Cafe Matilda, Kreuzberg

Right in the heart of the Graefe kiez area is the wonderful and inviting Matilda Cafe. The atmosphere here is very friendly as too are the staff, who are very relaxed and provide excellent service. They also play a nice selection of vinyl records, mostly of a funk, soul variety. There is nothing better than sitting outside with a group of friends enjoying their company and having a damn good Sunday breakfast. The selection of food is excellent and it is very fresh and tasty. Inside the decor is a mish mash of 60's style furniture made up of old chairs, tables and lamps but it works really well and there is a great comfy room down the back. This is one of those great Berlin cafes, not over designed but just right. Its a great place to spend an evening especially when its chilly outside but in the Summer the place to be is outside where you can take in everything around you.
Address: Graefestr. 12 U-bahn: Schoenleinstr or Sudstern.

Had a great breakfast here, well spotted. A nice crowd hanging out here as well. I spent half the day here with some mates.

Had the breakfast here on Sunday, a nice recommendation. Cool people here too and some nice looking people at that.... it felt just like I was a local. Thanks.

I really like this place. It has a great feel and the food and coffee are fantastic. The portions were large so be prepared to eat and eat well. Everything was incredibly fresh and plated beautifully. I also like Zitrone's Sunday brunch but this is a bit more traditional German (no small breakfast salads like Zitrone) and a sit down affair rather than brunch.
