignored on purpose, and left without taking the coffee, went to another cafe. In a city full of cafes and bars, being professional and warm is what can keep you competitive.

They wouldn’t let me into the café at –2°C with my sleeping baby because strollers aren’t allowed. There was even a side area inside where no one would have been bothered, but they still refused to let us in. They even pointed to a sticker on the door to justify the policy. Someone should remind them that it’s Berlin in 2025… P.S. The coffee is fully overrated anyway.

One of the best coffee places in Berlin, nice Italian affogato with a balanced texture between ice cream and espresso which is just how it should be. Not sour, just delicious.

I just wish the pistachio croissant was not almost empty inside.

If you really love coffee and you search clear flavours and properly made cups then this place must be in the top of your list. Everything there is premium apart from their prices. Very reasonably priced cups of coffee, high quality beans, extremely friendly and passionate coffee people! Well done guys!!!

08.8.2022 The strawberry cheesecake was awesome 👍 04.08.2022 Also recommend the homemade ice tea ✨ 16.07.2022 One of the best cafes in Berlin hands down, in a vibrant and cool area. The staff are very friendly too. I don't recall the names of the cakes I ordered, but both were super yummy 😋 Also really liked the way they served the tea 👏

Great location, interiors are cosy, nice terrace that gets the sun, good coffee from generally friendly baristas who know what they are doing. The pastries are decent enough although there is some stiff competition in this area. My only caveat is one staff member (possibly the owner?) who works here who is mind-bogglingly rude. She slams your drink down on your table, glares you down if you try and smile at her, whips away everyone’s cups before they’ve even had a chance to finish their drinks making you feel incredibly unwelcome. I now avoid this cafe in order not to have to interact with this particular whirlwind of negative vibes. Mitte now has a plethora of wonderful cafes with friendly, smiley staff who brighten your day, and don’t go out of their way to make you feel like you have to drink your coffee and leave within 5 mins, so I can’t understand the places that still encourage this behaviour from their staff. Apart from that it’s a lovely place.

Lovely little spot to get coffee and a pastry. The place has a nice vibe and decent customer service. Would return.

Best iced latte I had in awhile- perfectly balanced. My boyfriend who got the espresso thought it pretty decent as well. And that's saying a lot for a coffee fanatic. The tomato mozzarella panini was meh (the bread on it was great though).

Cold brew in a flask. $4 feels like a bit much to pay but it's worth it for the STRONG coffee, water it down with all that free water if you're intimidated. Unbeatable AND a free water station (they give you ice if you ask!) glamour shots to follow :) LA LA LA LOVE THIS PLACE!

Definitely nice to sit out on the side walk and enjoy your coffee. A plus: they roast their own coffee. Coffee tasted great however the milk added to the latte was not hot enough. The barista didn't know anything about the pastries they serve. Lastima!

I just had the best cup of coffee I've ever had in Europe here. Handbrew, Rwandan origin. The service was excellent. Not sure what everyone else is complaining about. The barista knew what he was talking about and helped me with my order. He even used some English since my German was obviously nicht so gut! My order came quickly and they brought it outside in just a couple minutes. I will definitely be back for my next cup of coffee.

Nice, small espresso bar. They sell machines and train baristas next door. I thought I would get one of the best espressos ever, but I didn't. The crema was ok, the temperature was fine, the size as expected, however the coffee was too acidic, and did not have enough body. They need to roast the beans more for espresso.

First, if the kind reader is *thinking* of going to this Röststätte location, I highly recommend instead, going around the corner to the Kastanienallee address - the other Röststätte - where the people behind the counter have remembered, not forgotten, customer service. There it's a younger group of people -who also speak good english as a plus- more in touch and less 'aloof' with 'ost-steinkopf'/'owner-symptom'. The improved environment makes the experience of enjoying the coffee etc. much easier on the stomach. The coffees are rare varieties as well as the more usual. A treat is the AeroPress Kenia or whatever is on offer, enjoyed by two. Also (usually, morning to noon) has almond-based, gluten (and grain) free cookies, which are just right in sweetness. Although lately they've been out. ...... Longer review: After seeing a video interview posted by steve leighton {hasbean coffee UK, in my mug episode 255}, where he visits the shop and converses with the operators, we were excited to try this apparently special coffee shop; only to be disappointed by the forgetful, poor-quality service. Enticing on the other side of the archway connecting the brewing with the equipment, is an entire possibility of ways to brew coffee, twice the size of the seating area. Filled with all of the best brewing equipment from single brew home use on-up, AeroPress, etc - this elevated our enthusiasm while the indifferent attitude of the people operating the counter sunk it farther than the displays of finery increased it. As the only other Yelp commenter (auf deutsch/german) writes: he was enjoying the last sunny days of the year, the 19th of october... and it WAS a beautiful day. Google Translate does a decent job of giving an idea, unfortunately a bug in the Yelp app means it's impossible to translate his review on a smartphone... Since I am using a laptop to write this, and can see what he wrote, I basically support his review. IN OUR CASE, We were in a similar situation as he, and similarly visited around the same time. {Due to the Qype-Yelp transition, it was not really possible to easily leave a comment at that time though.} We had missed meeting Steve the day of the Berlin marathon, and excitedly wanted to try a roastery he seemed to endorse. Unfortunately, as people generally in the 'east' when assumed to be in some kind of service position, have an outstanding reputation generally for amazingly-bad customer service, this place's people were no exception and I honestly don't expect it to change. Completely ignoring us almost, with no one else in the shop, maybe one other order happening, too caught up in some prattle. It's a pity because technically, the coffees presented and technical method of presentation are the best - technically. Customer service was so abysmal after our experience at the Ackerstraße shop, and we were left with such an empty feeling, that I didn't order the speciality coffees; instead having the bright idea to take us to the other shop, and IT WAS MUCH BETTER. Take a lesson - you terrible, terrible so-called owners! We were rewarded with very good service by several attentive people at the Kastanienallee shop. The barista there, now on two occasions, was professional, knowledgeable, and most of all, friendly. There was also another woman behind the counter who was helpful.

im living around the corner so i am really often at the röststätte and i think they are making a very good coffee (latte, capuccino whatever) with a perfect and slightly taste of really good coffee! they also put some nice pics on the coffee!;-) i like it a lot!!!

Die Bedienung hat ab und zu ihre kleinen Launen, aber der Kaffee, besonders der Cappuccino, ist wirklich erstklassig hier: nicht so eine überhitzte Milchbrühe mit Kakao drauf, wie man sie häufig in Deutschland bekommt.
