So what makes a great Berlin cafe? Well for me its a combination of a few things, great coffee, great food, friendly staff and then the actual design of the cafe and the feel good factor. Sometimes in Berlin it is very difficult to find a cafe that has all of them but thats before I discovered Hilde... this cafe is perfect. They serve generous sized breakfasts, particularly 'The Hilde Breakfast" which looks and tastes wonderful. Hilde also has a fabulous Irish Breakfast and it is the real deal, all the products are imported from Ireland. They serve this at the weekend and is not to be missed especially for those missing this great weekend brekkie. Also on the menu is a range of tasty treats, freshly baked quiches, salads, 2 daily soups and some mouth watering cakes. I must also add that the coffee is 'more than fair trade' and it is from a local Prenlauer Berg coffee company, the prices are very good too. The decor is vintage style furniture and of an excellent quality and not shabby like some other cafes but I guess they were all chosen with great care for comfort and design. The window seats in particular seem very popular choice of seating, maybe next time I manage to get one as they were all taken when I was there. There is also a Vintage Jewellery cabinet by Glitz Museum which is a nice extra feature to Hilde. I must also add that the music selection while I was here was well chosen and very enjoyable. I just have to say that I was very impressed by everything and as I said its rare to find such a cafe and all served with a friendly smile. I've also been in here at nightime and it is a very cool bar too, good tunes and a cool crowd. All I have to add is, who is Hilde?

Hach, Kinder, das Café ist wie die gute alte Knef - ehrlich, direkt und einfach herzlich. Genau der richtige Ort, um den müden Beinen etwas Ruhe nach den Pömps zu gönnen. Ein Tipp von Eurer Elwira PS: Und gay friendly sind sie auch noch....
This new cafe bar has the coolest 60's furniture and suprisingly the 'international herald tribune' newspaper for those english speakers...like me :)
Must check it out, it looks great. Adios.
Have been working here a lot lately on my computer and as cafes go, this is one of the best places to work, its very chilled out and the music isn't distracting.
Hilde is her Mum, that's why the cafe is called Hilde :)
I agree it's a great bar!
I like this place too, have been in a few times, staff are friendly too and they played nice music, anybody been in here at night. Food was ok, portions could be a bit bigger but tasty though.
I am in for lunch a lot which is very nice, I found portions to be good and particularly love the soups. we have also been in at night for beers and its very cosy and chilled.
Anybody try their Irish breakfast yet and is it any good and at a good price.
Hilde is great. One of my favorite cafes, by far. A good place to get work done or just hang out. The salads are always excellent, paninis are delish.
By the way...it's PrenZlauerberg...you knew that, right?

I was not at all impressed today, was I just unlucky or has the coffee gone downhill?
Id give it 9 or 10 for the flapjack but about a 3 or 4 for the coffee.
I was in today and found the coffee very good, had two cappuccinos and my girlfriend had a latte macchiato. An on a side note...the Irish breakfast is fabulous (and very filling)!
I have been several times, always find the food really nice. Cofee is so so, not up to Bonanza or Godshots standard but its not that type of cafe, more for the atmosphere, decor and food... would be great if the coffee was better though.
