Silo Coffee: Australian Brunch in the Heart of Friedrichshain

Anyone looking for a trendy breakfast in Berlin that’s more than just scrambled eggs and standard filter coffee will sooner or later end up at Gabriel-Max-Straße 4. Silo Coffee is just a few steps from Boxhagener Platz and has been attracting a loyal clientele for years, who are willing to wait for good coffee. Those who come early avoid the queue, as the cafe is almost always full. Silo does not take reservations, so the rule is: just show up and hope.

The culinary anchor is distinctly Australian. Near Boxhagener Platz, Silo invites you to an Australian-inspired breakfast, often served in cast iron pans. The menu is seasonally and regionally focused. Particularly popular is the signature dish “The Silo”: poached eggs, bacon, roasted potatoes, and fresh avocado, served on toasted sourdough bread. Hearty options such as baked eggs with chorizo also stand out, even in the brunch-heavy neighborhood around Boxhagener Platz.

Specialty Coffee from Our Own Roastery

At a trendy breakfast in Berlin, coffee plays just as big a role as the food. Silo Coffee delivers here too. The cafe is home to Fjord Coffee Roasters, founded in 2015, and also collaborates with Field Coffee. Together, they source specialty-grade beans from all over the world, which are ethically traded and go beyond fair-trade standards. The Flat White is one of the most ordered drinks, and the cafe is known for its versatile filter and roasting methods.

What also distinguishes Silo: The menu offers both vegan breakfast and lunch options as well as classic dishes with bacon and eggs, always with high-quality ingredients from local producers. On weekdays, the cafe opens at 8:30 AM, and on weekends at 9:30 AM. Anyone looking for a breakfast in Friedrichshain that offers quality, atmosphere, and coffee culture all at once simply cannot pass up Silo Coffee.
