Brunch > the dawn — Restaurant in Berlin

Great location with nice view to the Zoo and the area around. Just if you want to have breakfast is probable that you will finish having lunch. The service is extremely slow. It took more than 50min to get the order. So is more to come chill but not if you want to do something after. The atmosphere is nice, good music, relax people, no kids running around, so cool chilled vibes. A big terrace and also inside tables if it rains.

The food is well served, good portions and the taste is good. The coffee is ok too, they have a wide variety of coffee hot and cold for the summer. ( the coffee is fast, you can taste 3 coffees while you wait the food, they also have cocktails, just in case).

I will say that they need to check what happens in this kitchen with the speed of the service, maybe they need to reorganize , because the menu is quite streamlined to have this long waiting times.

Anyhow staff is very friendly when you arrive, then a bit less friendly when you go, maybe because is impossible at some point to ask if they didn’t forget your order. Would say may be difficult to deal with hungry clients and a slow kitchen. But keep up with the nice attitude it somehow compensates part of the speed. The 3 stars in service are 100% related to the speed of the dishes.

Nice place, try it if you want to kill some time or want to have a long conversation...

"I visited the café and ordered pancakes and cinnamon rolls. After that, I requested my coffee to be served in a paper cup as I prefer drinking it that way. However, the waiter brought it in a glass cup instead. When I politely asked for a paper cup, he told me it’s only for outdoor seating. I explained that I had been served coffee in a paper cup indoors just a few days ago, but he still refused. I then asked to cancel the coffee, and his response was dismissive. When I said I couldn’t enjoy my pancakes without coffee and requested to cancel the whole order, he responded in the same manner. His behavior was rude and unprofessional, which made the experience unpleasant."

Update:

Hello,

Thank you for your sincere apology and the invitation to visit the café again. I appreciate your willingness to address the situation. I would love to accept your invitation, and I would also like the opportunity to meet you in person when I visit.

I really enjoy the atmosphere of your café, and I am a regular customer along with my friends, and we always have a great time during our visits.

Please let me know a convenient time for us to meet.

Best...

If you’re looking for a place where your morning starts with a wow effect, The Dawn is the perfect choice! It’s not just a restaurant; it’s a true aesthetic experience of taste and atmosphere. ✨

I ordered the Egg Benedict, and it was magical! The perfectly soft bread, combined with creamy avocado and black caviar, created a true culinary delight. Topped with an airy hollandaise sauce – the perfect breakfast!

The shrimp salad was incredibly juicy and fresh, and for dessert, we had pancakes with pistachio cream – an absolutely delicious way to end our brunch! 🤤

✨ The service was outstanding! The staff was very attentive, always nearby if you needed anything. Drinks arrived quickly, and every dish was presented with great care.

💛 The atmosphere here is truly special – light, stylish interior and, of course, huge panoramic windows overlooking the greenery and even a few animals from the Berlin Zoo. If you want to start your day beautifully, this is the place to be! I 100%...
