Reading Cafes and Literary Cafes


The taz canteen (formerly taz-Café) on Friedrichstraße is not just named that, but is actually connected to the editorial office of taz.

Spending the whole day with a good book in the café – a Sunday at Frankfurter Tor could hardly be cozier.

The BrezelBar Reading Lounge in the trendy Bergmannkiez offers not only fresh pretzels and lye rolls from its own bakery but also intellectual nourishment!

Feasting and reading are paramount at Café Bilderbuch in Berlin-Schöneberg.

At Hennwack Antiquarian Bookshop in Berlin-Steglitz, books are the focus! Hennwack is Berlin's largest antiquarian bookshop and also offers a small café.

A good book, delicious cookies and coffee – what more do you need for Kreuzberg's "LeseGlück"?

Shakespeare and Sons is a bookstore with an attached café in Berlin-Friedrichshain.

The small literary café on Bornholmer Straße in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg functions as a reading stage, mouthpiece, and creative center for the Berlin publisher periplaneta.
