Mamecha Berlin

Japanese lunch & tea in Mitte

""Mamecha" could be one of the most authentic yet affordable Japanese food places in Berlin. You can even order its tea & cakes online!"

Anyone who wants to go beyond sushi will find that there is a variety of authentic Japanese food in Berlin. Maybe one of the most authentic and yet affordable places is Mamecha: A cute café with lunch and many dessert options. Their exquisite tea comes from the adjacent tea store in which the team of Mamecha also sells Japanese ceramics and stationery.

I personally cannot get enough of Mamecha because of their sweet treats: Mille Crepe Cake with seasonal fruit and Matcha Chiffon Cake are among my favorites. But I also tasted very fine creations with pumpkin or sweet potato. For everyone who craves savory - you will find Berlin's best Japanese curry (optionally, also vegetarian, which is even rarer) and amazing bento boxes during Mamecha's lunch hours (until 3 pm or sold out). You almost always have to queue and wait to catch a free table but you will certainly not regret it.

For an authentic taste of Japan, you can also order their cakes and teas online. Or simply catch Mamecha in their short opening hours to dive into the busy, warm atmosphere of this one-of-a-kind café.

The Sanctuary Berlin

The Sanctuary – Vegan Italian Bakery

I am a big fan of their pistachio maritozzo which is a soft Roman bun filled with cream and topped with crushed pistachios. It's absolutely amazing, and not overwhelmingly sweet.

Macondo Berlin

Macondo – Creative Latin Cafébar in Friedrichshain

One word to describe Macondo? Bustling! It's not the place if you need a quiet space to work, but it's nice if you want to have it all: work, play, wine, and coffee.

The Berlin Art Market Berlin

The Berlin Art Market – Buy Local in Berlin

I suggest stopping by the Berlin Art Market by the Zeughaus to pick up a locally created art piece. Since the market is located in the center of Museum Island it's easy to reach.
