Bilder Book Café



Bilder Book Café is open from 9am until at least midnight every night, and sometimes even until 1AM. It has free wireless and the best thing is that you can stay as long as you want despite how much you’ve ordered or if you’re done drinking/eating (they never kick you out), which makes it a great place to study. It’s very Berlin, with its very unique, noncommercial café atmosphere. It’s like you’re in a living room, with plenty of sofa chairs, bookshelves, house lamps, rugs, a piano, and actual dining tables. My friend Cristina was obsessed with the soups. And my friend Lindsay was so in love with the place and went so often that the waiters there already knew her order before she had to say anything. As for me, my usual order was a Latte Macchiatto and a scoop of ice cream (for only 1 Euro); it made all those nights cramming for my E40 psets and studying German vocab much more bearable--definitely one of our favorite cafes. To get here, just get off at the Eisenacher Strasse stop on the U7 and it's at Akazienstrasse 28.
