Zur alten Backstube — Restaurant in Berlin

Yesterday (Sunday) my wife and I stumbled upon a beautiful café and decided to go in. The atmosphere was warm and cozy, and finding an empty table was rare. After waiting a few minutes, Manuel, a handsome and friendly Guy, took our order. While ordering, I realized that I had forgotten my wallet. I was embarrassed, but Manuel kindly informed us that mobile payment was possible. Unfortunately, I was not able to make the payment via cellphone. As we were leaving the café, Manuel patiently and kindly gave us a piece of paper with banking information for a bank transfer and helped us through the process. His friendly and welcoming attitude was so sincere that we did not feel ashamed or uncomfortable to ask for help, even though we could not speak German fluently.

He then offered a free drink as a courtesy. We ordered coffee and cake, and it was exceptional. As someone who enjoys good coffee, I can confidently say that the coffee at this café was much better than that of the famous Berlin coffee roastery shops. The homemade cake with homemade cream was an artistic masterpiece. The quality of all the components of the cake was exceptional. After reading about the history of the café, which has been run by a family for several generations, you could not have expected anything less.

If you value high-quality ingredients, excellent and delicious products, a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere, and the service, and the café's location is important to you, I highly recommend this café. Thank you, Manuel. We'll...

A wonderful discovery in a hidden outer corner of Berlin's rural outskirts. The last northern stop of M1 tram gets you to Rosenthal where you are welcomed by this cafe with kult potential, at Hauptstr. 155 (Bowie fans alert - it's not in Schoeneberg) in Rosenthal. The cafe has a wonderful nostalgic collection, is open on weekends only and offers bio lemonade and juices s...

Ich war letzte Woche mit meiner Frau zufällig hier in der Ortschaft unterwegs und suchte auf die Schnelle eine Möglichkeit um etwas trinken zu gehen. Anhand der Gegend und dem Namen „zur alten Backstube“ erwarteten wir uns nicht viel, aber was uns geliefert wurde war unglaublich. Vorzufinden war ein historischer Einblick in die Berliner Geschichte, kombiniert mit der wohl nettesten Bedienung die wir je zu Gesicht bekommen haben. Auch war von „alter Backstube“ lediglich die Einrichtung übrig geblieben. Karte via QR Code, Bezahlung mit PayPal, dazu das krasse Kontrastprogramm mit lieblicher Einrichtung und etlichen Erinnerungen aus früheren Zeiten. Hier findet man den perfekten Ort, um einen wirklich originellen Nachmittag zu erleben. Zu allem Glück gab es, da es Sonntag war, sogar noch selbst gebackenen Kuchen. Wohingegen „selbst gebacken“ schon fast eine Untertreibung ist. Das Ganze glich eher einer professionellen Konditorei. Können wir von Herzen wirklich nur weiterempfehlen. Wir freuen uns schon auf unseren nächsten Berlin Trip. Werden wieder zu euch kommen. Danke für die tolle Zeit! Es war uns ein Fest! Liebe Grüße...
