Craving some really good coffee or a sweet snack?
My favourite spot: KAWA!
The family-run roastery is located right at the intersection of Osloer Straße. In the somewhat rough surroundings, which haven’t exactly been blessed with inviting cafes so far, KAWA awaits all caffeine enthusiasts as the area’s hidden gem.
As you step in, the air is filled with the irresistible aroma of freshly roasted coffee. And if you're not in a hurry, why not hang out for a while? There are some cosy seats available.
You'll also find a wide selection of homemade roasted coffee at fair prices, and the owners are not only extremely friendly and helpful but also genuine coffee experts.
So, if you're looking for a cool spot that scores with great coffee and a relaxed atmosphere, then KAWA is your place to be. Treat yourself!
