About the Vibe
tucked along the B96a in Bergfelde, Kleine Auszeit is the kind of place where locals go to slow down. Owner Bettina Kreschnak opened this café with a dream of bringing a touch of Italy to Brandenburg, and you'll feel that warmth the moment you walk in. It's not fancy, but it's genuine—think homemade pastries, solid coffee, and a menu that leans into Mediterranean flavors without trying too hard. Perfect for a mid-morning coffee or a relaxed lunch when you want something real, not touristy.

A Local Escape in Bergfelde
Kleine Auszeit is exactly what Bergfelde needed: a neighborhood café that feels like a proper escape from the daily grind. Owner Bettina Kreschnak, supported by her husband Danny and father Liborio, has created a space that doesn't try to be anything other than what it is—a warm, welcoming spot where you can actually take a breath. The Mediterranean influence comes through in the menu, which features solid Italian-inspired dishes alongside classic café fare. It's not Michelin-level, but it's honest cooking done with care.
The coffee is reliably strong, the pastries taste homemade, and the staff clearly take pride in what they do. You'll find regulars here, which is always a good sign. It's the kind of place where you can grab a quick espresso on your way to work or linger over a long lunch with friends. The atmosphere is unpretentious and comfortable—no need to dress up, just show up and enjoy the moment.
If you're looking for something special in the Hohen Neuendorf area, this is it. It's not going to blow your mind, but it will make your day a little better. That's what a good local café should do.
