The "lokal Milieu" crowd is always a wild bag, echt Berlin with raver deviants sandwiched next to loud Soho NYC startup goths and straight-laced muttis, and there's usually 2 or 3 cute dogs running around in there which you can sometimes pet on the sly. It's the 10997 kiez, embodied in a shop. I still have fantasies of spinning an ambient breakfast set there every Friday morning - Passenger, if you're reading this and that sounds...
