Top10 Berlin

Reading Cafes and Literary Cafes

Browse, read, and enjoy delicious cake and a good cup of coffee in a pleasant atmosphere. Berlin's reading, book, and literary cafes make this possible, each with different focuses. Some are primarily restaurants or cafes that also offer reading material, or vice-versa: a good bookstore offers homemade cake and coffee. In any case, you can find inspiration in Berlin's reading cafes and lounges: intellectually and/or culinarily!
