The food and service here is terrible! Yesterday I came for a coffee when it was busy. I'm 3 people away from the counter and the guy is yelling at me for my order over the machine. I, confused, tell it to him. He turns back to the machine before I'm finished so I go up to specify the milk I want. He signs loudly at me for being difficult. I get to the counter to pay and the girl looks at me blankly (why do they make us order twice!?) The next day, I go back to see if it's any better. I went to the counter, looking at the food, then moved to go look in the other fridge near the door and I hear the staff yell BYE in the most ignorant way as they thought I was walking out. I then decided to get the aubergine-tomato sandwich which turned out to not have any tomato in it. When I asked why the sign says it does, they just said no and took the sign away. So I get my sandwich and am shuffled on quickly but I ask for it to be heated up. The guy yells at me to 'obviously' go ask the kitchen. My food comes back cold still so I eat my awful aubergine and alfalfa (these 2 things don't go together!?) sandwich and leave. Never going back to that place.

Read moreThis is one of my absolute favorite coffee shops in Berlin! The staff is always so friendly, and the quality of everything they serve is consistently amazing.
Their brownie is my favorite—I consider myself a brownie expert, and this is hands down the best one I’ve had in Berlin. The quality is always top-notch. Coffee and matcha are always tasty!
I love their loyalty card system—you collect stamps for each coffee and eventually get one free. The location is also perfect, right across from the student library, which is a huge bonus for me.
My go-to dish is the Caesar Roll, and I love that they offer vegan and vegetarian options, as well as different plant-based milk. They really care about their guests, with thoughtful touches like a table stocked with honey, agave, and utensils for takeout.
The only downside for me is that the café itself doesn’t feel very cozy. It’s often quite noisy because there are so many students, and the tables and chairs aren’t particularly comfortable.
It’s my favorite spot, and I always look forward to...
Read moreStopped in at Pure Origins Estate Coffee and left genuinely impressed. My flat white was silky and balanced, with a honey-sweet crema and a gentle cocoa finish—no bitterness, just clean, layered flavor that shows real care in the extraction. Milk texture was spot-on and the latte art was picture-perfect.
The team is friendly, fast, and happy to chat about beans and brew methods. The space is bright and relaxed, with plenty of seating (including a comfy outdoor area) that makes it easy to linger with a pastry. Prices are fair for the quality, and there are good dairy-free options too.
If you’re anywhere nearby, make this your coffee stop. Pure Origins turns a quick caffeine run into a small ritual—consistently excellent coffee, warm service, and a...
