Kauf Dich Glücklich Café & Mehr — Restaurant in Berlin

During our recent visit to a charming café in Berlin, which happened to be at its closing time, we were greeted with an exceptional level of hospitality that truly set this place apart. Despite being the last visitors, the personnel displayed an admirable level of respect and cleanliness. Their patience and understanding were particularly noticeable as they interacted with our small child, accommodating our various requests with a grace seldom encountered in the bustling café scene of Berlin. Each request was met with a prompt and courteous response, devoid of the reluctance or annoyance that can sometimes mar such interactions.

When it comes to the culinary offerings, specifically the coffee and ice cream, it’s fair to say that Berlin boasts a plethora of establishments that excel in these areas. In this regard, the café might not stand out— the ice cream lacked the uniqueness one might hope for, and the coffee, while satisfactory, did not surpass expectations. However, what the café may lack in culinary distinction, it more than compensates for with its aesthetic appeal. The cutlery, plates, and overall design of the space were a feast for the eyes. The meticulous attention to detail and the evident taste of the owner in curating such an environment deserve commendation. This café prioritizes ambiance and visual appeal, perhaps more so than the gastronomic experience.

The design of the café, though, warrants a nuanced critique. While the space is undeniably filled with beautiful objects—from furniture to wall art, including an array of posters, engaging magazines, and attractive ceramics for sale—it seems to lack a cohesive theme. The eclectic collection, though individually appealing, falls short of creating a harmonious atmosphere. It feels more like a showcase of beautiful items rather than a thoughtfully designed cohesive space. This approach to design, characterized by its abundance of visually appealing but disparate elements, might resonate with some but does not necessarily cater to a professional design aesthetic that seeks unity and coherence.

Another distinctive aspect of the café is its selection of merchandise, which includes a variety of jewelry and fashion accessories like hair clips and sunglasses, contributing to an ambiance that some might describe as particularly feminine. This choice of decor and merchandise suggests a penchant for beauty and a desire to share that beauty with patrons, albeit without achieving a balanced, impactful visual narrative.

Despite these critiques, my inclination to revisit the café remains strong, driven not by its culinary offerings or design philosophy but by the commendable cleanliness of the space and the politeness of the staff. These aspects of the café experience were truly remarkable and warrant recognition.

In conclusion, while the café may not excel in every dimension—particularly those related to its culinary offerings and the cohesion of its design—it offers a pleasant environment marked by exceptional service and cleanliness. It’s these qualities that inspire my intention to return and support the establishment. I would rate my experience with a solid 4 out of 5 and extend my best wishes to the team for continued success in...

Not the best experience ever. The line to order is messy, the tables were left dirty for a long time, food takes an extremely long time to be ready.

My partner and I were passing by and felt drawn to come inside immediately because the place puts out a very cool and chill vibe. My parter stood up in line to order while I looked for a table to sit. To my surprise, there were around 5 available tables but they still had food leftovers so I just stood standing while someone came out and cleaned them up. I didn’t see any action happening after 10min waiting so I sat in a dirty table. 20 minutes go by and my partner was still in line ordering. Finally after half hour, we get our coffee and sit while we wait for our waffles with egg and ham. I am not joking, ONE HOUR passed and still nothing (and the 5 available tables from early were still dirty and full of wasps). So I asked if our food was almost done and 2 mins later they served us this...

The place is located in a really cute and calm street of Prenzlauer Berg. The cafe is cozy and decorated in Berlin style. They also have a really nice and quite big terrace which is lovely especially on sun days.

I have been there 2 times now and every-time (independently from the time) a lot of things from the menu are not available. The staff isn’t great either.

(On a non busy day) We set down at a table full of dirty cups, and after 10 minutes that we were sitting they came to collect the used cups from the clients before us, but didn’t mind about disinfecting nor cleaning, the table, which is mandatory in this coronavirus times. The sugar was open and placed on the table, totally not hygienic.

It’s a nice place, but I won’t be back there until coronavirus is over since they do not take enough...
