Luckily there's a good brunch place in Mitte and it was discovered by accident after walking home late with a belly full of Cocolo ramen and just noticing that the cafe looked quirky and cool. For a Sunday lunch it was surprisingly easy to get a seat (albeit on a shared table, but no issue with that).
The decor includes some little figurines made by tape and placed in front of cactus on the table. Go figure.
The coffee was reportedly very good and smooth. The chai latte smelt very sweet and was made from powder. They also lathered on too much cinnamon. However after scraping this off, the underlying beverage was smooth, slightly spiced and not as sweet as feared.
- Sway Norway (herbed creme cheese, mashed beetroot, salmon, caramelised onion) €9 - a relatively standard open sandwich. Interestingly the bread was spread with half creme cheese and half beetroot spread;
- Drummers on the Highway (3 scrambled eggs, fried breasola, sausages, caramelised onion, oven baked potatoes, sriracha cream sauce, avocado, baby leaf, cherry tomatoes, dark sourdough bread) €14 - a very large offering without any surprise flavours. The sriracha cream (or mayo?) was a thinner lighter but equally spicy version and added some extra needed power.
A good breakfast with some nice drinks. It would be better if they had some smoothies, but baby steps. I also didn't get to try the Coco Anjela (which was described by another diner as deconstructed cheesecake).
