Five Elephant Kollwitz — Restaurant in Berlin

Five Elephants caught our attention because of their legendary cheesecake, a siren for any cheesecake enthusiasts like ourselves. While the cheesecake itself wasn't quite the revelation we were hoping for, the overall experience was delightful.

Let's start with the cheesecake. The cheese flavor was undeniably strong, but the texture was a bit too soft for our preference. We enjoy a denser, creamier cheesecake experience. However, the thick biscuit base packed with a robust butter flavor won back some points! The only issue - it crumbled a little too easily.

She said she couldn’t do it anymore and i asked why, since she did it before. Apparently the owners don’t ALLOW iced matcha to be done, i don’t know why but it sounds really snobby to me. I left without anything since it was a hot day and i really didn’t want a warm drink. i was really seeing myself sitting there drinking an iced matcha every day for the rest of the summer since i live closeby and i didn’t have a good iced matcha anywhere near where i also liked the outside seating....
