During your short break in Berlin, you’ll want to have a really good time. A relaxed breakfast is simply part of this. You get a free muesli breakfast when you stay with us at EastSeven Hostel Berlin. But for a comprehensive selection of ingredients for your break in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg, you should visit one of the cafés near us. Here is a selection of the eight best places in our immediate vicinity where you can enjoy a leisurely breakfast.
Impala Coffee
Impala Coffee is just a few steps away from EastSeven. Since the first location was founded in 2003 in Pappelallee, it has grown into a chain with four locations. In Schönhauser Allee, this is a cozy corner bar that is furnished in an urban style. One of Impala Coffee’s distinguishing features is that it runs its own coffee roastery and even offers its own coffee variety, African Queen. Although the espresso is strong, it has a low acidity level. You would be hard pressed to find a better coffee in the capital. You can also enjoy various cakes and pastries as well as savory dishes such as sandwiches. And if you don’t drink coffee, you can enjoy a fresh juice with it. Impala Coffee also strives to produce as little waste as possible. To this end, the managers buy unpackaged food and use the RECUP reusable cup system. If you order a coffee to go, you pay a 1 euro deposit, which you get back when you return it. Address: Schönhauser Allee 173 Opening hours: Monday to Friday: 7 am to 6 pm, Saturday & Sunday: 8 am to 6 pm

Erchy’s
It’s a ten-minute walk from EastSeven to Erchy’s, where you can treat yourself to a delicious breakfast. The interior is characterized by lots of plants. So if you like being surrounded by greenery, this restaurant is a good choice for your breakfast. The owner has Turkish-German roots, which is why she has designed the interior in an oriental style. Among other things, you can order a homemade cake and a cappuccino, which is made with Oatmilk on request. You will also find a grilled cheese sandwich and homemade granola on the small but delicious menu. Another highlight is the oriental specialty shakshuka.
