Café Holzmarktperle: Coffee, Sun, and Spree Vibes

Cafe Holzmarktperle is the heart of the artist village Holzmarkt 25, located near the historic Ostbahnhof. The entire area was once a wasteland on the Spree riverbank, transformed through user-driven urban development, and now offers 12,000 square meters of space for culture, events, and creative work. The café itself is right in the middle, on the central marketplace of the district. So, if you’re looking for a good coffee in Berlin on a sunny day, you’ll almost inevitably end up here.

The passion here is coffee: freshly roasted coffee beans from their own roastery are served. Plant-based milk, such as oat milk, is naturally available without extra charge. Additionally, the selection of baked goods changes regularly, with most of them being vegan. So, if you’re looking for a vegan café in Berlin, this is a great choice.

Outdoor Seating with Sunshine and Spree View

The green square in front of the café invites you to spend free sunny hours drinking coffee and eating cake. During the week, you can almost always find a free chair, but on weekends, it can get crowded when the weather is nice. If you don’t snag a seat, you don’t have to miss out on your sunbath: with coffee, a smoothie, or cake in hand, you can simply move to the Spree riverbank, where the shimmering water in the sunlight is always a delight.

The café impresses with its nice interior, relaxed outdoor atmosphere, an espresso starting from 2.50 Euros, and chill sounds in the afternoon. All in all, it’s a sunny café that shows how outdoor seating in Berlin works when the location, coffee quality, and atmosphere are just right. It’s open Monday to Friday from 10:30 AM, Saturdays and Sundays from 11:00 AM, each until 7:00 PM.
