Bonanza Coffee Heroes, Prenzlauer Berg

Brilliant name, brilliant concept and most importantly brilliant coffee. The cafe is small and can get busy very easily but like Double Eye in Schoeneberg, this place is all about the quality of its coffee and it is the reason for its popularity. These guys are serious coffee baristas and part of the third wave of coffee culture, the only ones in Berlin, they are experts at getting the mix absolutely spot on every time. They make a perfect blend between their coffee and milk, they seem to be able to get their milk like no other cafe around, perfectly creamy, almost sweet and creatively with some amazing coffee artwork, I once seen Obama on a coffee here, amazing! The cafe is situated on the wonderful Oderbergerstr, at the edge of Mauer Park and it is the perfect place to sit outside when the weather is good as they have a large outdoor sitting area. Also highly recommended going there on Sunday when Mauer Park Market is on; what a great way to start your rummaging through the market or to take a break. They also serve a small range of snacks but as I said this place is all about one thing COFFEE and it must be one of the best in Berlin. I think if I lived in Prenzlauer Berg, I would go there every day for my coffee fix, its delicious but it doesn't stop people from travelling from afar. I also like the fact that it gets a nice international crowd.
