I thought it was a coincidence, but for the third time in a row, they've served me barely warm batch brew here, which turns cold within 3 minutes. It's very strange and leaves a big disappointment. The first time, I thought it was a fluke. It was clear that they were pouring from leftovers. The second time, the same story, but I decided to mention that the coffee was cold. They offered to heat it up, and I agreed. As far as I understood, they heated it using steam, a steamer from the coffee machine. Need I say, there's no taste left in filter coffee after such a procedure. The drink was objectively ruined completely. I want to remind you that this was suggested by the barista themselves. Well, today I decided to give this coffee shop another chance. Again, I was served practically cold coffee, as if that's how it should be. I'm very disappointed. The coffee itself is good; obviously, the guys here know how to roast coffee well, but how can they serve batch brew cold, I can't understand. I don't know, maybe I'm just unlucky and I always end up with coffee leftovers that have already gone cold. But in that case, I believe they should tell me that either the filter coffee is finished or offer to wait for a fresh batch. Maybe the guys' thermos is broken, and it doesn't maintain the temperature. But in that case, something should be done, especially since I've complained about cold coffee once before, so the people in the coffee shop should definitely be aware of this. In general, the disappointment is quite strong; otherwise, I wouldn't have written such an extensive review. I don't know if I'll ever come back here. Maybe yes, but I'll immediately inquire if their Batch brew is still hot. I really hope the guys...
Read moreThis is a great place to experience specialty coffee in Berlin. Since I prefer single origin pour-over, v60 or chemex, I wandered a bit to find some 3rd waves like this shop. ceramic sets were awesome and handy. plus it matches with their urban atmosphere.
The downfall though was its space. Despite their minimalistic interior, probably not the warm and cozy atmosphere you expect for rest. I def can imagine better business even with some space arrangement.
additionally, the price range was okey considering the location and quality of roasting. however, I’d recommend to give better info, including the price for those who wants to try specialty coffee inside the shop.
Thank you Salem with wonderful service and warm welcome. It was rare to find such hospitality during my short visit. & will def visit this place...
Read moreTasty breakfast, average coffee, reasonable price. Service was initially cold and impatient. Nearby street parking is available, but difficult.
You order at the counter and they bring out the food. The croissant and avacado-salmon was excellent. However, the cappuccino and Americano though robust, lacked complexity. The cashier was cold and a bit impatient at first, but slowly softened at the end. The dining room tables had crumbs on them even though there were only two tables occupied and three employees. The person who brought the food out to us never smiled or talked to us.
When we left, I'd thank them for a nice meal. The cashier nodded to me, and the waiter totally ignored me and walked by.
