The Greens – Coffee & Plants

Green Oasis in the Courtyard of the Alte Münze

Those who know the entrance to the Alte Münze will find more than just a creative cultural venue behind it. Founded in 2018, The Greens is located in a wing of the historic former state mint and is part of a creative hub near the Spree. The café combines industrial architecture with a lushly green interior. Inside, succulents, ferns, and crooked fig trees grow along wooden planks, while outside, from April to September, the Münzgarten awaits with wooden benches and porch swings. Sage, peppermint, and rosemary for herbal teas grow directly in the café’s garden. If you like, you can take one of the plants home with you: The Greens sells its plants directly to guests.

The Greens: Healthy Eating with Berlin Roastery Coffee

The concept behind The Greens is as consistent as it is appealing. The coffee comes from the Berlin roastery 19grams, with filter coffee varieties changing regularly to offer a varied taste experience. In addition, there are vegan and vegetarian snacks based on regional and seasonal ingredients. Alongside cakes, homemade power balls, and freshly topped natural sourdough bread, colorful latte drinks in red, yellow, and green are on the menu. The signature drinks rely on special ingredients such as turmeric or chili and are considered true soul food with an energy boost. If you prefer something heartier: The tofu sandwich is considered one of the filling, plant-based options on the menu. Thus, The Greens seamlessly integrates into Berlin’s growing healthy living scene and convinces primarily with its credibility. No greenwashing, but a lived concept.
