Corner spot on Paul-Lincke-Ufer, where Kreuzberg almost feels Mediterranean.

The croissants rank among the city's best — classic or topped with beetroot and goat's cheese. The Jambon Beurre on baguette is the benchmark at the counter, alongside quiches, Kouign Amann and rotating pastries. Coffee comes in nostalgic onion-pattern porcelain, the space deliberately left raw. Outside, a large terrace overlooking the canal, right next to the pétanque court.
