No-frills coffee and cult cakes by Görlitzer Park
If you're wandering near Görlitzer Park and need a proper coffee, Kaffeeladen Görlitzer Bahnhof is the spot. It's a small, no-frills café that takes its coffee seriously — they use their own direct-trade "Görlitzer Bahnhof Espresso Blend" and sell beans by the bag if you want to take the experience home. The espresso is consistently good, and the staff actually knows what they're doing behind the machine.
But let's be honest: half the people who come here are here for the cakes. They're all homemade, and the avocado cheesecake is the one that gets talked about — it sounds weird, but it works, and regulars swear by it. The display case rotates, so there's usually something new to try alongside the classics.
