    Foreword

    Each Café has its own atmosphere and its own scent. To capture this, one has to spend time there, not as a regular customer, but as a traveler in a foreign city, who is attracted to a place. It is as if he would find something there that he has subconsciously been looking for.

    This book describes these places, which I discovered as a coffee freak while on many forays through Berlin. Each café has its own story. Some are shaped by the people who work there while others even belong to the history of Berlin.  A visit and the smell of a good cup of coffee brings back memories of those days.

    However, there are also completely new café concepts, such as, the combination café flower shop, café hairdresser or even café bike repair. In Berlin, people are experimenting, and sometimes even reinventing the coffee house. One thing is certain: Berlin cafés are fun! By the way, the guest learns a lot about the city itself.

    1. Ursprung

    Eat, drink, dream on a vertical garden

    The culture store Dussmann has long been a Berlin institution for books, stationery and sound recordings. The house on the Friedrichstrasse in the middle has exceptional opening hours. It is open Monday to Friday until 24.00 o'clock (Saturday to 23:30 o'clock) – which are times that are convenient to many Berliners and tourists. In October 2012, the Dussmann Group opened a café-restaurant here, which features several attractions. The most distinctive is probably the world's largest vertical garden within a building. The French landscape artist Patric Blanc has grown, on a vertical surface of 270 square meters, more than 6,000 tropical plants that are specially watered by a sophisticated system. At the foot of the garden, there is a small lake with 16,200 liters of water containing ornamental fish.

    The establishment of the Café-Restaurant Ursprung (origin) with the extensive greenery and the wooden tables constructed out of a Berlin single core emphasizes the rainforest atmosphere of the restaurant.  It invites the visitor to linger and relax, after rummaging through the books, CDs and records.

    All dishes are freshly prepared in the restaurant. The ingredients come primarily from organic farming. From 11:00 to 15:00 o'clock, a business lunch is served. A special feature is the Afternoon Tea from 16:00-18:00 o'clock, where the guest gets a pot of tea and an Étagère with fruit skewers, cucumber sandwiches, chicken mayonnaise sandwiches and scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam. No wonder that the café-restaurant received the award for Caterer of the Year 2013 in the category: Food Concepts.
