Café Intimes is a charming spot on lively Boxhagener Straße that perfectly blends café culture with Mediterranean flavors. The breakfast menu is a standout, with film-themed names like "Tiffany's" and "Metropolis" that pay homage to the historic Kino Intimes right next door. While the brunch scene is solid, don't sleep on their creative flammkuchen and vegan options either.
Film-themed breakfasts in cozy Friedrichshain
Café Intimes has carved out a nice niche on Boxhagener Straße, offering a warm respite from the bustling Friedrichshain street life. The breakfast menu is the real draw here, with creative variations named after classic films—a clever nod to the historic Kino Intimes cinema next door. You'll find everything from the simple "Tiffany's" with croissant and coffee to hearty options like "Mr. Bean" with bacon and baked beans. The Mediterranean-influenced lunch menu features solid flammkuchen and burgers, though the breakfast is where they truly shine.
The atmosphere is cozy without being pretentious, making it a reliable spot for a leisurely morning coffee or a casual lunch with friends. Service is friendly, and the vegan options show they're keeping up with Berlin's dietary trends. It's not groundbreaking, but it's exactly the kind of neighborhood café that makes Friedrichshain feel like home.
