Herman Schulz Berlin

Cosy Café Collective

"Herman Schulz feels like a warm living room, with vintage charm, live music, chess nights, and a crackling fireplace. Grab a coffee, wine, or a good book!"

Stepping inside Herman Schulz is like entering your grandmother's living room: wooden tables adorned with crochet aprons, vintage sofas inviting you to sink in, walls lined with portraits and paintings, a piano waiting for guests to play, and a fireplace crackling away on chilly winter days. Spanning two rooms, Herman Schulz is a haven of cozy nooks that invite you to linger with a good book or, when with friends, play one of the games from their collection.

Just like at your grandmother’s, you’re welcome any time of day: for a quick bite at lunch, an afternoon coffee, or for a drink in the evening. But more than just a cafe and bar, Herman Schulz is also a collective that hosts a variety of events, such as chess nights on Wednesdays, live music on weekends, movie screenings and book readings. They're always open to new ideas and projects, providing a space for anyone eager to showcase their work.

In the warmer months, the terrace offers the perfect spot for writing or people-watching. And when winter rolls in, there's nothing cosier than sitting by the fireplace with a glass of red wine while, with a bit of luck, someone plays the piano. At Herman Schulz, you're not just a customer - you’re a guest in their open living room.
