It’s been over half a year since I’ve visited this city, but I still have one last place I wanted to share with you and that’s Silo Coffee in Berlin. Blending brick walls and concrete lampshades with rough wooden furniture, Silo Coffee perfected that industrial feel. Add some coffee from those famous German roasters The Barn and a delicious breakfast menu in the mix, and you instantly know why this place is so popular!

While we were in Berlin, my friend Pieter and I were wandering through the Prenzlauer Berg with its overload of coffee bars, vintage shops and record stores, when we came across Kapitalist. The beautiful terrace, bathing in that typical Berlin atmosphere, convinced us to sit down for a beer and gave us a little hint of the café’s interior. Inside, there are lots of cozy nooks and corners where you can enjoy a coffee or a cocktail and a good conversation with your friends. Located in the calmer part of the hip Oderberger Strasse, I’d recommend Kapitalist for a relaxed break from exploring this lively neighborhood.

With the weather getting colder and work taking over these past few weeks, I can’t help but reminisce about past holidays during warmer times. One of those trips that I haven’t shared yet, was this summer’s stay in Berlin. After spending some time in Leipzig and exploring Melt! festival, I figured it was about time I’d make it to Berlin. Together with one of my best friends, I finally headed to the city that had been on the top of my to do list for quite some time. We spent our stay there wandering the streets of different neighborhoods, sipping coffee, riding our bikes, exploring architectural gems, sleeping on a boat(!) and drinking beers. After the intense experience of Melt! festival, these few laid back days were exactly what we needed before getting back to Belgium. I did fulfill my blogger duties though and photographed a few places that I discovered. Maybe you already saw one of them in a previous blogpost, but I’ll share the others with you soon. For now, these photos bring up lovely summer memories while I’m already looking forward to my next trip. Curious where I’m going? Here‘s a tip.
When my friend and I walked by Bitte! during our stay in Berlin, I immediately fell for the cute sign outside (which I sadly forgot to photograph but you already caught an impression of the logo if you’re following me on instagram) but we already made plans for the day and decided to put this tiny coffee bar on the to do list for another day. The next morning we went back to indulge in their delicious coffee and greek inspired breakfast (Bitte! offers a small menu of greek specialties) and see their cute interior up close. The adorable logo outside already predicted good things for this café’s interior and we were not disappointed! Dressed in a nautical theme, Bitte! is filled with more cute illustrations and a good atmosphere. Bitte still be there when I return to Berlin, Bitte! I’d love to stop by again and try the rest of the menu …
