What a Treat Breakfast

What a Treat Breakfast: When Kreuzberg Wakes Up in the Morning

What a Treat is a small café in Kreuzberg’s Bergmannkiez. From the outside, it seems unassuming, but anyone who enters immediately feels welcome. This lovingly run restaurant sees itself as a family business, where warmth and personal attention are a given. If you’re looking for a bagel in Berlin that’s more than just basic sustenance, you’ve come to the right place. Dishes are prepared with fresh ingredients and artisanal skill, with a touch of the Orient providing a new breakfast delight. Because seasonality is paramount, the menu changes regularly, making every visit a little different.

Bagels, Shakshuka, and Homemade Cakes

The Me Bagel is considered the house’s signature dish and is a real crowd-pleaser, with fresh ingredients and a balanced flavor combination. For those who prefer something heartier, opt for the Halloumi & Eggs Bagel: protein-rich and full of flavor. But the menu goes far beyond bagels. In addition to Shakshuka, Salads, and Smoothie Bowls, it’s clear that the kitchen’s heart is firmly in the Middle East. They also bake their own cakes, which is why the café always smells tempting. The vegan banana cake with peanut butter topping, in particular, has its fans. Alongside these, there are lattes, fresh juices, and smoothies. On weekends, reservations are recommended, as What a Treat is often fully booked. During the week, however, a table can usually be found without a problem.
