Directions

A beloved German-inspired café in the Oost neighborhood named after Bertolt Brecht, with a literary and artistic atmosphere, mismatched vintage furniture, and a relaxed all-day vibe. The coffee is solid, the homemade cakes are excellent, and the shaded garden terrace is one of the city's best-kept secrets. It's a true neighborhood hangout — expect locals reading, working, or lingering over long lunches.
