Bonanza Coffee Roasters Gendarmenmarkt

Bonanza near Gendarmenmarkt: espresso and filter from its own Kreuzberg roastery, beans to take home.

On Jägerstraße, near Gendarmenmarkt, Bonanza runs one of its four Berlin cafés. Bonanza was founded in 2006 by Yumi Choi and Kiduk Reus on Oderberger Straße, when Berlin had hardly any specialty coffee. The two had met in Rotterdam; Choi had studied art, and Reus worked as a designer and filmmaker.

Today the team roasts its own coffee, in the courtyard on Adalbertstraße in Kreuzberg, and ships beans across Europe. They serve espresso, milk coffee and filter from the house roast, such as Gogogu from Ethiopia or Almibar from Colombia. You can take the beans home too.
