Mühlenbäck — Restaurant in Berlin

Be careful! Few years ago, this Café was one of my favourites. Friendly staff, fair prices and fairly good food. Plus a super cosy atmosphere for reading. I haven't been there for more than a year, since 2 weeks ago. During this time, I have been there twice and suspiciously been given less change after receiving my product.

Wide variety of pastries, bread, cakes, snacks, etc. Also, full breakfast options, all at very reasonable prices. Minus: they tend to run out of the most popular items and the staff is mostly unfriendly (except for the very nice/fierce lady who is always rocking a hot red lipstick and stylish hairstyle....
