In Kollwitzkiez, one of Prenzlauer Berg's sunniest neighborhoods, sits Kaffee KÄTHE with an outdoor terrace, homemade cakes, and a Guatemalan coffee blend. Regulars have made this breakfast café their morning ritual. Cozy, family-run, and without much fuss.

Cafe Holzmarktperle is the sunny heart of the artist quarter Holzmarkt 25 in Friedrichshain, directly on the Spree riverbank. Those who grab their coffee here sit on a green square between creativity and a view of the Spree, with self-roasted beans in their cup and vegan cake on the table.

Located on the traffic-calmed Ludwigkirchplatz in Wilmersdorf, Weyers Cafe – Restaurant is a true neighborhood institution with a spacious sun terrace, traditional German cuisine, and a clientele that keeps coming back from breakfast to dinner.

In Biesdorf Palace Park, far from Berlin's city center, guests at Café Schloss Biesdorf can sit on the terrace with views of well-maintained gardens, while inside, stucco-decorated ceilings and historic vaults transform coffee breaks into a journey through time. Since early 2025, a new team has been providing homemade cakes and coffee specialties in Marzahn-Hellersdorf's most beautiful sunlit café.

The Zitronencafé (Lemon Café) in Körnerpark is a beautiful place with a large sun terrace in the middle of Neukölln.

Café, restaurant, and bar under one roof: The auszeit in Berlin-Pankow Niederschönhausen lives up to its name.

On the western shore of Lake Weißensee in Weißensee, Ormos by Milchhäuschen sits as a sun-drenched café with a Greek soul. The expansive lakeside terrace, the bright glass pavilion, and a menu ranging from mezze to homemade cake make this place a sun café with true lido charm.

The moa Café & Bar on Kirchstraße in Moabit is Berlin's charming address for breakfast in the sunshine: With delicious scrambled eggs, salmon breakfast or avocado toast and strong coffee, you can relax here like rarely anywhere else in the city.

Hidden behind a stone entrance gate on the historic Richardplatz in Neukölln is one of Berlin's most atmospheric sun-drenched spots. The Café Restaurant Villa Rixdorf combines listed Wilhelminian era architecture with a spacious beer garden where time somehow seems to stand still.
