Oodles of people swamp this coffee shop in Mitte during the warm season—ostensibly not for its fresh sandwiches, soups, espressos or Galãos (Portuguese for “latte”)—but for its scene. Couched at the bottom of the Kastanienallee hill and opposite of Weinbergsweg park, the cafe offers hunter green lawn chairs and concrete steps and welcomes four-hour Sunday afternoon conversations and people-gawking.

Celebrate the spirit of summer at this cozy little city hide-out.
