Barcomi's

The best cake and coffee in Kreuzberg

Popular plate: With an American owner, they know exactly how New York Cheesecake should be.

Tipple of choice: The Indian Monsooned Malabar coffee is quite special.

Bergmannstraße is one long, leafy street of cafes, bars, thrift shops, Turkish mini-markets and curio shops, so a roast house like Barcomi's fits right in. It's a busy little place, especially in the mornings when Kreuzberg's finest queue for their daily caffeine fix, but come a bit later and you'll have no problem finding a table at which to sit with a Tasse coffee and a slice of lemon meringue tarte.

The owner is American, so expect a sumptuous array of cakes and treats, like Marble Cake, Raspberry Ganache or Apple Walnut Caramel Cake, perfect washed down with their superior quality of coffee.
