Silo Coffee sits a stone's throw from Boxhagener Platz, where Friedrichshain is at its most dense.

Coffee is roasted in-house, and the flat white ranks among the best in the city. Breakfast runs to the Australian version with egg and avocado, plus Dutch baby pancakes from a cast-iron pan, finished with mascarpone and maple syrup. Weekends bring a queue at the door — stopping by just for coffee, you can skip it.
