Berlin is a favorite city of ours. From its powerful history to the creative energy that's birthing a new sense of entrepreneurialism and expression, it's a must-visit. Here are some of our favorite spots with links to help plan your next trip.
EAT:
Breakfast : Roamers (pictured) - Amazing piece of hip and rustic California in East Berlin. Fresh-made juices and smoothies alongside fantastic coffee and food. Get the avocado toast and save room for the carrot cake. Make sure to get there early as there is always a queue. Pannierstraße 64, 12043 Berlin, Germany
Lunch : Sanabel - Arguably the best falafel and schrawrma in Berlin. It is at least our favorite. Get the schwarma halumi wrap and a yogurt drink, sit outside and enjoy the great people watching along the picnic tables. Schlesische Str. 36, 10997 Berlin, Germany
Dinner : Caligari - Nothing is better than a small intimate Italian spot serving up amazing homemade pastas and fantastic bottles of wine. If you are not a German speaker just know that most of the conversation and menu are in German, but worry not: you will be able to sort your way through and the energetic hospitality will fit you right in. Kienitzer Str. 110, 12049 Berlin, Germany
DRINK:
Coffee : Nano Kaffee - Tiny coffee shop serving some of the best coffee in Berlin, alongside some a fantastic pastry selection (get the brownie with sea salt.) They roast their own beans so you can pick up a fresh bag to take home with you. Dresdener Str. 14, 10999 Berlin, Germany
Afternoon Cocktail : Have a beer in Templehof Park. Stop by one of the small local markets and grab a couple of cold beers. Then walk to the abandoned airfield turned park, take a seat and enjoy the sun or walk through the community gardens.
Night Out : Twinpigs (pictured) - Great cocktails, great playlists and low lighting are always a formula for a great bar. Twinpigs hits all of these with a familiar vibe that makes you feel at home and a crowd that represents the best of Berlin. Try a Vodka Tonic with Twinpigs' own Brown Tonic and vodka from the local distillery Our/Berlin. Boddinstraße 57a, 12053 Berlin, Germany
SLEEP:
Michelberger Hotel - Hip hotel situated centrally between all the must-see neighborhoods. The hotel has welcoming staff, a wonderful lobby bar, and a great breakfast (need anything else?). They even make their own coconut water and spirits. Pick your price with rooms that range from cozy to spacious, with the Loft Room (pictured) our personal favorite. 40, Warschauer Str. 39, 10243 Berlin, Germany
