Bridging the gap between Mitte and Prenzlauer Berg, this charmingly tiny and cozy cafe also bridges the gap between Berlin’s flourishing expat scene and native Berliners. The inviting creation of two Kiwis, Antipodes seamlessly pulls together all of the requisite elements for a superior coffee shop experience. Even first-time visitors are greeted like old friends while treated to hearty daily soups, an array of grilled sandwiches and even marvelous breakfast options.

A gathering point for the neighborhood’s charged international crowd, Antipodes draws a steady stream of guests with its Kings & Queens organic coffee along with its latte macchiato—an unassailable frothy dream, just like the cafe itself.
