Röststätte Berlin

This became my favorite location of Röststätte after the very first visit. The nicest barista recommended me seasonal drinks and helped me choose coffee beans for my home espresso machine. The atmosphere in this location is very cozy and more chill, although there are still a lot of visitors. Staff were very friendly and service here was so much nicer.

Review: Amazing Coffee, Disappointing Service As someone who visits this coffee spot in Berlin regularly, I can confidently say they serve the best Flat white coffee in town. The quality of the coffee is unmatched—smooth, perfectly balanced, and clearly crafted by experts. It’s a highlight of my day and a reason I keep coming back. However, every visit is overshadowed by the poor customer service, particularly from the lady at the cashier. Her demeanor is consistently unfriendly and at times even borderline inappropriate, making the experience feel far from welcoming. It’s frustrating that a place with such incredible coffee allows the customer experience to suffer like this. While I continue to return for the coffee, I sincerely hope they address this issue. Great coffee deserves great service, and improving this would make the place truly exceptional. For now, I recommend it for the coffee—but be prepared for the disappointing atmosphere.

Outstanding cafe! Excellent and friendly service, an elegant relaxed ambiance, with highly skilled baristas passionate about their craft. There are two Rostatte cafes, this one is the better one of the two by far. Highly recommended!

Röststätte Berlin is a great coffee roastery in Berlin. They have a wide selection of high-quality beans from all over the world, and their coffee is roasted to perfection

Speciality coffee with a range of AMAZING beans to choose from. The café can be quite busy, but seems to retain a chill vibe despite this. They had a few vegan options, too. Toilets available. I don't think I've ever met friendlier staff. Many thanks to the Ukrainian barista who spent a generous amount of time helping me choose. This alone made my trip to Berlin worth it.

One of the best coffees I’ve ever drank in Berlin.

Nice coffee. The vibe of the place is cozy, also a bit full

When I was here to buy coffee beans this Monday, I experienced something unbelievable. A woman and her child were placing their order with the cashier, who had always been very nice to me, when suddenly a colleague in a gray hoodie interrupted them and threw two bags of beans in the cashier’s faces. We were all shocked to see this. The casher tried to remain friendly in that uncomfortable situation. I can't imagine how humiliated she must have been. Plus, there was a CHILD right in front of them! I really like and enjoy their coffee and I don't want to see this kind of situation again and I hope they take this situation seriously.

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.
