It was my first visit at Katie's Blue Cat which is not only extravagant by its name but also by it retro-hipsterish style and atmosphere. It was busy and altogether 3 guys (staff) served the visitors behind the bar. The choice of café is good and the café also tastes good! They offer a wide choice of cakes, of which we tried the carrot cake and the peanut butter - chocolate cake. The carrot cake was good, however nothing outstanding.

The place is small and cozy with true culinary masterpieces produced by owners Ngoc Duong and Olivia Wood. A simple recipe for their success is the true passion for the trade. I could easily take another trip to Berlin just to sit in front of their cafe and enjoy their coffee, pastries, and serenity of the neighborhood. The coffee beans are thoroughly selected and recipes adapted to ingredients in season. Warmly...
