Five Elephant Kreuzberg

Roastery and original location on Reichenberger Straße — direct-trade beans, split espresso and brew bar, Berlin's most-cited Käsekuchen.

Five Elephant is the roastery and original location on Reichenberger Straße, with in-house roasting and direct-trade beans from Äthiopien, Kenya and Guatemala.

At the counter the order splits across two bars: espresso on the left for flat whites and cortados, the brew bar on the right for filter coffee in rotating single-origins, poured by hand. The Käsekuchen is the second axis and lands on every serious Berlin best-of list — dense New-York school, tall edge. Wooden tables, old maps, workshop feel of the roastery worn openly. Beans and brewing kit travel home from the counter.
