A great spot for a scrumptious breakfast, robust cortados, or an evening beer is Fuchsbau, right off the Landwehrkanal in kreuzberg. The service isn’t the warmest, but you can sit outside undisturbed for hours drinking their fine brew. The menu is divine, offering fresh salads and sandwiches perfectly prepared. Evenings get pretty crowded at this beloved neighborhood watering hole, but thete’s always enough space for juuuuuuust one more.
Fuchsbau. Planufer 93, Kreuzberg.
Pull up a reading chair and recline in the sun at Goldmarie, a stylish and relaxing kiez-cafe near the number one Sunday chill spot, Admiralbrücke.
Goldmarie offers toasted bagels packed with dried tomatoes and olives, plus creamy and cool iced lattes. Location is prime for hanging out on a warm afternoon or winding down the evening with a quiet drink.
If the weather isn’t cooperating, don’t worry. The soothing golden lights and vanilla floral decals will charm you in the cafe’s interior.
Goldmarie. Grimmstrasse 29 on the corner of Böckhstrasse, Kreuzberg.
Your world turns upside down while admiring the furniture glued to the ceiling in Madame Claude’s gravity-defying bar. Silverware, umbrellas, wooden chairs, and kitchen sinks dangle from above, making you want to do a handstand to set it all upright.
Stop by for a drink and friendly atmosphere, but don’t expect much from the music. The bar has strict orders from the neighborhood to keep the noise down. So much for keeping your arse over the tea kettle.
Madame Claude’s. Lubbenerstr. 19, Kreuzberg.
