This picturesque cafe is the kind of spot that will catch your eye.

The interior plays with material mixing, which showcased by its wooden tables, slate tops, and fresh flowers.

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.
