""Cafe Kranzler" is an icon of west Berlin's Kaffee Kultur. It hosts the well-known coffee-roasting house The Barn; even I can tell the difference in taste."

The Kranzler coffee house is an icon of west Berlin's Kaffee Kultur. Sitting on the rooftop of the Ku'damm Superdry store, it hosts the well-known local coffee-roasting house The Barn, offering a good view over the busiest boulevard in the city with a large balcony and a south-facing rooftop terrace to enjoy sunny days.

As with any purist rum or whiskey lover mixing their elixir with ice or water is more than a sin, when it comes to coffee you can speak with a cafeliers in terms of the fragrance of its powder and its aroma when diluted in water, its acidity, balance, body, color, cleanliness, sweetness and aftertaste.  Note that there is no milk, Bailey's or any other ingredient involved. Nevertheless, they do have milk and won't throw you out of the store if you ask for it.

The Barn works closely with coffee farms to slow them down in order to produce the best beans in their regions. And then the beans are roasted in the light Nordic style, which brings out all the flavors of the ripe coffee berry to avoid the ashy roast flavor common in darker coffees.

Without being a coffee fan, I can tell that this coffee has a fruity taste I hadn't experienced before.

About me "Normality Is A Paved Road: It's Comfortable to Walk, but No Flowers Grow" - Vincent Van Gogh I'm malleable like copper, but a better conductor of heat and electricity. Why Berlin Berlin is a beehive always at boiling point. There is room for artists, families, night owls, fortune tellers, gatekeepers, tree whisperers, daydreamers, card givers, bigwigs and small folks. It's quite green and there are alternatives for every taste, age, vice, addiction, allergy and disease! Where else can you find me online?...

The Heart of Prenzlauer Berg

What makes them even more special is their friendly nature. On most days, you might run into their owner Jonathan, the heart and soul of the café. SPRO would not shine the same way without his thoughtfulness.

Libanon Falafel Berlin

Libanon Falafel

Berlin's Cheapest Snack

For €2, you can enjoy their falafel, shawarma, or kafta wrap. Their falafel wrap can be fully plant-based, too, just let them know, so they omit some sauces. They're better off as a snack because they're a bit on the smaller side.
