There was something about this scene that caught my eye. I will have to go back and give Gizmo's a try the next time I'm in the neighborhood. It's Wednesday and more signs can be found here.

Sony Center from above
This is a different view on the Sony Center than what I usually post! I found a secret cafe up in the rafters last summer with a nice terrace that gives onto the main space. If any of you are ever in Berlin, I recommend a visit!
PS: Take a look at Halcyon Travels for more of beautiful Lisbon.
Reflecting on ice cream
I actually took a picture of this window so I would remember this shop the next time I'm craving ice cream. But it turned out to be a good reflection too! You'll find more of them at Weekend Reflections.
Happy Friday! Hope you've got big plans for the weekend ahead. I can't believe it's September already, time really does fly.
Confidential to my brother: happy birthday!!!
Kaffee und Kuchen mit Stil
Like all good museums, the Humboldt Box also has a cafe! It's on the top floor of the building and gives onto the construction site of the new Stadtschloss.
As you can see, real progress has been made in the past few years that this has been underway. The cupola was added in 2015, I remember it being in the news.
There is also other construction going on in the area. A new subway station that will eventually be part of the line 5 is being built on Museumsinsel to make it more accessible by public transport. It seems like this project has been going on forever. I can hardly remember a time in Berlin without that subway construction, but it will be finished one day.
There's also a beautiful outdoor terrace at the cafe, but unfortunately, the day I was there was a bit cold and windy. I wouldn't mind coming back here though, it's a good stop if you have people from out of town visiting as you really get some nice views over Berlin. Best of all it's all included in the price of your Kaffee und Kuchen!
I'm glad it's Friday. I'm also glad the weather seems to have taken a turn for the better. I've got tickets for Hertha this weekend and I don't want to sit in the cold. Hope you've got something fun planned for the weekend as well. Have a good one!
Sweet stuff
The last stop on our cafe tour is the Süsskramdealer. It's a cute and quaint cafe/sweet shoppe located inside an old cigar shop. I've passed by many times and always wanted to give it a try, so I finally went for a visit recently with a friend.
In addition to hot drinks, they also serve cakes, sandwiches and salads. I guess you can already guess what I had... chocolate cake!
I'm not very good at denying myself the little pleasures of life. I'd definitely come back to this cafe, it's not so far from my home and I really liked the unique atmosphere. I hope you've enjoyed this week of cafes from Berlin. Happy weekend!
Aloha
Nope, I haven't run out of cafes yet! Today's featured coffee house is the Honolulu Cafe. This place is quite a trek for me, it's in the the former East Berlin borough of Friedrichshein. Honestly, I don't get to that part of the city very often, but I passed this place by one day and just wanted to come back.
So when I happened to be in the neighborhood with a friend last summer, we decided to check the place out. The inside is very cozy. You can pull a book off the shelf and settle in for a read, if you're so inclined.
There was no chocolate cake on the menu here, so I just had a coffee. Hope you are not too disappointed! Come back tomorrow for more of my cafe tour.
Looking out
I was happy to get the cyclist passing by as I got this shot looking out into the street from Wild Caffe. For more signs, take a look at Signs, Signs.
Another coffee house
Here's a look inside another cafe that I like to frequent, the GM 26. It is a bit further from my home, but still within walking distance. It's an especially nice place to go in the summer as they have a really nice outdoor terrace.
As I said yesterday, when chocolate cake is on the menu, I can't resist. This piece was so good, I forgot to take a picture until I was about halfway in. Oooops!
February theme day: Scene from a coffee house
I am so excited the February theme day is finally here! There's hardly anything I like better than spending an afternoon in a cafe with a good book or some knitting, though with my job, I have less time for those pleasures.
Today we're looking inside the Wild Caffe, one of my favorite local spots. It's a quick walk from my home and I have spent quite a few afternoons here enjoying the cosy atmosphere.
In addition to delicious coffee, Wild Caffe also serves a daily lunch special and a variety of cakes. When I stopped by a few days ago, chocolate cake happened to be on the menu and it's rare for me to turn down anything chocolate. I promise, it tasted as good as it looks!
It's a new month again and I hope you've enjoyed this look inside one of Berlin's lovely coffee houses. For more coffee scenes from around the world, take a look here.
Bonanza!
There are two things I'm crazy for, golf and coffee. Ok, there are probably more than just two things...
Hope you enjoy this bit of reflection. For more, take a look at Weekend Reflections.
Coffee, cake and more
Who can pass up the offer of coffee, cake, lunch AND magazines? Okay, I admit I've never partaken from the magazines at West Berlin, but their coffee is good. And look what's in the window - another bike! For more signs, take a look at Signs, Signs.
Cafe al fresco
The wonderful days of summer are almost here and it looks like this cafe is well-prepared to welcome guests to its patio. For more signs, take a look at Signs, Signs.
You're welcome!
I'm not sure if this cafe wants to be welcoming or wants to thank its customers... or both! In any case, I like the name. I also love those three arched windows and the contrast of the yellow building and the green shutters. I actually took this photo back in January, but failed to showcase it, so please forgive the snow. I promise it's not around anymore. For more signs, take a look at Signs, Signs.
Another Ampelmann
Here's another Ampelmann Cafe near the Monbijou Park. I find the big hat so funny and cute, I couldn't resist getting a shot of him. And don't worry, it's not actually cold here in Berlin anymore. The photos I've been showing this week are from the end of January. For more signs, take a look at Signs, Signs.
Reflections in a cafe window
Something about this scene really appeals to me. Perhaps it's the arched doorway and window. Or maybe it's the sad Christmas tree that still hasn't been picked up. Or it could be the bright yellow of the building. I'm guessing it's some combination of all these things! Hope you're having a fantastic weekend.
