Berlin is a great city for finding out what the German Kaffe und Kuchen (coffee and cake) tradition is all about. Most of the countless cafes in the German capital serve home-baked cakes along with their exquisite coffee. Typical German coffee blends have less arabica beans, so coffee fans will quickly notice that German coffee is thinner and more bitter than the Italian blends, for example, but that’s exactly what makes for its unique taste. Most cafes also serve food, beer, and feature various kinds of music, so regardless of the time of day, you can take moment to relax in Berlin, drinking a coffee, eating or simply hanging out with friends.
