Oslo Kaffebar — Restaurant in Berlin

EDIT: Reduced my rating to 1 star because they still shamelessly hire people who only speak English, and don't care about respecting the fact that they are actually still in Germany. They also took away the one table that was available for laptops, even though 80% of the space was already laptop-free. Hipster attitude in a hipster place, and zero flexibility or desire to adapt. Stay away.

Coffee and snacks are yummy, and I do appreciate the vegan selection. However, the staff is young and rather inexperienced. What's more, they only speak English, which feels a bit lacking in respect to the local culture. Don't get me wrong, I am from an immigrant, only part-German background myself and also spent most of my life in international settings speaking English. But to not have even one member of staff that speaks German feels lacking in consideration. You wouldn't hire a team who doesn't speak the local language in a cafe in France, or Switzerland or... anywhere else. There's a fine line between being international (which Berlin has always been, far before this place opened, and always will be) vs. understanding and respecting basic parameters of...

We were 2 families with 2 kids (7 persons in total) and when we entered this Cafe, we've found that there is no place for such big group of people. We went out and were staying outside with ideas where to go next, but very surprisingly for each of us one guy (which is working there) came to us outside and said that he will try to find a place for us. He tried to convince one pair of people to change their table so we will be able to combine two tables and sit together, but unfortunately they didn't accept that and this guy found for us another place which was marked as "stuff only"! This is the thing which we are really missing in Berlin - not just to make a business and count tourists, but also to be HUMANS! Unfortunately I don't know the name of this guy, but THANK YOU SO MUCH and please keep going further! 2 families are wishing you and your business all the best! P.S. coffee, chai and cookies/cakes...

One of the neighbourhood cafes in Berlin - a great place to drink speciality coffee and spend time with a book, .

A choice of two espresso roasts, one their one the other a guest, and two choices of filter on batch brew, again a house roast and a guest. The guest roasts tend to come from Scandinavia (but the place is called Oslo) but I've seen roasters from Japan, the UK and Spain there on my weekly visits.

Home-baked vegan cakes, pastries from Albatross and honestly, the best cookies in Berlin. Probably the best cookies in all of Germany.

What they don't do is breakfast - no cress and freshly chopped parsley sprinkled delicately on perfect poached eggs that are sat towering on a thickly cut, lightly toasted piece of sour dough, and certainly no bacon sandwiches, but you don't need that. You need...
