Steinecke
Friedrichstraße 134, 10117 Berlin
Solid Coffee and Breakfast on Friedrichstraße—Without the Starbucks Price Tag
Bakery chain Steinecke has two locations along Friedrichstraße—one near the Unter den Linden crossing, and another closer to Reinhardtstraße. Both are on the Brandenburg Gate side and open from 6:30 AM to 7:00 PM.
The coffee holds its own—I don’t find it any worse than Starbucks. A small (regular) Americano costs just over €2. I also tried the rum truffle, which didn’t quite win me over. That said, the breakfast offerings look solid, with a variety of options priced between €5 and €10. Bonus: the Reinhardtstraße branch offers a lovely view.
