Wahrhaft Nahrhaft

Wahrhaft Nahrhaft: Living Room with a Counter

Opposite the RAW Gelände in Friedrichshain’s Südkiez, a place awaits that feels like visiting someone who really cooks well. The different corners of the café are a mix of mismatched living room furniture, paint peels from the walls, pompous picture frames and deer antlers complete the picture. Victorian decorative elements, vintage furniture and old-fashioned coffee machines round off the look. On one of the sofas, you’ll stay longer than planned anyway. Board games can also be borrowed, making the visit a real afternoon program.

Everything Homemade, Every Day

The real reason to come here is behind the counter. Everything is homemade, freshly baked daily. The fresh bagels come in various creative variations, for example, a herb bread bagel with French walnut salami, tomatoes, basil, and cream cheese, or the so-called “Cinnamon Goat” with goat cheese, plum jam, and arugula. The bagels share the counter with small cakes, cookies, and cheesecake variations, which are also homemade. Additionally, there are daily changing soups and salads, freshly squeezed juices and smoothies, as well as various coffee specialties. The cozy atmosphere and the variety of vegan dishes make the café a popular meeting point, with the creative bagel combinations standing out in particular, offered with salmon as well as completely vegan. In short: Wahrhaft Nahrhaft is one of the best delis in Berlin for those who don’t want to compromise on lunch.
