In the heart of the western part of the city, near the infamous Kurfürsterdamm, you can find this cafe away from the fancy crowd and noisy traffic, but still close to the Wittenberg Platz, Zoologische Garten and the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtnis-Kirche memorial.
This cafe is the perfect place to have a break enjoying one of their coffees from the world or indulging yourself with a cake. Their specialty is the coffees they bring from Africa, Latin America or Europe.
I'm not such a big fan of coffee, and the the frozen yogurt season is over, so my personal recommendation is the carrot cake. But the Arabian Nights coffee does sound tempting.
Or if you're feeling adventurous, the latest addition to the menu is the Golden Latte, a harmonious interplay of milk, turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, pepper and honey. A perfect way to take the edge off and heat up the engines for a spicy dinner.
