The quest for the perfect coffee bar – Part 1 – Winter

The quest for the perfect coffee started long before Berlin. In Berlin however it has its peak as there are coffee stores everywhere. In very tiny stores local barista try the art of coffee. Of course our search was in our neighborhood. Of course we would not mind taking a detour to get an excellent coffee every day but it should not be too far away. So the search started in Gleimstreet in Berlin, then to Schönhauser Allee, to Torstreet and Rosenthal square. While doing this for some days we tried very interesting ones. First on the list is Impala Coffee Store Pappelallee.





This coffee store is doing its own coffee. You can find in the middle of the store several bags of fresh coffee beans. The coffee is really nice as well, just a little bit too strong. Across the road there is the Manolo which is impressive as it has a nice French touch.








The employees are not really friendly and they do not give any personal touch to the place. The coffee is okay, nothing special. On a Saturday walking around a bit longer we found Sankt Oberholz. Really busy place, still very cozy and cool.








The coffee as well as the flair received highest score. However the way to get there is too long for daily pleasure. That is why the Balzac at the Schönhauser Allee became our daily coffee store. The distance was perfect from our apartment in the Gleimstreet and to the local transportation. The staff is very friendly, relaxed atmosphere and very good coffee.







And after sometime all the barista got used to pouring my latte into my Starbucks cup so that it stayed warm, I did not need to waste a paper cup and the coffee did not taste like the paper it was served in normally.
