I went for a walk and I randomly found this little lovely old cafe. I am soooo happy about it! The waiter was very gentle and he kindly explained me something about the story of the place. Almost 170 years of passion and family secret recipes accordingly to the traditional cousine of Germany I can affirm that the cake was super good. I’ll be back to try the chocolate mousse cake

I went out of my way to have afternoon cafe and kuchen here, and was not disappointed—probably the best piece of cake I've ever had! The cafe is simple and authentic, a nice patio in a beautiful neighbourhood.

I am visiting Berlin from the states and happened into this Café near my hotel, getting a slice of their Passionfruit cake to take away. It was simply sensational. Elegant, flavorful, balanced and tasty! Highly recommend!

Very delicious cakes. The Konditorei has made a name for its Baumkuchen, so definitely worth a try. The interior design is very warm and welcoming, feels like sitting in your grandma’s living room. The place gets very crowded though, you may need to have some patience to get seated.
