My censoring system broke down. You know that little guy in your head who watches everything you say? Makes sure you don't make a mistake? He went for a cup of coffee, and in that second ruined my life

Last week we went to Berlin to chill out during the bank holiday. One thing missing during previous meetings was getting a taste on the coffee scene in Berlin, checking new independent places and how the city is doing with the Third Wave of Coffee.
A small cafe on Hausvogteiplatz in Mitte. Some savory and sweet treats, and a couple tables outside.

Cappuccino nice, a bit mild the coffee, marzipan croissant was really good, latte art work in progress. The weakest of all the coffee cups we had during our trip.

An organic coffee and juice bar pop up in the bikini berlin mall beside the zoo in Charlottenburg. The anecdote of the place was getting a glimpse of the mandrills while tasting our brew beverage.

Strong coffee, perfect bitterness, no latte art and some issues with the froth on the milk but apart from that quite good coffee. You can also have fresh pressed and blended juices.

Coffee roasters that also have a coffee shop with a raw retro look, a beautiful Spirit espresso machine, and some irreverent touches in Prenzlauer Berg. The place is perfectly located to drop by before going to the Flohmarkt in Mauerpark.

The place is some sort of industrial meets a relax hippie place in Mitte. We spotted an intellectual corner with a nice sofa and a small bookcase filled with some arts and novel books that we couldn't resist.

We got a couple flat whites. The coffee was extremely good, it was creamy with sweet notes, a bit stronger than the others we tried but still a bit mild for me. Spot on latte art
