Hoppegarten

Hoppegarten in Steglitz is Berlin's coziest proof that a good breakfast needs no trends. For decades, this restaurant, cafe, and bar on Schloßstraße has attracted regulars from all over the neighborhood who know: everything here is just right.

Breakfast in Berlin that leaves nothing to be desired

If you don’t mind being spoiled for choice at breakfast, Hoppegarten is the perfect place for you. The breakfast menu alone spans four pages, ranging from sweet options to vegetarian choices and a full English breakfast with bacon, baked beans, and fried eggs. For those who prefer something a little more Mediterranean, there’s the Italian breakfast with country ham, gorgonzola, and tomato-mozzarella with homemade basil pesto. The salmon breakfast is also particularly popular, featuring smoked salmon on potato rosti, horseradish sour cream, and a homemade honey-mustard dip. Cheese lovers will also get their money’s worth: the separate cheese menu offers everything from mozzarella sticks to baked camembert. During the week, breakfast is served from 09:00 to 13:00, and on weekends even until 15:00. So, if you don’t want to set an early alarm, you can still start your day relaxed.

A Steglitz Institution Since 1978

Hoppegarten has been around since 1978, long before Steglitz became a sought-after residential area. Then as now, you can sit here either in the cozy cafe area or in the heated winter garden, looking out onto the bustling Schloßstraße. Right next door is the Schlosspark Theater, directed by Dieter Hallervorden and considered one of the cultural landmarks of the district. Also in the immediate vicinity is the Adria Cinema, one of the last classic Berlin movie theaters. So, if you’re planning a cinema evening or a theater visit, you can start your day relaxed with a hearty breakfast at Hoppegarten.
