Simitdchi

Kreuzberg has one of the highest Turkish populations, giving it the nickname ‘Little Istanbul.’Though Turkey isn’t really known for its breakfast, Simitdchi serves up an authentic Turkish breakfast that is praise-worthy. Their bakery is constantly producing fresh treats and carb heavy favorites, all of which are piping hot and ready to eat, with the sesame rings as a particular favorite. The prices here are great as well, so it would be a shame to miss out on this unconventional breakfast place.

Kremanski is a cafe tucked away from the bustling center of Kotti — the U-bahn flitters in the background and people noisily roam the streets while this stunning cafe hides in plain sight. The interior is perfect for Instagram; the design is industrial meets refined garage sale, complete with antique chairs, massive chalkboards and exposed piping that transform this space into an aesthetic reprieve. This is the perfect spot to post up for some wifi and great coffee. The food here is as tasty as it is beautifully plated. Massive glass windows let passersby take a peek before they stop in for some food and coffee.
