During the week, breakfast often falls short, which makes it all the nicer to take your time in a cafe at the weekend. Berlin is a real breakfast city, and the loveliest addresses turn a crisp croissant and a creamy cappuccino into a little ritual. Tomasa in the Villa Kreuzberg has been drawing people for almost two decades with a lavish menu into a historic brick building by Viktoriapark, while Anna Blume on Kollwitzplatz combines coffeehouse culture with the scent of a flower shop. At the coffeehouse Zimt & Zucker on Schiffbauerdamm you sit among velvet armchairs with a view of the Spree, and the Cafe Kapelle in Mitte relies on natural ingredients and Rhenish black bread. Where will you start your next Sunday?

A really good breakfast is for me one of the loveliest morning rituals there is. I most like to take my time, leaf through a book and enjoy a really good coffee with it. For this list I breakfasted my way through Berlin, with a special eye on the quality of the ingredients, the attention to detail in the preparation and the ambiance of the cafe. Here come my favorite Berlin cafes for the perfect start to the day!
