Four of us visited for brunch on a Thursday morning. We didn't have a reservation but the place was quiet and things started off well as a friendly gentleman showed us to a table and shortly after a waitress came and took our orders. All absolutely fine.
Problems started when the cloudy weather turned to intense sun rather quickly and we asked if we could move to a table in the shade (it was empty) We were told no as there were parasols around us that needed to be opened. That's absolutely fine too. My husband went to open one up and was shouted at to leave it. I believe that if someone is trying to be helpful but you don't want that help, the correct answer is "thank you but I'll take care of it" The waitress and another guy came over and were making a real drama out of opening a parasol and saying the reason they didn't want us to open it is that they don't have insurance (?!) Not sure if it was a dry joke but it's a bit weird to risk your employer's reputation like that. Anyway, they were really struggling to get the parasol up and it wouldn't have covered our table in any case so we said, nicely, please don't worry about this one as it won't help is anyway, but would you be able to open the other parasol that will cover the table? The waitress then got nasty quite quickly shouting "Wow, you're dying in the sun after just one minute?" We can all take a joke but this wasn't one, it was just rude and unnecessary. My husband has had skin cancer so yes actually, the sun could literally kill him. Maybe she needs to consider why people might not want to sit in direct sunlight instead of making unfunny/sarcastic wise cracks.
A few minutes later, she returns and tells us not to be mad at her (sorry, you don't get to tell people how to feel after your bad behaviour) and that she could feel the vibe had changed. Yes, the vibe changed because you were rude and aggressive and a bit of a bully. If you want to diffuse the bad energy that you created - apologise. We would have all moved on and forgot it if you could have just said sorry for my rudeness but no.
The food was delivered quickly and was good (if too much and a little overpriced) and the coffee was great.
The gentleman that saw us to our table and eventually took over serving us was good at his job and kind so I feel bad leaving a negative review but the waitress and her nasty attitude ruined it for us. €140 euros for brunch X4 and coffees isn't cheap but we'd be happy to pay it if the experience was positive. It wasn't. There are better...

I booked Easter brunch here on the recommendation of a friend. We were 3 adults, myself (9 months pregnant), my mother and my husband, and my 3 year old daughter. Upon arriving my 3 year old started mixing the sugar and salt that was on the table. We of course told her to stop and immediately removed the mixed sugar and salt from the canister. We were then given 3 food menus and one drink menu. My daughter took possession of the drink menu because it was the ‘small one’. When our waiter arrived to the table he did not say something appropriate such as ‘happy Easter’ or ‘hello and welcome’ or ‘how are you doing today?’ Instead he came in a huff to our table and reprimanded our daughter for mixing the salt and sugar. He told us it was ‘very expensive’. We removed it from the table and then tried to politely ignore the comment and proceeded to ask for 2 more drink menus (we were 4 people with only one drink menu). He said ‘but you already have one’ and then went to reach to snatch it from my 3 year old. My husband grabbed his arm to stop him and he replied ‘don’t touch me.’ I pleaded with him to please just give us 2 more drink menus, that we just wanted to have a nice Easter. My husband then had a few choice words for him and he (the waiter) went storming off to his manager. I (9 months pregnant), got up to speak with the manager, and the manager then told us that we had to leave, which we gladly did. We then came back to Pberg and went to eat at Benedict restaurant, where the people are lovely and we had a delicious meal.
In summary, do not come here, especially as a family, especially with children. I can’t speak for the food or drink as we didn’t have any, but any place where they treat a 9 month pregnant woman, a 3 year old and her 72 year old mother like this is a disgrace. These people should not be working in a service industry. I know that people in Berlin are often rude (having lived here for 6 years) but this was...
Read moreAt first I liked the atmosphere of the place. Modern and with more room than the other Restaurant they have in Berlin.
I don’t mind more expensive restaurants but the price-performance ratio at this place is a bit on the overpriced side.
What I loved: I loved the chicken 3000, chicken waffles dish. It was well put together and the sauce in combination with the waffles and chicken was perfekt. It was 20€ which is ok for what you get. But a bit overpriced.
The cappuccino I ordered was also great. A little on the light side but I liked it.
I also enjoyed tasting the pea falafel dish my girlfriend had for 16€.
What I hated: we also ordered the bread pudding for 11,50€. When the dish arrived it looked nice but tasted quite bad. Nobody really liked it. There was also no pudding. I thought the combination of the dish was awful. The only thing that was ok we’re the cherries on the dish. For me nothing fit together well. It was one of the worst desserts I had in Berlin. This was absolutely not worth the money
The service was nice at first but a bit inattentive. Once the waiter came up to us totally interrupting our conversation and asking us if we needed something else. Otherwise he was friendly. Compared to other less priced breakfast restaurant it was the...
