One shop, two floors, a backyard
Downstairs you grab the coffee to go. Upstairs you sit down and stay. In between, a staircase on which you can still decide whether to take another Berliner.
Ground floor
Counter, display, coffee machine. This is the fast lane: order, pay, out to the balloon or up to the first floor. A few seats by the window and outside the door.
First floor
Upstairs is the quiet part. Tables, Wi-Fi, a view of Wilhelmstraße. For the laptop, the city map or just a break after the checkpoint.
Terrace at the back
Behind the building a few tables in the green, away from traffic. The best spot when the weather is good.
- Free Wi-Fi
- Toilets for guests
- Card and cash
- Vegan bratwurst, oat and soy milk
- English-speaking team
The balloon is next door
The Weltballon rises at the corner of Zimmerstraße and Wilhelmstraße, and that is exactly where we are. Checkpoint Charlie, the Topography of Terror, the Trabi Museum and the asisi Panorama are all within a five-minute walk. We have written down what is worth seeing where.
What comes up most often in the reviews: a friendly team that speaks English, fair prices for the location, seating inside and out. And when the balloon has just landed, it gets busy for a moment.
